Date? And is vip pass like $20?

Honestly for a lightly stocked nano just do weekly WC and you are good. To get into keeping finicky corals a larger tank is easier with dosing of major, minor and trace elements. If you go big(er) then calcium reactor and/or swap using water from ocean - like large aquariums that are near the...

Please record session so folks who can’t make live event can view later …

Fat head anthias are also shy compared to lyretail which are the opposite of shy! I have five lyretail in a 75G and it’s constant action.

Here is plan: take nitrate/phosphate measurements, dose 0.5 ml NeoTitro, wait 24 hours then measure again. Today’s measurement : 0.12 phosphates; 0.00 nitrates.

Thanks for heads up. I ordered some brightwell nitrates and will start dosing to balance N/P. Sorry and by ‘balance’ of course I don’t mean 1:1 but something like 16:1 N to P.

Starting to feed pellets to fish now cuz they are far more nutrient dense, anthias love them and should result in higher nitrates/phosphates. We shall see

I have and use both 2 Mp40qd and 2 icecap gyre on my 75G and love all

LOL yeah corraline algae is taking off now. HR doing good but I have a couple other corals that are pale so starting to think it’s because my phosphate and nitrate levels are not stable.

I love my chaeto garden but it’s maybe too productive so have been thinking of maybe reducing photo period from 12 hours to like 8?

@JVU - Thanks for the feedback and recommendations and will try dosing brightwell nitrates to balance my tank. here is latest pic of baby home wrecker just for fun.

Been working on getting my two tanks stable at near NSW levels. For awhile I’ll have it dialin in but then it drifts. ph, alk, ca, mg, salinity all normal current phosphate/ nitrate levels however: phosphate is ok but nitrates super low and yeah I have fish, feed them everyday and have chaeto...

Thank you everyone for your feedback and recommendations. For now I’m just going to stick with same salt brand.

I’m on my last 200G mix of liveaquaria bag and need to order more salt. So far my two tanks (75 and 25G) appear to be ok using said salt (just Fritz reef pro?) but salt mixes at alk of 8.5 dkh alk and so been running both tanks at that alk. What salt would you get and why?

I have two tanks and run one on each. Make sure you have a back siphon hole on pump. No issues and this far 1.5 years later no issue.

Get a blue faced angel as they love to eat zoa!

It’s a sellers market right now however I’m in a townhouse and setup a 75G with 30G sump across floor struts so I wouldn’t have to reinforce floor. A 200G would require floor bracing so yeah employ your best construction friend to help you plus run GFI 20 amp dedicated circuits and RO/DI lines...

Zoa or palys? I’m in my tank all the time but wash my hands before and after.

I posted the video partly just for fun and also to acknowledge even in a lab it is nearly impossible to culture pure chaeto with ‘no bugs’. If chaeto will grow so will nearly anything else if given a chance. LOL Most people really mean do you have a know pests and I normally indicate I have...

Uh … yeah!
