That does look nice. Looks aussie, though I can’t really see the skeletal base. Is it a pink polyp one? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you know what your nutrient levels are and what is your lighting schedule? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The fish in your avatar looks like a lurker dude too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sadly, my paternity leave is coming to an end (as is my daily reefing time). I finally got a used 60mm macro lens, and figured I would post some recent shots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah for a 1000gph rated return pump 5/8” is pretty small. I would go as large as possible, and I bet that at 1” it would be quieter, you would get more efficient flow back to your DT allowing you to run it lower and transmit less heat to your tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that looks more like diatoms. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In my case, I was running a powerful pump with a less-than-ideal manifold pvc diameter (ie excessive head pressure). Are you reducing your return pipe at all? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great start! Consider a sump divider to separate your skimmer and your fuge. Part of it is to keep the detritus and chaeto from entering your skimmer, second is your skimmer body is going to get a bunch of algae growing in it with the light bleed. A divider can block the light and keep the...

I bet they’re trying to spawn. With changes in tank conditions they’ll crawl up as high as possible and “let loose”. I have a lid on so they can’t get too high, but sometimes they would be partially out of the water. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks man. Still not out of the woods, but I’m hopeful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My tiny “mag” from aquasd didn’t work out. It had a weak foot and frequently let go, and it really never acted like an h magnifica. It liked to stay down low and in the crevices and corner of the bare bottom tank. It never looked happy and eventually (maybe after getting stuck to my mp10...

Masstick is what people have used. I’ve tried it in the past. I find it messy and kinda gross to deal with. There are genicanthus angels that are considered reef safe. I have had the watanabei, Japanese swallowtail and bellus and they were all beautiful and hardy fish. I have not tried any...

Yeah I figure this is your chance! Tax return gift to self? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would say, run your lights at night, off peak, it will also help warm your tanks so you can run heaters less. Also tunze has submersible led lights which also function as heaters. I have two I’m not using, that I used in my refugium...

There are some that are less risky than others. Would love to get a tinkeri one day. Here’s a good article on the topic: https://reefbuilders.com/2013/10/29/keeping-butterflyfish-reefs-avoid/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I had successfully established a copperband into my tank. I was still feeding it a clam on a half shell every other night, but it was active, picking at the rocks constantly, looking well fed. I had passed the three month point and thought I was in the clear. But then this morning I...

Instead of borrowing sugar from your neighbor, you can borrow salt! Oh, forgot, @NanoCrazed doesn’t have salt! :P. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks great. Didn’t know those existed. Much better than the rim clips I’ve got. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah that sucks. :( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
