Time for condolences, I lost a frag. This post was automatically created by BARcode

Thanks for this post! I never knew UNS made Reef tanks. Looking at their R systems online, I am truly shocked by their level of integration and modern look. Definitely will be on my shortlist list for the next tank build :-).

My first chamber is the refugium and probably the most practical place for corals. Can the drains (primary, emergency) be modified for directional flow instead of straight down?

I use BB as well, it grows pretty fast. Started as a baseball and grew to a volleyball size. Made the mistake of removing half of it at one time, and nutrients spiked. I hate throwing these away since they are so nice looking. My tank is only 40g so can't house a tang, what other fish would eat it?

Possibly this weekend, but will confirm tonight. :) Are you getting something else from him as well?

Are you sticking with macroalgae?

Besides oxygenation and pH stability, there are likely more benefits I haven't discovered yet. Macroalgae play a role in many successful tanks, and I prefer to follow proven methods. On that note, I also run a protein skimmer!

Both! I want to be in the habit of dosing P and N because of Dinos. For the past couple of weeks, dosing increased from 2ML a day to 4ML a day because P was reading at 0. It was consistently .03 to .05 for the past 3 months. The biggest change was shifting from AFR to Kalk, which crease PH, ALK...

Thanks! I look into DOC. I also worry about corals not being as efficient as macroalgae, but the current system is using more p/n than my normal feeding.

Has anyone completely removed their Macro Algae and replaced them with easy-to-grow corals in the sump? If you have, what are the positives/negatives? Possible thoughts on positives/negatives Positives: At the end of the day the preference is to grow Coral vs Macro Algae. Less strain on...

This is pretty cool!

Michael is making it for me as well. I plan on using frag seats. I ordered the frag seats today and should be arriving by next week.

Did you plan on drilling holes for coral placement or using frag plug seats?

I used RS Blue Bucket for several years and switched to IO "regular" salt. I really can't tell the difference between the two. There are a few reasons why I continue to use IO, listed in order of importance. Parameters - Falls in line with my tank parameters. Availability - The main reason why...

For sure! It’s currently in the sump.

Hi All, I am removing some rocks from my main display and have an extra rock structure to give away. The little rock structure is about 7 inches talk. My tank is pretty clean, no pests, no vermetid snails, or anything that I am aware of. The rock is currently in my sump. The rocks have holes in...

The inspirational aquascape below is made from Fiji branches. This is the look I am going for. edit. Not my Tank :-)

That's pretty fast growth! thanks for sharing PAR/parameters.

That's amazing! I have tried to get my daughters to help but they show little interest in the hobby :-( . Maybe I should compensate them with $$ .
