Oct. Update: This is likely the last update on this tank. I will most likely move some of these corals and clean up crew to the 210gallon tank. I will soon be looking to sale this one for cheap or most likely donate this to some young person or school etc.

I recently started running a brs mini gfo reactor with Rowaphos on my 40gallon sps tank. Finally got things down under .09, I ranged.from .02-.05 last few tests.

I've been doing research on this fish type. I read that they can possibly eat smaller fish? I have maroons not yet 2.5 inches and 3/4 inch banghi cardinals. I know his isn't anywhere near max size nor are the fish I have. Would him eating the fish I have be a serious concern I should have or...

I've tried a derasas twice, like 1-2 inch ones, they both didn't last 2 months for me. Though the 3-4 inch maxima clam I have had from 2 cams ago is looking great. Not sure if I got bad/sick clams like u mentioned here or they were just way to small and fragile. Maybe a slightly larger one...

No ato? That's a huge salinity range. If you don't have one I think it's top 4 of needed reef tank equipment.

+ 1. To sump should have enough space to contain water during a power outage. I would add it's best to purposely trigger a power outage to return pump as in unplug it or turn off power to it, to ensure that sump can contain the extra water. It's a very important step when setting up a newer...

Breif update: So far it seems like tank has hit the ugly stage with a diatom outbreak. Slight issue with the banghi cardinals. 2 weeks ago I started with 3, added 3 more the very next day making a total of 6. A day after adding the other 3, 2 went missing. 2 days later I had four left...

I have dang wrasse that's been oblirating smaller snails in my nem tank. Grrr, pretty big 6 inch paddle fin wrasse. Beautiful guy so guess i will have to just get use to replacing snails. So far he hasn't gone after hermits at all. I have plenty if shells and hermits in the main 40gallon are...

Keep a eye on the torches and euphyllia, can't tell if left side is hammers or torches, if hammers could be too much par for them, torches would likely be OK there. Overall looks ok, that coral back left corner at 19 par may need slightly more par maybe 60-80. But overall if lights have been...

That was my thoughts it looked like Rowaphos by the color

Welcome back. Please don't let lack of corals keep you from showing up, we would love to have you there.

Sharing the video incase anyone is intrested.

Not hard to build a small one. Check out diy videos of it. If you think it looks possible to you, and you can make it down to santa clara one day and I'm available. I have the tools and a fair idea of diy projects. Though no professional, yet I expect I could help you do something that looks...

Yea I think it would vary by torch type. Yet I agree with Derek if i was voting a single head dragon soul pretty common yet highly desirable i would think bonus.a dragon soul with multiple heads could increase its value or desirability- that's why submission to be voted would be a good idea.

+1, no coral- no lights. Add clean up crew. Personally on my newly started tanks I do (clean up crew ramp up over time) On 210gallon tank as an example, I ran it a week nothing at all, lights off no fish,Or coral. Yet my tank was started with 100% live rock and 75% live crushed coral. Week...

Probably a large part of how familiar you are with preforming each test ie. Hanna calc and salifert Calc. If your not spending time reviewing steps they are pretty close to same time. The Hanna calc I have a screw cup of rodi near the testing kit saves time. For the salifert kits I have the...

That's all the bigger ones I have, in have a few smaller ones, I care alot more about. Yet looking at the current rocks structures and layout I would likely fill the tank up with what's left in the frag tank especially trying to space out torches and hammers.

Interesting fish behavior. So it seems 2 of my maroon clown fish pairs have befriended yellow tangs in two different tanks. 210 gallon tank Just added this yellow tang, and the lighting maroons were added a week or so ago. First night yellow tang was hiding on other side of the tank. The...

Only speaking of my tanks they haven't killed my snails but I have extras shells for them around the tank.

Do you have any clean up crew in their hermit crabs or snails etc. Don't see any picutured unless I missed them. I Agree Your tank is starting to take shape.
