Glad you're seeing success! Got some corals for you too when you're ready, just let me know. @Invictus should have a Polyp Lab block ready to go as well if you want more bacterial diversity too.
No need to replace @tribbitt 's either, they're meant to be shared. After a couple months you can clean it off and drop it off with myself or @Srt4eric
Welcome! I think there's a few other members recently that posted who are down in your area, @crashdump and @mlang . I'm thinking we should create a Monterey Bay sub forum at some point people can down there can have their eyes on it!
Saw your post about moving away from SPS. Have you considered a calcium reactor to ease up maintenance and dosing? We saw with the other Dan's tank that you can keep an SPS tank going with pretty much an ATO and a CaRx for a very long time.
