Dibs!

Yeah you can try building a skimmer stand, but the recommended height is 6-6.5". That's the downside of the old AC pump skimmers. Tuning a skimmer can be one of the more annoying things with a new tank. That model is probably oversized for your tank too and might make it almost impossible to...

Tiger tails are generally not problematic, I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the club have kept them (or lost them) without issue. But if your pumps are anywhere they could reach, you should be careful since a strong Vortech etc. can destroy one.

Well if you don't rehome any, they'll end up being more shells for the hermits. For the tiger tails, keep in mind they reproduce by splitting, and they're mostly nocturnal. My copperband ate mine though. It also ate the snorkels off my nassarius snails and the antennae off the other snails.

Looks way more easy to deal with!

I usually add extra shells for hermits of different sizes to prevent death. Usually pretty easy to get them at your lfs from the ones that don't survive shipping. That's also probably too many nassarius snails unless you have a lot of messy eaters in the tank. You may need to feed them or they...

Fluconazole likely won't work from what I've read and experienced since it's not macroalgae, it's cyanobacteria. I tried to get some pictures but my glass isn't the cleanest: Again no holdfast really, comes off with a toothbrush.

Prime is good. Read the instructions on the badge, it's not just drop in, there's a couple things to keep track of.

Sweet thanks John. Starting his routine today.

Ammo alert badges are helpful for QT too. Keep some amquel or water conditioner around too for emergencies.

Whenever someone offers me a "free fish" I know it comes with free diseases too. Gotta QT all fish unless they're coming directly from Kenny or Biota. I go a step further and have a fishless tank in the back for new corals. Also it would be a lot easier doing this in like a 40 breeder or two...

If you had a sensitivity experience that bad, you should get rid of all of them and avoid that coral family all together. Plenty of other nice corals to choose from!

@gaberosenfield any growing tips?

For anyone thinking about this, it's really hard to get a true pink color that shows in both daylight and actinic. And it isn't that hard to keep vs. pink SPS. One of the reasons why @tribbitt 's tank looks good is because he uses contrasting colors and locations.

Kenny is pretty open with his success rate and it's very high compared to other individuals or businesses. Hence why he always has so many copperbands for sale.

Tbh I feel like you can get one as a PIF most of the time due to everyone not realizing their tank is under 200 gallons and rehoming it.

Your tank during LARS still looks better than most of ours at peak attention. Do you think the fish got through small gaps or just the short times you have the lid off? I like @SupraSaltyReefer 's idea of having some acrylic or something plug the back gap. I honestly only ever fully getting...

Oh I know, that's why I asked lol

@boun11 you need to get a bunch of these so you can bring them down here next time your kids have an event lol
