Update 7/29/25 The tank has been maturing nicely. I added some additional corals from the frag swap, all still in line with the goal of not purchasing any. Biggest change has been with my fish. The Blue Tang is out. He was a food hog, and was bullying/nipping at my favorite fish, so he had...

Yes, I think Tonga branches might be a solid aesthetic option for you while remaining low in the tank.

Your fish won’t have anywhere to hide, and you may end up feeling like it’s too sterile. Not really a display any more at that point. However, If your enjoyment comes from seeing the coral grow, and you don’t care as much about the display aspect, you could make it work. Be careful not to...

Have you considered just cutting a bit out of your structure and then reattaching with reef cement? Could get you an extra 1.5-2”

At the moment, I’d say there’s no issue. However, once they get even an inch taller the ones in front of the flow are going to start blocking it from those behind. You will eventually need to lower them if you want to continue to encourage growth and prevent issues. Personally I’d enjoy it as is...

Sweet thanks @PjFish @JVU I ordered from K&J

My ATO magnet seems to be swelling after only a couple of months in water. Could I try coating the magnet myself with some spare silicon, or should I just purchase a magnet? If the latter, any suggestions for smaller reef-safe coated magnets would be appreciated.

Can you grab me some Orange Setosa if you end up going.

@ClearWaterAquarium Any plans for another pallet purchase of Fritz?

I would be too scared to even pick it up for a photo. Annoy it at all and now you’ve got a $100 spec floating around your tank.

Haha I spotted that also.

Not a stomatella? Need a better quality photo

Growing well; offshoots starting to take off. Going to have to start paying attention with how close it’s getting to the Immortal Tort.

I would target something that’s going to contrast well against the colors you already have a majority of at the top half of the tank. Ie red if you have mostly green.

Cool, then my vote would be for Oahu, ideally with a hop over to the big island if length of stay permits. The best Snorkeling may be on the big island, the best hiking may be Kauai or Maui, but Oahu has it all. The one downside to consider about staying in Oahu, specifically Honolulu, is that...

How long would you like to be there for? Are you open to Island hopping while you are there or would you prefer to stay in one place? What other activities, would you like to do besides snorkeling or scuba?

Yeah, it seems to remain stable in the solution. I just eyeball it though and should probably work on a more exact kcl:rodi formula

Makes sense. I asked because I keep a concentrated solution of RODI+KCL in a sealed bottle which I keep at the ready to pour into a cup of saltwater, maybe 4:1 ratio. Has never hurt the corals and seems to work. That’s just diluted saltwater at that point though and not straight RODI.

Why are you saying not to use RODI?

I can still cut this to be ready for someone in a few weeks once it heals.
