Corals.

oh last note...been planning the 6ftx4ftx30 acylic tank to replace the 300 !!!! Not sure if I want two external box overflows or two internal box overflow...Give up tank space to get close to wall or not...I guess 4 feet wide with a 5 inch internal box across the entire back will be ok. gives me 42 inch inside measurement cause of 4 inch box and 1 inch thick front and back sides. (6 inch total loss) not sure ..sharing so you can chime in your thoughts...Ciao

I've always had external.
Gives a lot more room IMO.

I read that Benipets does not raise phosphate, I’m going to try that next.

I use Benepets as well. And Reef Candy, and Coral Cane

Got my order from Dinkins should I add the entire gallon of the snacklebox to my sump at once?

 

[00W]

How y'all doing?

It should have come with directions, I add the pods directly to my DT after lights out with my wave maker off for a short period to allow them to get into the rock and sand.

Doing well, getting ready to leave work in 20 minutes and you?

It did but it didn't specify if I should add all of the bottles at once.

Up to you. I add one bottle today and one tomorrow when I get two but they starve pretty quickly so if the water is clear I'd add both today.

I will add the three bottles after the lights go out.

Anyone know where I could get something kind of like this that I could hang red sea lights from? The frame of my tank is too wide for the normal mounts.

I think you should.

Is your husband mechanically inclined? He can probably build something like that. @Gtinnel built one for his Noopsyches I believe.

You don't like it when it hangs from the ceiling?

I have really high ceilings that are not flat so hanging them won't work.

It seems that it is difficult to find something wider because now I searched on Google, Amazon, eBay and I can't find anything.

It will, it just take more attention to detail to get them even.

He can build a house from the ground up and he said he could but he wants to brace it off the stand and I don't like the idea of it running down the sides of the tank...
