The mushroom leather and the Gsp are locked in battle for total spectrum dominance. It is the greatest happening of our time.

did you reuse the water from your 29 or did you start new and fresh cycle before your coral?

 

[SoftballReefer]

i put as much of the water i could from the cube.

 

[Richard Cross]

how are your coral taking to it? did the tank go through a cycle? it looks nice

 

[SoftballReefer]

it was basically like a water change for them. everything did well. small diatom bloom from new sand but no cycle.

very cool. congrats on the successful swap brother! sorry about your 29 blowing out.
