poss small harem of clowns and stick w the smaller tang,like tomini for instance spam alert... n page two

I haven't had a ton of luck with clowns. I've yet to find a fish I absolutely love aside from my scopas and I just found him dead in my 57. I think my kole tang killed him.

Our sump has water in it! 5-10 more gallons and we will have the pump flowing. Hopefully we will get some rock in it today.

water flowing yet

It is!! Almost cleared up. Have the rock soaking so when I cut it it won't throw dust all over then we are going to start scaping.

Today I'm gonna do a 2fer. I'll do one later this evening as well.

Day 5 mushroom post (1 of 2).

Also, today we plan to do some water testing as well as add some bio-spira. Does anyone have any input one way or the other to if bio-spira ACTUALLY helps?

 

[fishguy242]

Just my opinion ...!! .no quick fix comes in a bottle..not including med treatments!! again just my 3 decades of full blown reefing..old school opinion not seeking debate

 

[fishguy242]

Ha! You thought I forgot?!

Day 6 mushroom post. Not sure what this little guy is going to turn out to be, but I have high hopes!

Also tossed a loose superman and a frag of pulsing xenias in the 80g and they seem to be doing great! I got my 1st of 2 shipments from Algae Barns refugium starter kit and put that in a couple of days ago. Can't wait for this baby to be ready to stock!
