Yeah it is still at home running. It only has fish and mushrooms growing in it though.

LMK if you want any advice! I run a 20 gallon AIO stuffed to the brim with acros

Oh yeah, need some inspiration! Can you give us the run down of the gear you're using?

I have the Waterbox 10 Gallon all in one, a radion gen 4 xr15, JBJ Auto top off, and a Jebao SLW-10. I am happy with everything so far but I do wish I went with a MP10 for flow instead.

Where did you put the SLW and what sort of pattern/schedule are you running?

I'm doing an IM 10 SPS tank right now and the time has come to choose sand or no sand. I have the MLW-5 (just set to random, so from 250 to 790gph depending), but wondering if it's going to be a sandstorm in there if I add sand. I don't really want to sacrifice flow if I don't have to.

I ordered it off amazon. The mode is called W2 and the pattern looks like a tidal swell. I have it on 40% power with sand and I am not experiencing a sandstorm.

@bubbaque How long did you wait until you placed the Acros in that tank?

bubbaque · Oct 7, 2022

I waited about a month.

Unfortunately someone at my work got covid and when they cleaned everything with lysol it got in my tank and killed everything. I did a 100% water change and things seem good again but I have to rebuy everything.

i feel sorry for that, bubba!
But you will come back even stronger

Still is one of the best sources to see what corals actually look like. Not some doctored up garbage from the retailer.

Hopefully not for too much longer!

Working around corals all day can take the excitement out of the hobby but lately I’ve been excited about getting some new corals.

My tank at home has been running for a couple years not really doing much with it but I’ve ordered some new sticks. I’m hoping sharing pics again will keep my excitement going!
