3 tanks! Wow! That's like having 3 kids! Kudos!
I did but when I first got it, tank was not all at full stream ahead. It's there now so I'll aim to maybe run a 24hr test again to track the uptake throughout the day.
I had 4 and sold my Elos cube last week BUT........ I have a new Drop off tank on the way to me to arrive Thursday and i'll be back to 4 tanks
That's pretty sweet! Like a mini drop off!I had 4 and sold my Elos cube last week BUT........ I have a new Drop off tank on the way to me to arrive Thursday and i'll be back to 4 tanks

;Joyful That was the most productive thing I could think to post. The alternative was begging for you to make my tank as successful as yours ;Drool also for money and free frags ;Playful
Haha, its all patience and having a system. With acros, they reward you in the long run. Took 1.5 years but its finally getting there. But its the same system that has worked for me in two previous tanks:
Couldn't you achieve the same thing without the GFO and biopellet but feeding slightly less? Correct my noobness but GFO reduces phosphates and Biopellets reduces nitrates? But then you feed super heavy. Overall the most frustrating thing about this hobby is we can both set up identical tanks in the same room and have different experiences. I'm attempting the KISS method after burning a few thousand dollar bills for research purposes ;Playful
I think feeding heavily is critical. You will see corals grow faster, fish healthier, and overall better balance to our mini ecosystems with heavier feeding... Granted it is balanced with aggressive removal to counter rising nitrate and phosphate levels.
Primarily feeding frozen? Pellets? I got lazy during the summer and was feeding pellets twice daily, test numbers went up and tank didn't look great.
Both!
Yes sir! I'm awaiting an ICP test to see if I'm in the clear yet after the mishap. Oddly, my iodine level shot way up during the mishap. If its back to normal, I'll leave it be. If the iodine level is still elevated, I'll do some water changes to dilute it.
haha yea this is the video I thought you had two powder blues
Yeah, but the female went male... And then the super male decided he'd rather be a crispy wrasse chip then a living fish any more.haha yea this is the video I thought you had two powder blues
Maybe I will have better luck once I upgrade from my 120 to 230. Love the wrasses. Are those a male/female pair flame wrasses? I love me some wrasse I must say.
Yea that's the risk all the wrasse police will tell ya. I'm to the point now where all the new fish I want are $250+, mostly wrasses. My favorite being my leopard, gives me anxiety thinking about moving her to the new tank ;Nailbiting Anyways, enjoy your night, I'm off to bed and back to the shadows I go ;Lurking
Beautiful color contrast with the corals, stunning
Love that setosa. Is that a hawkins blue echinata, middle left of the tank?
Thanks a bunch Marie! Its changed quite a bit at the new house! I miss that old tank!
