My cbb makes sure I don't have to worry about any type of aiptasia looking thing. I just lost 30 dollars of look a likes. Oh well. I may need to move my nem system quicker than I think.

Took a quick glance at my tank and my coralline is growing on the side cube. It wasn’t there before my water change but I’m not complaining lol my phosphates are .8 after the water change nitrates are 10 water is still cloudy from the epoxy put some carbon in the tank and waiting for my finer filter floss cause the one I have now is a little big to catch small particles. My candy cane fell off the rock I put it on. But now I gotta buy super glue because epoxy not working. I’ll take some pics when I arrive home

Going down at least. Candy's are tough!

once i can get it to show in a pic, i'll post a candy nub. I never expected a meatless skeleton to sprout a new mouth either.

Time to get rid of that stock return pump

I have the same pump in my 20g. I think you'll be happy with it.

It’s very silent so far ! My problem now is that I feel like my overflow is not pulling fast enough

Does your overflow go into a filter sock ?

No the JBJ just came with a sponge and some media. No filter sock and I can’t find a filter sock for it because I want one lol.


I feel like I need to increase my lights to 80-85%. Since I changed my scape and it’s not so high. I have it at 75% I don’t hVe corals browning out so I’m guessing it’s okay. I’ll rent a par meter again once I lower my phosphates

Ok, I was just wondering if the sock may have been clogged and was slowing down the process.

Not sure about the lights, one way to find out I guess . Just do it slowly if you up them, but you already know that. .

1% a week or every other week ? I was gonna use the built acclimation set it for 30 days at 70% and let climb by it’s self.

i also think my Display is a little low but everytime I fill it up it just goes back down

I'd say 1 or 2 % per week would be fine. That's not a big jump.

Sorry, is your tank an AIO? I forget

Yes it is . I got it on sale from BRS 150 and stand 150 it was a good deal.

i also this 85% would be the highest I go

Interesting, my display stays pretty stable volume wise but the back chambers go up and down a lot. Only time I see a rise in the display is if some Richard snail has camped out over the weir causing the ato to go crazy. lol

I’m surprised I haven’t found any snails in my chambers lol. I’ll take a video when I get home of my back chambers

Here are some coral photos ! Things look a little better after the water
