Thanks Tim,
And....Welcome to Florida
Man you're area was destroyed just north of you. My area pretty rough too, mainly tree and flood damage. Fingers crossed, but Duke Energy trucks just parked down the street where the lines came down. Glad to see you safe my friend!

Yay!
Power restored

As I approach 9 months since the reboot, I must say that I am grateful to have watched a pile of rocks transform into a reef. These were all started as frags, and some as old school frags, nevertheless, the vision from back in late January is now becoming a reality. Thanks for following along!

Discovered red bugs, which now helps me understand quite a bit about certain stalled corals... treatment 1 of 3 done. 1 full large dog chew. The most infested coral was free of bugs in a couple of hours post treatment. Certain acros slimed, I suspect they too were being impacted. Right before bed, everything looked fine. Dosed at 5pm today, will do a large water change tomorrow morning

I like to dose chemiclean at the same time to make my skimmer go nuts and let the cup drain back into the sump.
Turn off uv sterilizer and uv from the lights.
Pull out socks and you’re good to go. No carbon obviously

Yes he is, you are too my friend
We are definitely all in this together man, this hobby can quite humbling, but much easier with fellow like minded reefing pals

Hi Charlie,
Why chemi clean too? My skimmer definitely went nuts, but almost dialed back in, post 25% water change. No UV, pulled carbon sock prior. All seems effective, no bugs spotted.

Hey man, good to see you made it through the storm and you system did not suffer during the power loss.

Hi Jeff,
You as well my friend! Hurricane Ian was one of the worst hurricanes I can remember, and that's 1/2 a century, lol I cannot stress exactly how important preparedness is. I take it pretty seriously year round, but having a generator was peace of mind, my tank never skipped a beat. Having that cold front on the back side helped as well. I highly recommend a generator to anyone with acros, heck, my Jawdropper was twice the investment of my generator, lol....
This morning has been nice, looking at the tank and really enjoying the time and work, it's paying off, this tank is looking to be my best project yet
Cheers

This sooooo true and I agree. A generator is a must with a reef system or at the least a battery back up.

I am so happy for you Perry, the system is doing well, better then well It is nice to have a system to look at instead of the dread of a failing system. You have alway run nice system

I do the chemiclean bc if I don’t I can see the residual interceptor sticking to the outside of my skimmer with the cup off. The chemiclean makes it go super nuts.

And I do 2 large pills per 50g

And I do 2 large pills per 50g

I only did 1 chew, but it appears to have worked, should I go ahead and do 2 in a week? 90 gallons fyi.
