Looks like the nem is calling it a night.

@Hemmdog

I took your advice and bought a reputable doser.

I don't really need the doser yet but it will take me a while to set it up. Figure out the dosing container situation. Etc, etc.

Thinking once dosing is a necessity this will keep me from forgetting.

Going to test Calcium/Alk/Mag tomorrow to make sure my daily incremental dosing is producing the desired effects.

Can dosing be done out of the esv bottles at first or no?

Wow it looks good!
Wait 6 months they say... pshh..

 

[Philipgonzales3]

They say a lot of things...

It's because you @Hemmdog, @Why-Me, and others on R2R were in my corner. That and a lot of luck and I'd like to think a little bit of skill...but who am I kidding probably mostly luck.

Check this video out. Seems to be stretching out nicely. Probably looking for the clownfish! Lol.


I think it's also part hammer!

Wow your tank looks so legit dude! Makes me want a nem! Lol

Thanks! Like I said it's mostly due to you and Why-Me helping and guiding me. Only a few thousand dollars more in coral and it'll be set...

Haha and there is always a chance that the nem can go around and sting my coral.

Going to see how patient I can be while some of these frags grow out. Still want some Xenia and a toadstool leather but I know when the time is right it will find me so to speak.

The GHL doser I bought is the one with 4 pumps and I saved $100 by buying an open box, never used unit here on R2R.

Eventually I want a DC return pump as well, and I can keep this one as a backup. I think I'm getting close to running out of crap to buy haha...hopefully.

 

[Why-Me]

Already have the DCP 5000 in the "saved for later" section of my Amazon. Trying to have a little restraint. Also may entertain a reef octopus return pump since it matches the plumbing and I like to get some "higher end" gadgets sometime. Going to try to wait a couple of pay checks. I just bought some more Hanna reagents, a graduated cylinder for calibrating the dosing pump, etc, etc. I'm sure I'll find some more stuff that "I need" also. Wether related to reefing or just life in general.

Don't remember if I posted this but I got some different child proof cabinet thingies recently also.

Safety first.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Nice. This is common. I have several split tentacles on mine. Always looks cool.

Aw thanks dude! I love helping you out! It’s awesome to see you have success too. Seems like yesterday you were still cycling
I picked up a jaebo dct 4000 for my 40b build, people say it’s good. It was only like $67 on amazon if you wanted to check out a controllable dc return for cheap. In my 90 I have a varioS 4 reef octopus. It’s super legit. But not super cheap lol.

 

[Philipgonzales3]

Oh also my girl said that the leptastrea was her favorite coral and the teal looking Zoa's were her second favorite. The leprasrea doesn't do much for me personally haha. Maybe once it gets a little bigger. I think it's my least favorite coral although I do like them all lol.
