Thanks guys! Feeding PE Mysis and Cobolts Coral food.

Thanks Andy

Didn't know Cobalt made a coral food. Is it frozen?

Yup. Blister pack cubes.

Took me a while but I got thru this build thread, I enjoyed it. As someone with 5 empty fish tanks and an empty stock tank for about 6 months, I applaud your patience

Nice job on the stand, really like your sump, and can say the same for the light. Looking forward to seeing your tank mature.

WOW! Thanks for reading! Stay tuned..

Keep us posted on how you like the pro salt, I changed from the pro salt back to the blue because I was running my po4 so low the high dkh was giving me issues. It's still a little higher than I want at 8, but no I'll effects thus far.

Will do Paul. Before Red Sea Pro I ran Brightwell's Neo Marine and had great success but went back to an evaporated salt. Before that I was using D-D but could no longer get it from my LFS.

That's the same reason I ha e problems with the salt. If I run my dkh any higher, my corals get angry because of low nutrients

So what do you think about the marinepure blocks so far?

spspirate · Jun 19, 2015

Well I ended up removing the Marine Pure because of the possibility of it releasing aluminum. If I was 100% sure that it did not I would definitely run it again for the redundancy.
