@thetedinator

Thanks for the video.
Your reef is really awesome as always and very nice to watch.

Is that 5 Yellow Tangs in there?

Thanks, GoVols

Thanks. Yes. 5 yellow tangs.

That's a nice flock

Do they have a certain pecking order?
Or do they all just do their own thing?

Thanks, Freddie

There is constant confusion as to who is in charge until my Gold Flake Angel sets them all straight.

It's been a while since I posted pictures of my corals so here goes. Some photos are side view and some are top down. Lighting is Radion XR30 Pros set to 14k at about 60%. All photos were color corrected in camera.

palmer · Apr 4, 2017

what percentage of water you change at each WC? and how often

Maritimer · Apr 4, 2017

Beautiful tank, GHA and all!

I think it's delightful that you've got so many groups & pairs of things like banggais, azures, yellow tangs and coral beauties!

I have the See Clear magnet sleeves. They fit on different magnet sets. I use Mag-Floats

My normal regiment is to do a 15% WC every 2-4 weeks. Sometimes I up that to 25%. Lately because of battling the GHA and because I had a return pump fail and dump a bunch of Fe into the system, I am doing weekly 25% water changes.

Things are coming along nicely. Earlier in this thread you will see a photo titled "encrusting green and blue frag I got from Chefzilla" Here is an update for that coral. While I lost other corals this one hung in there. It is a slow grower. Since I don't know the name and I'm not sure Brent does either, I'm calling it Chefzilla's Unknown Blue and Green Acro.
