Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I do 10% weekly and everything seems happy. I've been getting good growth. I've never missed a week so I can't compare it to not changing. I like the idea for you guys who don't to do it over a period and post your findings, i.e. if things seem to be doing better, the same, or not.
I have an EV 180 and if I had to do it over I'd buy a different brand. As someone mentioned, the Euroreefs, ASM, and MRC's receive a lot of positive feedback in many threads.
I too have crabs and snails in the sump. Some hitchhiked in and others found there way in there somehow. It's a good thing. I also have Aiptasia in my sump/fuge. Anyone ever put any shrimp in there? I'd like to add a couple of Peppermints to hopefully rid the area of the problem.
Thought it would. Gave me all the info I needed. One thing I'm going to change is go to the 4" fans as opposed to the 2 or 3" ones. Take and post some pics as you go. Good luck with your installation.
These two threads particularly the second should provide all the information you need.

Thanks for the info Phyl. As I mentioned above, mine is currently about 2" long, still small. Would you recommend I wait for it to grow a little more before purchasing another Juvi? If so, about how big should it get before I entertain the idea of purchasing another?
