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.
Fish are in and looked good. Rushed the acclimation a bit since I wanted to get the wrasses in before the lights turned on. Overall pleased.m and would recommend.
I wouldn't run an sps tank without a trident. If your not into acros then you don't need a trident. If you have anemones only you probably don't ever need to test for alk/cal. I know I never do on my clownfish tanks.
Unless you can change the oxygen saturation levels in your house you just end up chasing numbers. Yes higher PH may lead to faster sps growth but so does stable parameters.
For those that have been to my home to pick it frags I think you will appreciate this. After 8 months of not being able to see into the tank I finally but the bullet and ripped everything out an rebooted the aquarium. Gave myself a ton of room for new fishes and just placed an order at Ocean...
Not sure how your fish got it if everything was qt'd properly. If it's just your Purple Tang I would try and feed well and see if it can build up some immunity.
