I considered that.... Many a day Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Perhaps I will do what you did and put low flow stuff there. Is the surface of your water turbulent? Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Chapter 11: I think it's 11 but whose counting.. Gentlemen let us speak of flow. Currently I have two sources: the overflow return nuzzle on one side and mp10 on the other. The left side of the tank doesn't get nearly the same amount of flow. If I turn up the mp10 the right side gets...

Welcome John! Very nice tank. I love a nice planted tank. Could never make one work. Go figure. But I also started with salt water.... Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Update: I have quite a bit of corals in there. Soon will be gluing these to their permanent spots. So far everything is going well gentlemen. I actually look at the tank with hope and admiration rather than despair and wrath like the last one. Shallow tanks are soooo easy to work on I...

Oh an look at those camera shots ladies and gentlemen!!! I threw my previous phone (iPhone 7) into a passerby, and got a LG V30 which has DSLR like camera. Highly recommended you gentlemen follow suit. Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Update: I am back to three damsels. ...not due to evil magic but due to buying a talbots damsel from lfs. Also got a few corals and a coral banded shrimp with one claw.... ...well he had 2 when i got him but he had an altercation with my mp10 powerhead. ... I now have foam on it ... We...

3rd update: I have ZERO luck with chromis. First it didn’t eat. So I got bribe shrimp to feed it so it doesn’t die. It fed Then died shortly after anyways. My last tank I went through 3 chromis before I gave up. Thought it would be different this time around. So I went and got 3...

2nd update: After lots of beer, pondering, and a fancy camera app with advanced settings, I am now much better at taking pictures...

Update: there is even more life in the tank now... Ok officially either I’m the worst photographer in the world or the iPhone camera is out to get me. For whatever reason all the shots come out blue like this and not vivid at all. Any ideas gentlemen how to fix this? So far the only...

Chapter 10: And on the 5th day, the Lord said let there be life... In my case it’s like 25th day but hey, who’s counting.... There is now life in my tank: Terrible iPhone picture of what is supposed to be a monti and a chalice piece. For whatever reason iPhone camera picks up kessil...

Update: the cycle is still going and it’s boring as all hell and driving me to booze out of said boredom so in the meantime I present for your amusement: -Random Beer Review- Verdict: Wanted to try something different from my usual Blue Moon or lately Yuengling. ....it’s pretty good...

Absolutely plan on mangroves in this tank. 1000%

Guys how the hell am I supposed to interpret this scientific fiasco?! My ammonia went up then disappeared. Then my nitrites went up as u guys saw from previous pic. Now a few days later my ammonia is creeping up again and now no nitrites but showing nitrates. I have not seen such blasphemy...

Gentlemen: let us collectively refuse to entertain such unscientific and barbaric notions that seem to be taking place in our fine community. Let us not stoop to the level of certain individuals in this club that have lost all shame and feel the need to regularly use a delicate reef as their...

Update: Seems like ammonia has drastically went down and nitrites are up. Should I add another shrimp to produce more ammonia? What you guys think. ... let me know ASAP so I can steal one out of my wife’s lunch for tomorrow

I’m actually not putting a top on it. The whole idea is to be able to look from above as well. Gonna make it a coral/invert mostly tank with maybe some cardinals. I think the top would ruin the look of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update: the sacrificial shrimp seems to have been accepted by the benevolent reef gods. Ladies and gentlemen: we have ammonia... Let us raise a beer stein to such momentous occasion and drink and be merry. ...and there is no smell because #notsalmon ...wife still is a loving and...

Chapter 9: it's cyclin' time! Ok so we are ready to create life in the tank. For this purpose I procured some liverock rubble from my LFS and a sacrificial shrimp pictured here: I sat there chanting dark chants to appease the reef gods before offering a sacrifice. After that, the...
