Carbon dosing will remove any amount of nutrient you have in the water easily. Just need to make sure you have a good skimmer. I no longer use GFO it only removes phosphate then what are you going to do with nitrate.

No idea about the light but you can use a smart plug and have it plug/unpluged remotely or on a schedule.

I have a few years back. The mail order operation of PetCo is not the same as the stores. Fish were delivered directly from the distributors Petco just do the money transaction. So in a sense similar to LiveAquaria.

Leopard wrasses are more resist to disease compare to others, the key is to get it to eat. I never QT my fish let alone performing any copper treatment.

Some of my old school stuff are finally starting to grow.

Nice. One of my favorite SPS corals.

Got a few corals don’t fit in my tank. Pick up central jersey, 07747 frogspawn purple tip baseball size $80 hammer two heads $40 Blasto $50 Trachy $400 watermelon zoas $20

The return needs to be higher than the highest water level in the reservoir. This is how I do it.

Think it was $25. With the gas prices lately and Covid bailout money is over I think you’d see a lot of unsold corals Sunday afternoon.

Haha I used to be the non-commital type as far as coral placement. Now I glue them down as soon as I got them. Can always move later and corals seem to do better glued down especially SPS. As for urchin I have a bigger pincushion and love it.

I don't have any because I carbon dose :)

Well if you have the $$$ why not.

Indeed. Although it does look like my regular frogspawn

I don't use filter socks on a regular basis, let the detritus settle in the sump. My corals love having some particles floating in the water.

I have a fish trap in Aberdeen but I don't think it will work for you. Flashlight in the dark with a small net is the best way to get hard to catch fish. Do it an hour or so after dark.

Yeah pretty cool. Do you ramp the lights down? I wonder if it's responding to the light levels.

Thanks Juan and Wilson. @ericrodriguez It's an MP40. After experiment for a while I use the short pulse mode mostly @70%. The Mag seems to like the wave motion. SPS are growing faster now especially these in the tank for a while. Plan to take a while every few months to compare the growth.

Tank is getting better after eliminating the hair algae. SPS has shown some growth. Rearranged right side of the tank to accommodate the new H. Magnifica. I think I am all set for a while and will let the corals fill in.

For us reefers, not worth the admission. but kids probably enjoyed it. Many years ago went to Paris and visited an aquarium there. Small aquarium but a lot of biotope tanks. A lot to look in each tank. Even Jenkenson aquarium in point pleasant have some interesting tanks. America aquariums...

My salinity calibration fluid is 10 years old and I probably used it twice LOL.
