Bimaculatus Anthias, I'd imagine about the same as all anthias as far as care

Mine doesn't bug my bigger snails, he has probably made a significant dent in my smaller snail pop though. They'll also eat flatworms and feather dusters so be careful depending on what you have. No issues with coral though

Also picked up this fairy wrasse, this is him at the store since I have no idea where he is in the tank right now.

I have a melanarus wrasse, I don't really see them anymore.

Bimac anthias

Just to throw it out there, I have my titanium heater controlled from my apex with the on temp at 78.3 and off at 78.4, the actual variance is 78.2-78.5 when it plays out. No ill effects on the heater, it's been that way for a year

i'd love to take this off your hands, i'm a bit far away from you though in south jersey, so i have no idea when i could get there.

I use the apex fusion dashboard, not really any programming, just point and click with it, of course you can go into advanced mode but i haven't found a reason to at all. My wav unit is pick a setting, state a time and power and it works in a graph. same with my dos unit, moonlights, so on.

Cheap way would be carbon dosing, there are online guides for it, it's more involved though. More expensive way but more user friendly is biopellets and a reactor. There are also nitrate reactors, i've never tried one, and last thing you could try is one of the bacteria additives, something like...

For ease of use the Apex is the easiest, i have one and love it.

Looks like you're down the street from me, have a picture?

I stare at this every day, lol, he's right down the street from me, i just can't do it right now.

nitrates holding at 10ppm, phosphate is less than .02, doing pretty well.

yes, you need the lsm and the light string

I have the lunar led simulator from apes and a 2 led string over my 4 foot 135g tank, works great. i just programmed them to come on at lights off and go out in a couple hours and then the revers in the morning. for two leds it lights up the tank quite nicely, any more and it would be too much.

Without the algae all over, I'm watching my nitrates finally climb, I'm at someplace between 10-25ppm. I have to measure the phosphates next week but if they are down, I'm not going to Worry about it. Hopefully i can eventually remove my gfo and keep the nitrates up, let science take place and...

If you get the separate power supply for the apex brain, it can sense a power outage, just plug it in to a separate outlet not on the energy bar. Next, get a ups, and plug the energy bars into it. Then you can go into the apex and program it so if it senses a power outage, it will only leave...

Theres a chance on killing off your pods, but i didn't have that issue.

Very sorry to hear this, in the future though you can put the interceptor in your reef tank without issue, I used sentinel on my tank, about the same with an added ingredient, interceptor is better but I couldn't get my hands on it, took care of my bug issue. When your ready for some coral again...
