The anthias are your determining factor. Anthias ideally should be fed 3 or more smaller feedings per day to maintain them in good health. You could try running gfo through a fluidized media reactor to keep your phosphates down. You could also use something like biopellets or another carbon...

I'm ready for round 2! Last year was awesome. Was like #20 in line on Saturday. Picked up some great deals and saw some incredible pieces that were far outside of my price range Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I have mine in the tank, but got sick and while sick had all my acros and Montis start bleaching and rtn. Soooo.... the picture has kind of gone backburner for the moment. Ill try to get the pic over the next day or so. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Sorry to see that. Always a bummer to have a DOA, especially when it's the reason for the order. I will say that that size is pretty normal for the biota mandarins from what I've seen. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I test my alk every day with my hanna checker. Every 3 days I check nitrate, calcium, and mag. (Red sea pro, Hanna, and red sea pro respectively) Weekly I check my phosphates with my hanna ulr checker. Ph and temp is constantly monitored through the apex and I have an American marine...

I think you'll be happy with it. I've been using reef octo skimmers for almost a decade now and have had very few complaints. I actually still have my first one I bought back in 2009 and it still runs like a champ. Not quite as efficient as the new dc ones, but a workhorse none the less...

Take all manufacturers skimmer ratings with a grain of salt. That skimmer will be perfect on that sized tank. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I'm riding down today. Don't know if west Milford is any closer for y'all, but I could grab them if you wanted to get them from me. Let me and Mark know if so. Ill be there at 1pm. @jmags080307 @trio91 Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I literally just found this thread. Am I too late to participate? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Added one to my very first tank back in the day. It unintentionally ended up being a species tank because he did not play nicely with others. I got rid of him in that next upgrade. He took down wrasses, gobies, blennies, and even a dwarf angel of all things until I realized he just wasn't going...

Odontanthias fuscipinnis, pretty much the rarest of rare anthias. I had literally never seen one in person since they're several thousand a piece and these were 6 going into the same persons aquarium. They were in quarantine with the like 25 Banded angels (which that number of bandeds was...

Did TSM still have these fellas when you stopped. Blew my mind that they had 6 when I visited! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Not too shabby up here in NW Jersey. A loooooot better than that last one. I think the last one brought down alk the branches that were going to come down. How much snow have y'all got down there? Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

Ugh. I need the 180 done!!!@@ I could definitely use some cap, but the rack is already packed! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

I had a big female black ocellaris in my old tank that would repeatadly bite the fool out of my hand anytime it was in the tank. She knew where to bite to make it hurt, too. Sent from my SM-P905V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I pulled the laminate up from the tank corner of the man cave and moved the 29 today to it's temporary home. It looks sad and lonely away from the wall and in the middle of the room. I also moved the book shelves away from the wall that will host the tank...

Yeah, that will be great! It'll be a few months until things get to fraggin size, though. I ran 400w 10k halides on the old 90 and was clipping stuff weekly. Trying to decide if I'm going a similar route with lighting or if I want to go all Led. I've been running LEDs on the 29 and getting...

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum a little while ago, and thought I would introduce myself and set up for my big build. I'm originally from North Carolina and relocated to New Jersey about 6 years ago to be with my now wife. We did some hopping around north jersey in apartments before we...
