Saterday or Sunday. Let me know when you need me. I’ll be happy to go either day.

I’ll volunteer.

Here are the pix. The candy canes/ trumpet aren’t doing great. I just moved them down. I think they were in too direct flow/light. Hopefully they will do better. The CH 53 helicopter is parked at my work, for fleet week. It’s pretty cool, so I added a pic of that, with my son Chase.

Picked up a few corals from Ocean Image Aquatics yesterday. He has nice stuff there. 1 Lobophyllia, 3 chalice frags, and a candy cane frag. Everything looks good so far.

Yea. I tried it. Kept sucking up my sand. Tried to pinch off the hose to control it. It didn’t really work that well. I was concentrating so much on that that I started missing the bucket with the water and making a mess. I think I’ll skip vacuuming the sand from now on.

Yea. I totally blast out the rock with a Baster. The pistols are paired? That’s pretty cool.

So far the 5 replied they don’t and 3 do.

I have a pistol shrimp too. It works the left side of my tank. The little bit of cyano is on the right side share the shrimp doesn’t go.

I don’t figure it will hurt anything. I have a few spots of cyano in the low flow spots( normal stuff for new tank) that I need to vacuum out of the sand anyway.

Yea that’s what I figured.

I my sand bed is 1.5” on average. My goal would be to reduce the long term accumulation of waist in the sand bed. My sand bed is a little over a month old.

I need sand for the gobies that I keep, so not going bare. I think I’ll vacuum a little here and there when I do water changes. I’ll try not to stir it up too much at once.

Yea. When I took down my old tank, there was an unbelievable amount of dirt in there.

Yea. I didn’t either on my last tank, but I just started this tank. I’m leaning towards doing it on my futures water changes.

Good day all. I know people differ In opinions about this. I currently do water changes from my sump and leave my sand bed alone. I’m trying to figure out weather if not to start vacuuming the sand, or leave it alone for my CUC to take care of.

That’s a quality refractometer. That should be good. Just throwing it out there cause it happened to me. I had one a hydrometer at the time. Ever since I get the refract, it’s been reliable.

What are you checking your salinity with. Has the instrument been calibrated recently? If not, have it double checked by lfs. If your salinity is high, that would explained the high concentration of DKH.

When I took down my old tank, I found a few frag disc that got dragged under the rocks by the pistol shrimp. I put them up in the light in my new tank to see what happens. Not expecting much, theyd been buried for months or years. So far I have seen small zoa head on 1 disc, and most...

The hard part would be carefully removing the old silicone. A plastic or acrylic scraper, so you don’t scratch the glass. I wouldn’t just fix the leaky spots. Do it all. Then masking tape It all nice an neat. Apply 100% pure silicone. It doesn’t have to be for a fish tank, just make sure it’s...

Yea. There mostly small bodied fish, except the clowns. I’m about we’re I want to be with fish/bioload. I will, ease up on the water changes when I get my nitrates down. There was a tiny bit of skimmate in the cup this morning. It must have done a little something overnight.
