I went from TV drug deal at Raptor's...
'The box is on the porch.'
'OK, I got it, the money is in an envelope in the planter.'
To TV hostage exchange at Madreefer's...
OK, you put the ATO on the table and back away.
I'll put the corals down right here...
Rap,
Frags look great. Everything...
I did this on a previous tank and it worked incredibly well.
Just needed a scraped up piece of plastic mounted in the sump near a light source.

I also did an upflow that I'll look for the links for.
If you're worried about a spike, I wouldn't sweat it.
I've done both bare bottom and sand. I prefer sand, looks nice, give the animals something to play in, etc...
I've always used special grade reef, aragonite based. I put it in a 5g bucket, fill it halfway with tap water, stir the c$%^ out of...
Mushrooms are pretty easy, mild to moderate light and flow, same with most zoanthids (which I'm a huge fan of).

Heya guys,
Carla was bad for a week and needed two days in hospital. Post discharge still feeling chest tightness and going through coughing fits with activity or after nebulizer treatments.
KIds had minimal, if any symptoms. Me, I had a few days of incredible tiredness and anxiety, with mild...
Had the 110SS for a similar sized tank, fantastic skimmer.
