No not this time. It was a last minute impulse buy. Winter is coming so I will have a lot time to play with my tanks.
I've always used revive. ol skool but it works.
I wouldn’t trust using the homedepot pesticides. I rather use stuff that I know is reef safe
My wife asked me how do you keep track of all your frags?
How do you know all the names.
I personally use this App
“Aquarimate” it allows you to add live stock fish and corals. It has a huge data base so you can also use it to look stuff up.
You can also log all your test results.

So I decided to run more of a full spectrum during the day for a few hours.
The tank is less blue but it gives me full use of my lights.
I never like running heavy blue lights on any of my tanks. That doesn’t look natural to me. Every reef that I have personally seen had full spectrum light. Any time I snorkeled I have never seen blue light.
That’s the reason why I like the kessil lights I am able to run my whites and blues high during the day. I also am able to add red and green and run everything for 11-4pm every day. At night I go back to blue lights only.
The way I see it if I am paying for these lights I will use every single one of the LEDs it makes no senses to run just 1/2 the lights and just run blues all the time.

Looking awesome amado
So today I started cleaning out the garage and making room. I took this rubber maid stock tank out. I used it for my move. I put all my live stock in there while I tore down my old tank.
I am trying to figure out how to add it to my current system. It’s like a 100 gallons of water. So I am thinking of using it as one of the following :
1)holding vessel for a lot of my live rock.
2) I could also use it as a huge refugium.
3) I could even use it as a grow out tank for larger colonies.
4) use as a sump for a 2nd system.
5) sell it and clear up space lol
If I decide to add to the system I have to figure out what’s the best way to setup this beast.

fill it with rock
Yeah I think that’s the best use for it at the moment.
So I was able to make two 50 gallon tubs of salt water. I took some rocks out of the system and sump and put it in this rubber maid tub. I also have two 5 gallon buckets of ocean rock.
I added 50 gallon of salt water to the rubber maid bin from the system.
I then had to replace the the 50 gallon of water with a new batch of water.
I also had to replace the rock volume I removed with freshly made salt water.
I mixed like 100 gallons of fresh salt water. I am lucky I got a good deal on salt.
I will build a stand around the bin and add it to the system.

Looks good and I like the double wash sink that is what I need to install in my basement
Yeah I got it from Amazon it was very cheap. I was going to do stainless steel but because of the salt water I decided to go with plastic.
I made a last minute fish run to Salgado on Tuesday night. They had a flash sale and I was able to pick up a few fish cheap.
Nothing special just some wrasses and tangs. If you haven’t had the chance to go and support this brother you should make the trip. It’s a small store but his stock and prices are amazing.

In that tank since it will be filled with anemones it’s not a good idea to add any other fish. I read that pajama Cardinal are not effected by anenome stings so I may add a few. I will add snails and anemone crabs
