I found my blue tang eating zoas too. Luckily no mushrooms and I don't really care to keep zoas in my display. Hope these 2 find a good home!

Only reasons I see to use diffuser is if the light is positioned so that you constantly have direct line of sight to the LEDs, or if you are trying to eliminate the discoball effect. Aside from that there really should be no reason to use a diffuser. One last scenario is specifically for Ai...

Guess some work will be done to the tank today.

Green killing machines work great for temporary use as I've used them in the past for a quick fix. but I've also heard they aren't salt water safe and have metal components inside of them that rust. I have yet to get a chance to open one up to confirm. I've also used the in tank Aqua Top UV...

East Bay @Randy C

You know I'm down! Let me know when you plan on doing East Bay as far ahead of time as possible. We can make my place a last stop and I'll have food and drink ready for ya'll!

I can show you my DIY lids (clear 1/8in screen and window screen frame. I glue tabs on if the tank is rimless so the lid sits into the tank and not on top of the glass.

Welcome! I look forward to seeing your tank and following along your salt water journey.

Sweet you didn't say blue cloves. I'm in! Lol (jk)

I've been thinking about using a Kamoer fx-stp I have laying around to continously dose kalk.

I haven't used geissman bulbs before. But for ATI my go to for a 4 bulb combo is 2 coral plus and 2 blue plus. I ended up picking up a combo of super purple, aqua blue, super actinic. Will definitely run 2 super actinics and most likely 2 aqua blues. May try and place another order if sale is...

My stuff was new open box.

10 is the biggest and pressure rated up to 29ft. The controller is different then the others and is IP2 (splash rated) and it comes with a mount for the power brick. Will try and see if I have time to do an in depth review when I get the pump as there isn't much info online about this pump.

Thanks for posting! Bought a Varios 10 return pump, ice cap nano skimmer, kamoer f4 wifi doser and a 10 pack of T5 bulbs.

Algae scrubber definitely does more for keeping nitrates low vs phos. Even with a huge algae scrubber I need to dose LaCl if I want to keep my phos low to current generally recommended levels.
