Great color contrast and coral placement. It's definitely glowing.

It worked $50 for 200 gal box.

That would be awesome, thanks. Can you dm it. I can give it a shot.

I assume you mean these things? I've actually heard good things about them on several utube videos. Crazy enough the 210 doesn't have any frag racks on the glass. This is a fist time for one of my tanks lol. I wouldn't be opposed to trying one out over the current ones I have in use. With...

Sweet will have to see if it works with reef crystals I wasn't able to get the other extra $20,off immediately. Yet seems I should get some E gift card with free shipping at somepoint. I also had to use daughters email, cause it wouldn't work with my own chewy account for the gift card thing.

Water changes haven't been enough. I do 10gallons evey week. So far I've been doing mag once monthly as you mentioned. I'm not implying I'm crazy concerned here. Just fine tuning things a bit to optimize things overall.

This 50gallon lowboy has officially been retired. Im 25 lagoon has replaced it. Likely mushroom/ low effort coral, grow out and maybe a place to store the leathers I will likely frag. It was started with rocks from the frag tanks sump and a few left over corals from the frag tank break...

I have a rock you can have from @Darkxerox dad's tank that's was running for 27years if I remembercorrectly. Covered in yellow sponges. Would be the best media you can start a tank with. I can with 99% assurance say that Vermatids are the only possible pest. I broke down my frag system today...

If he passes I would be intrested.

I don't with that specific brand. But I have the red sea nano roller. Seeing your post caused me to do a google search comparison between the two. Based on my experiences with the red sea one. I would be willing to give the im one a shot Seeing they are supposedly pretty comparable in most...

I mainly use things like this in the 210. I leave them on the plug. What occasionally gets loose is a hammer coral. I just grab with tongs and put them back. I've never glued a torch or hammer to a rock structure. The big snails occasionally climb one of the hammers and toppled it. Beyond that...

How much mag In 5gallon ato reservoir. I Never thought of that. I saw people did it with kalk but videos has me scared of kalk. From the videos many sware by it, while others have bad stories. So makes me to nervous too fool with it.

I've done one icp test before. I have two test on stand by. Just haven't sent another one in since a the first one a couple months back. Probably over due for one. Before I had problems getting certain colors to show on acros. After using the drops of traces that problem has gone away. So...

No fish until zero ammonia it's highly toxic to them even low doses. @Coral Hub (Nathan) sells some pns bacteria that could help. We also have some members with bio bricks soaking to help seed aquariums. There is a dbtc for requesting them.

So in that case I should likely slowly increase the afr dose to make things hold more steady? I only haven't done it yet from worrying about the higher calc
