Thanks! The sump is a mess, but I just don't see the need to spend hours scrubbing it when no one really sees it. It has lots of fun coralline, macro algae, breeding limpets, and pineapple sponges :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you! Yeah I thought it was cool with their reflections on the surface of the water :)

Well I definitely don't know everything, but I've learned my lessons and made my mistakes over my last 4.5 years in the reef hobby. I've really tried to plan a ton and think through everything with this system. I'm sure your tank will look wonderful. Just takes lots of patience, research, and...

I'd keep in mind that you also should be testing phosphates and nitrates. If your tank is fully cycled, it should never have detectable nitrite or ammonia. Phosphate and nitrate are what indicate excess nutrients in a cycled tank. Also, for SPS you have to keep all parameters stable. The...

The tang I have now can get up to about 6-7" I believe. I will definitely need to upgrade the tank for her as well, and since I was already planning to eventually upgrade, that's why I was comfortable getting her. She's a bristletooth tang, which as a group need less swimming space than the...

You're definitely right. The snowflake will eventually outgrow this tank, but I've always just been planning to upgrade for him when needed. I'm way too attached to him to get rid of him just because he gets too big. I'm planning to probably start an upgrade towards the end of this year...

Thank you! Yes, its a 40 breeder with a 20 long for a sump.

Thank you! Honestly, most days I do nothing with the tank. I just do a nice big cleaning once a week, which includes the water change, glass scrubbing, general clean up in the tank, replacing the filter sock, cleaning the skimmer cup, wiping up salt creep, etc. It takes me about 2 hours to do...

Thank you! All of these were taken with my iPhone 6s :) The clownfish are definitely small enough that the lionfish could eat them, so I knew it was a risk when I decided to keep them when I added the lions. However, I was hoping that their anemones would protect them, and it seems that I...

Ok, now its time for some photos of the fish! First off, the clownfish. IMG_2325 by Felicia Svedlund, on Flickr IMG_2552 by Felicia Svedlund, on Flickr IMG_2537 by Felicia Svedlund, on Flickr And finally a halfway decent photo of the tomini tang! She's always moving too much IMG_2429 by...

Ok, so I had a ton of photos that I took with the video clips for the Marine Depot video and a bunch of them didn't get used, so I figured I'd share some of those! Fun angled FTS from March 12, 2016 IMG_2630 by Felicia Svedlund, on Flickr Left side IMG_2335 by Felicia Svedlund, on Flickr...

For anyone who doesn't get the Marine Depot Newsletter.... It featured my tank last week! Here's the email that went out: Link to the online version of the email. And then here's the video they put together from clips that I provided them. I think they did a great job! And finally...

Definitely! I'm super busy trying to finish writing my dissertation right now, so it's nice that this tank is just on autopilot doing so well! Means I can focus on finishing up instead of worrying about the tank. I'm just happy they're both going so well! :) Thank you!!! Haha, yeah I'll have to...

Oh yes! Those too! I'm impressed you had all 6 species that are available in the hobby. I haven't seen a gigas for sale in a while though. Also now there are the hybrids too! Maybe too many clams haha!

Thank you! I ended up ordering the yellow fiji leather from Vivid Aquariums since I couldn't locate one locally. I was really happy with that shipment, and the nice thing is that Vivid now has $15 shipping in the state of Ca. The clams are growing like crazy! I wish I could have more, but I...

I have fed the corals with Coral Frenzy and BRS Reef Chili sporadically in the past, but not with any consistency or very often. Honestly, I mostly don't feed because I'm lazy. I see good growth without feeding, so there isn't much motivation to feed. Also, the whole point with this system...
