Lawrence it is. :) I like the way you guys think.

Plz keep me in mind if you ever get a large piece you can spare.

Hang in there folks...you're almost there.

Thanks for the kind words Betsy and Larry. I'm looking forward to your tank build.

It takes is about a half hour to do water changes, stir up sand bed, add dosing chemicals, etc. I don't use carbon and gfo anymore since I dose lanthum chloride for phosphates and run the sulfur denitrator for nitrates. Recharging my Kati/Ani resins probably takes the longest (45 minutes), but...

Thanks John. I'm glad the Diatom filter is working for you. There's something to be said for old school equipment.

Hey John...I think we're overdue for a update. ;)

LMK what you got.

Kris....congrats on passing probation. What firehouse are you stationed at? Sorry to hear about the string of bad luck, but knowing you it will be ready for a feature in Advanced Aquarist in no time.

Unfortunately. ..most of those names are MIA.

It moved to the back somewhere.

Yes. 3x250 watt mh in the front and rapid leds in the back.

Welcome back Ian!

Welcome back Juan!

Glad you enjoyed the video. It's almost impossible to get a close up of anything without a fish wanting to get in on the act. :rolleyes:

Thanks C. I got some frags for you too.

The cespitularia is mostly pinkish/lavender. You are more than welcome to any frags. I'm into colorful and easy to keep corals these days. ;) I plan on getting some bellus, watanabe, or Japanese swallow tails in the future.

Thanks for he advice Mario. I've heard only good things about the H&S denitrator. Ed Lum uses it on his heavily stocked fish only tank and highly recommended it. That would be a cespitularia forest not a xenia forest. ;)

Update on the sulfur denitrator. I'm getting a reading of 10 ppm or less. I also increased the drip rate to 4-5 drips per second. I suspect the rapid drop in nitrates is due to the fact there was already existing bacteria in the water from the carbon dosing.

Hey Kris! The tank is always a work in progress. Yes...the sailfin is definitely a "fillet able " size.
