Wow that looks amazing. Is that a rock flower nem bottom right of the pic?

Hey Ian, yes, the light is plenty strong. Made the beginner mistake and put it on 60% intensity right when I put it on, some of my corals didn't like that. =[ But all the corals are growing nicely to it especially my birds of paradise birdsnest

Yup, I'm going to be transferring everything over. I'm going to aquascape a very simple design with the new reef saver rocks. I've used those rocks plenty of times before and never had it leach on me. Then I'm going to transfer my rocks and sand over and do the final aquascape. The sand...

I finally got a new opportunity to share one of my tank builds! I recently started salt water reefing again earlier this year with a 12 gallon from @Enderturtle. Sadly, I was quite lazy to start a while build log for it. Its been less than 4 months and I'm already upgrading :rolleyes: While...

I think some people use mouse pads

I used bio-spira for both my old tank and current tank. In both cases I used base rock and live sand (bagged) for a complete clean start. All equipment was soaked in vinegar for at least 6 hours. During the entire cycling process including when I dumped a dead shrimp (which you can get from a...

I used the dead shrimp method. After it looked like it was about to dissolve, I removed it and put in bio-spira. Took about couple more days and all my ammonia, nitrate, nitrite was 0. Put in a pair of clowns the next day and they live til this day with no heavy breathing or any side effects.

Hey, Welcome to BAR haha

I'm keeping at mixed reef at the moment. Got few frags of everything. From zoas, to acans, to monti caps, birdsnest and even a gorgonian

What a cool fish. Only thing painted in my old tank was a sandstorm by my goby :(

In my old tank, I had a AC70 refugium which used a submersible light. Only cost like 10-15 bucks and it grew chaeto like crazy. It was on reverse lighting and only 10w so not that much

Good luck to all!

Great upgrade for anyone with smaller tank too! Mario a great guy, not sure why no one is interested..

Wow! amazing pictures

@aqua-nut I'm pretty sure it wasnt ground down. My tank was only a 10 gallon so I didnt use as much carbon or gfo as those people with bigger tanks. When I replace gfo and carbon I would look at it and see the carbon still has that tubular shape to it.

Maybe its the way the carbon is packed in. When I was running carbon and GFO on my phosban 150, I had foam > gfo/carbon mixed > open space to tumble > foam on top. I never had an issue with carbon breaking up into tiny particles into my tank. Carbon I used is the BRS Premium Rox and GFO was...

Thanks mario again! Time for upgrade!:p

Oh man I never knew that about corals

I can take the tanks and stands as my friend can help with the pickup :D No door is no problem. Easier access anyways

I'll take the cubes if it can just be tank only :D No room to fit the stands though..
