Great new pics. And I hope your new horse arrives happy and healthy.

Definitely great advice.

Wow! Thanks for the advice you guys! I read a thread here about coral dipping which touched on the Bayer thing. I'll have to give it a try. I don't mind the idea of dosing, but don't think my light is good enough for SPS. I like the look of mushrooms, but I read (maybe here) that they tend to...

With regards to fish, I guess I'm a little freaked out because a very informative employee at my LFS, who used to have a 300g (mostly fish with some coral) told me that he doesn't think he ever lost a fish to old age. If he can't keep them from dying too soon, what chance do I have. KWIM? It is...

Thanks! That's a relief.

Really nice!

As of today my DT has been cycling for 7 weeks. My ammonia and nitrites have been at zero for a long time. Nitrates are still kind of high (20), and I'm working on getting my phosphates down (0.08 today). I have a QT up and ready to be used. I've been told that now would be a good time to add a...

... But I also have a .06 phosphate reading in my QT, as well as this ugly green growth on my FAKE rock. WTH?

I've been running my BRS reactor for less than 48 hours and I'm happy to say, it's already working. I checked my phosphates the day before setting up the reactor and got a .17 reading, but today it's at .08. YAY!

Thanks for sharing your pic. And you're right, I don't think I will ever have enough space.

Maybe I should try masking tale.

It's a great point. I do need to move the RA head unit to a more visible spot. Also, I bet if I moved the relay box to the outside back wall of the stand, the cables would be less of an issue. I actually do have them all labeled, but need a different labeling method. My current labels are...

If they're not full yet, I'll take one of the morning setup slots.

Looking good.

Glad you like the clingy stuff. It takes a bit to get the bubbles out, but well worth it. Love your new additions" and your tank looks gorgeous.

Jak-Jak is a beauty! And so is that silicone job!

It has been forever since I've updated my journal, but I haven't been idle. I set up a small 10g quarantine tank. All I'm waiting for to finish that up is a nano Hydor power head. The QT has been filled with water and running a filter for a couple of weeks, but I didn't seed it with anything. A...

I got a Hannah phosphate checker today and found out that I definitely have phosphates. My reading today was 0.27. That's high, right? I'll do a water change this week.

Is may tank ready for the trochus? My ammonia and nitrites are at zero, and nitrates at 20. Phosphate seems to be at zero also.

All of the fuzzy stuff, and the encrusted red and pink (coraline?) is only on the live rock that I bought at my LFS (bought one small piece to seed my tank). I see none of that on my "dry rock" yet. The only thing on my dry rock is the brown coloration (diatom I guess).
