Taps Plastics. Have them cut the pieces and build your own?

Loose tube leading to the false reading.

Fitting, considering that someone is on the lookout for HOTO and the OG PM. ;)

4. Possibly 5 to be on the ultra safe side. I have a couple of decent size suction cups if you need them/assistance.

Cyanobacteria. In regards to pincushion and tuxedo, they're different, although similar in looks. The one that you have is tuxedo, which is most preferable, imo.

1+ hours in diluted vinegar bath and she was good to go. Cute little bugger. I have it set to skim dry (bubbles at the beginning of the neck), but it still pulled out some stuff, as if it were set to wet skim. After pulling it out it settled down. Bubble head seems to be stable now. In...

Either bring your nitrates up or drop your alk as Mike mentioned. With those low nitrate levels you can even go below 7s into the 6s.

Start lower on the PAR readings - the 120ish is fine on the sandbed (less in shade obviously). For SPS, shoot for ~250-350 on the average and watch out for hotspots depending on which LEDs you're running (that's if you run LEDs). It's better to start out with less light and then bumping it up...

I think that it really depends on the species in general. Some of them are more pelagic by nature and cover vast distances while grazing (relative to say damsels/dwarf angels which occupy meters of space instead). With that said, I wouldn't even consider anything other than the smaller...

That's it!

Will do. Neptune has some nice frags for sure that goes through their tanks. I've been contemplating about having the tank be fully filled with wild/maricultured frags versus named pieces. I'm familiar with many of the named sps out there and I've seen variations of them come in.

Try to separate out the Mohawks from the pink diamonds. The mohawks are very fast and invasive growers so I wouldn't keep them near any of your primary rockwork, unless you want them to encrust over everything.

Most likely won't be picking them up after spitting them out and they'll be consumed by the biological cycle (something will eventually consume them). You can purchase egg tumblers, but probably not worth it. Just wait for the next batch instead.

Are you going with no wrasses that sleep in the sandbed for the upgrade? If not, then perhaps consider upgrading the size of the sand container that you're gonna use for them to accommodate for the inverts.

Rich (Thales) did a great talk many years ago in regards to chain of contact (?) in regards to this a long time ago iirc. It discussed the mortality rates as it applied to how many hands that the livestock went through. It was very enlightening at the time to the point that's still memorable to...

:p They had 3 small ones that looked rather filled out. The smallest one was skimming the water column after the food went into the tank, but didn't eat any of it. If it even took a bite I would have walked out with it. Still plenty of reserves on them but don't feel like harvesting eggs from...

Thanks! I'll let you know if I'm in need of anything.

Ordered the Icecap K1 nano skimmer and will be testing that out once it arrives. Also took a Marinepure 8x8x4 block (unused block that I had stashed away) and cut it down to 3x3x8 and stuck it in the first chamber. Decided to set up the CaRx instead of doing the 2-part. Still have a couple of...

Nope, I just happened to be in the store at the same time while you were looking at the hippos. Got Heather to feed some frozen mysis/brine to the tank with the purple queen anthias.

More bang for your buck for the footprint size.
