There is a dbtc of these too, but if you don't have wrasses, the babies will populate quickly. I was thinking of keeping one of the small tanks wrasse free to try to let them grow out.

I have to change my house air filters every 3 months here with how much dust is in the air. It is insane the buildup that happens without preventative maintenance.

Hey Bar Figured I would add to this thread with my story about debugging "Test B Fail". I moved to Vegas and didn't have my Trident working for close to a year. When I booted it up, I expected to have to flush some lines with RODI. If you look closely, you can find the lines that are the...

It hit 120 F here yesterday. At the house, we got 111F or so. The dry heat thing is real though, been able to keep my tanks under 80 with a couple fans and the AC keeping the house at 77.

Cover it with a cap of epoxy, then put a nice coral over it

I've started adding some schooling fish and a few utility fish. There are about 10 Zebra Barred Dartfish, 15 Blue Green Chromis, a Lavender Tang, an Aiptasia Eating Filefish, two Pajama Cardinal fish, a Blue Cleaner Wrasse and a Lawnmower Blenny.

I have a cart on Biota ready to go. Free shipping over $500! You can always use more inkbirds or temp/ph probes. I guarantee you aren't feeding enough, get more food, auto feeders, coral food, and amino acids. Bulk pharma material is on sale for 25% off, debating on getting new 5 gallon...

The clean and scaped side, ready to grow in! The $^#*#@^&# where did all this $%&#&%^ anubias come from?

Because if it caused a problem faster, you'd see it fast and we know to not do things like shock salinity, alk, temp. No nutrients will take 3-6 months to really bite you, as will pest population explosion What they all said is good. Small tank means one sedentary fish. If you want more...

Ignore the ph. Make sure salinity and temp are good, the rest will follow.

@MichaelB should have some extra crushed coral from my old system. The bricks will "melt" or disintegrate over time, crushed coral doesn't

Another random thought here, does the tank have good oxygen mixing somewhere? I know there was no skimmer, good oxygenation is important to fish health. If you haven't changed salt and know your di water is good, I personally would not worry about the nsw. It is a known good, but I think you...

Feed more and more often

My lfs here had a great deal on emerald crabs for $5, I've never seen them that cheap! You are more than welcome to pick one up next time you come through Vegas. The tank looks great, nice work.

If you have any bubblers, you can put stuff in a 5 gallon bucket and make a temporary tank for whatever is still alive. Go have a beer for lunch, take a 30 minute break, then save what you can and call it a day. Next step is get what's alive in a bigger temp tank than 5 gallon bucket while...

From a quick read of the product page, it appears to market as a way to add trace elements/minerals to the reef tank from mud that collects near other reefs. I am with Derek here and think it likely isn't worth it. That being said, I definitely added the occasional product to help "diversify"...

Flow Right now I have 2 Vectra L2 pumps feeding from their own 1" pvc pipe into a single 1" pvc pipe running about 60% each. This is then split into a random flow generator shooting towards the center of the tank, and a nozzle shooting across the top, away from the overflow. I currently have...

Ammonia has dropped significantly after a week, so I added a bunch of chromis and a few others. That took from June 17th to June 25th to get significant ammonia drop. Benefits to cooking large volumes of rock and crushed coral ahead of time. Also got my Neptune Gro out and hooked it up...

Petco has a sweet deal out here now that is 20% off livestock if you buy a bucket, so now this tank is stocked! Working on the living wall build behind it.
