Yeah, I do think I have enough lights, now. One row wasn't enough for the 32" of width though. And to everyone worried about my safety, I've only had a couple times the ladder moved on me. And then yesterday I got this from Target.

It kills bristle worms too, so there can be a lot of dying animals. Big reason why water changes and carbon is so important to using flat worm exit. That's quite the infestation. The right wrasse would help but I have mixed feelings. I like the biological solutions, but oh man is that a lot of...

No experience with it, but you need a cable to plug the light into the apex. SWA Link I just ordered it and can let you know how it goes.

@RandyC No! The guy helping empty it knocked that off, I wasn't in the state when it happened. I left a perfect tank! Well, a dirty one that needed crushed coral taken out, and some water in it, which led to the panel being knocked off from someone else. I.e. not me!

I've added a few leathers and a gorgonian, but here is my favorite picture of the tank I have so far. Madeleine absolutely loves running to my office, climbing my ladder, and pointing at different things going "huh?" She will learn so much marine biology before preschool.

I would need to be 8' tall to maintain this tank without a ladder. The top of it is 6'6". 4' stand and 30" tall tank. I can look up at the fish swimming while standing up and I am just over 6'1".

Good thing the tank is 3/4" glass and can support a lot of weight for when I do slip or the ladder starts to move forward, haha.

Just do this if you are short!

Here is a video from a feeding today.

Tank has been doing stuff. I have enough coral that it doesn't look empty, but definitely isn't full. The acantho and the mushroom leather have been doing great. While I was cleaning, I knocked one of the blue fromia starfish into the haddoni carpet. I very quickly pulled the starfish...

I like the sweet spot of letting it change enough to make a difference, but not so much it can crash.

Gallon plus sized dosing containers, and mixing a gallon at a time of 2 part is fast. You are just wanting to change it up, I know.

Soda Ash Calcium Chloride BRS has it for only slightly more for the 5 gallon buckets. I have a hard time thinking this is more expensive than switching to a calcium reactor. And yeah, never pull with a pump. There was an engineering problem we solved in college that was effectively how high...

Was my thought when posting this, I bet he could reach out to them and try some given his experience and success with spawning. @Thales , have you heard of this? Does it seem like it could be of help for your spawning?

Cool prospects to help coral breeding out of my alma matter https://scripps.ucsd.edu/news/new-gel-could-boost-coral-reef-restoration?fbclid=IwY2xjawKR34BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHuj7NFnLCwmnpOeZ1zw0ih_MtD4LzQrWew2ps0mpA-6A-jyswzP-D6u1hq49_aem_rWIF2kc7orZ9g9ZdrAYKTA

I learned this week that Gattaca is spelled with only letters from our dna, ATCG. Agree, eurobracing is great. Not only structural, but also functional.

I was going to type something out about bone lengthening, but then thought, no, that's too silly to bring up. I should know our senses of humor overlap a lot. And yes, I saw a video on a guy who added 4" to his legs and it was a multi year painful process.

I never fed live foods in my old system and got my sun polyps to spawn, so no you don't need live foods. I would occasionally add phyto, but not regularly.
