I have had a hard time getting one to thrive from the store here, but might be worth a try in a different tank to get it strong, then put it in the 300.

I added a tunze ato, small jebao wavermaker, orbit bar light (temporary until I get my extra ap700 installed), heater + inkbird hooked up and got the pump/valve tuned to be much quieter. I am planning on adding a screen top from Jumpguard, an eheim autofeeder and a 2 little fishes feeding ring...

In preparation for a nem shipment from @derek_SR , I swapped the AI 45 light out with a Kessil 360x. The AI 45 only put out a max of 100 par at the surface and the Kessil is much stronger. I am a fan of the reflectors to keep the light pointed down and not into my eyes. Debating on moving...

I don't, just listen to me. :cool:

I got mine from Nathan shipped out here.

Just listened to this, interesting to learn about the migration of copepods from the depths up and down, and coral spawning is mentioned.

Tempting, add a couple of your easiest sps frags (monti, Stylo etc) and I'll cover shipping! I still think I should add some of the rock from my 300 sump for speed of cycle reasons, but I like the idea of more bacterial variants in the tanks.

I'm getting live rock from my 300 sump to kick the biome. I just finished up the antibiotics in it so it's probably weird, but I still think it's the fastest way to get the new tank running. I swear I said this above ;), lol. I knew you would understand me.

Hey Bar, My office wasn't full so I got a used 120 Viso tank that is 4' x 2' x 2' with a center rear overflow. I just got it plumbed up yesterday with some local help and am going to fill it tomorrow. I got some huge pukani rocks from a new local reefer who picked up even more for his build...

I am pretty sure you should just get the booster pump and the auto flow restrictor below. Check out the chart below for the "water saver" configuration. Copy my setup below. https://www.saltwateraquarium.com/1-4-aquatec-8800-rodi-booster-pump-kit/?searchid=7495595&search_query=booster+pump...

I remember it just not being as good a quality vodka and might have other stuff in it.

Because @derek_SR can't sit still and likes messing with things.

Get two of the same buckets, and a scale. Measure the low bucket when the other one fills up. Usually the higher # is the waste, not the product water.

Corals definitely eat foods that fit in their mouth too, so I wouldn't say that is the only way to get nutrients. Or do you mean used up after acquiring the nutrients? Maybe, I don't know coral physiology well enough there.

I forget which podcast, but they said to use any vodka that didn't come in a plastic bottle. $15 for a handle sounds like plastic bottle prices! TJ's is $10 for a glass 1/5th, and I got the glass dosing container for free with it. Yeah, all of the radiologists I know (3 of them) hate small...

25 mL/day right now. I might increase it to combat the nitrates some more. I might also just start the Purple non-sulfuric bacteria instead and see what it all does together. I am pretty sure this is from my heavy antibiotic use and not from the vodka as I have been using vodka forever and...

I did find that millie's didn't like high nutrients, so everything but those.

Explaining to the checkout person at Trader Joes that the two vodka fifths I am getting are for my reef tank and I am not an alcoholic, because my wife did all the shopping there two days ago and I wasn't getting anything else. The checker behind him had heard of carbon dosing before, so I had...
