@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.

I think that SCA tank is perfect for you. You will love it! Just need to find/build a stand

Get long tweezers, a step ladder, and take your shirt off and grab some goggles/mask for deep maintenance. Get the tall tank. I have a 30" tall tank on a 4' stand and love it. I shouldn't, but I do stand on the handle as a tall step to get deep in my tank. Some balance required, lol. Long...

Food type, everything and lots of it. Frozen, flake, pellet, powdered coral foods and no worries on phosphates, just have enough coral coverage and herbivores. In his words "Feed everything with a mouth" which includes corals, pods and fish. Don't worry about additives, but some amino acids...
