Was just a suggestion for the future

Its been really cool watching this project from start until now!

And a tip for the future, you can use your existing sand/rock to start another tank now, but if you wanted to start completely from scratch, I like to get the API regular saltwater kit, since it can test for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate, and dose pure ammonia without any additives to an inhabit-less...

Hey, welcome to the club! Just finished up reading your tank journal. I feel like you rushed things a bit too fast possibly, you cycled the tank, which is good, and used live rock and live sand, which is really good, but you said after adding inhabitants, that you were reading nitrite on your...

Had no Idea how easy they are to culture! I’ll have to give it a shot

Pulled out 2 and a half softball sized amounts of GHA yesterday lmao. Phosphates down to .37 last night, probably lower today. Couple trochus died the other day after I changed my aluminum oxide, not sure if it was the aluminum, swing in phosphate, or swing of something else pulled by the...

Just throwing a suggestion out here, my dad has a good chunk of land in the brentwood area, good amount of dirt parking, large concrete patio, the event would be held outside. Would need to bring chairs/tables, my brother has a sound system we could use. I dont think he would mind, especially...

Been a while since I updated! Bought a couple frag racks to have some nice consistent space for frags. My royal gramma just disappeared one day which sucked, pretty sure it died because I started to get a ton of algae growth, assuming from the immediate boost in nitrates combined with my...

Have fun everyone! I’ve been wrecked all week by the flu that is going around. Was hoping to be better by now, but I’m not, and dont want to get anyone else sick

Yeah its doing well now. Self fragging lol

Been a bit busy lately. Did a nice >20% water change, got my phosphates down to 1.88, tossed in some aluminum oxide, down to 1.64 now. Trying to not bring it down too fast. Everything is still doing well. Also slowly tweaked my lighting higher, hard to find a balance since my tank is so deep...

I’m not 100% sure, I think this was it, tissue recession has stopped

Just an update, think I had this shroom in too high of par, I noticed it started to disintegrate in the center, moved it into a bit of shade, it recovered and split into 4 pieces, the largest piece is almost as big as the original now.

Thank you! Just have to find some takers for my DBTC to qualify first lol

Still waiting for mine to split, it’s huge!

I “cured” the rock in tank for a month, before adding anything, and did a fairly large water change towards the end, but that was it. Completely agree

I dont use anything weird like that, I think the high phos is from old, used rock that I bought 2nd hand, as well as old sand that I used from the previous tank owner. Spent a few hours rinsing the sand out in small batches to get the water to run clear lol. The water came out very dark for...

Think if I correct the flow quick enough the STN will stop?

Little update, got the par meter from darkxerox at the miniswap/Rich Ross seminar the other day, still have to check my PAR, but I noticed I’m having some issues with my acro that I got from the free table at the oct swap. I never really planned on having acros in this tank, but it was on the...
