I have a Red Sea dosing pump that breaks my daily dose into a number of little doses throughout the day. I run the dosing line from a glass bottle into my skimmer neck running through a hole in the skimmer lid to keep it in place. The glass bottle is full of Phosban-L which I dilute down with...

What is all this freaking out over phosphate? It is not bad to be high and the numbers I am seeing are very reasonable. Thumb through my old journal from when I was in the bay and you will see some real phosphate, and a beautiful tank. Don't change rocks over phosphate. That is silly, put...

I haven't noticed it specifically but I'll look for it

Doing fine, nothing to report on that tank

This tank just chugs along doing great with very little intervention.

I don't know if I have posted this recently, but here is my office with all of the aquariums. 120 Leather tank, 120 Fresh Planted tank with living wall (needs some irrigation tuning), 45 Cube Magnifica Nem Tank, and my 300 display 20 Fresh, 35 AIO Mushroom and Bubble Tip Clown Tank

Are these baby fuzzy chitons? I don't know what else would be a mollusk with such an elongated foot. I added a bunch of these guys a while ago.

Some full tank shots. The fish and gorgonian colonies are doing great. Everything else, needs work. This leather's stalk is calf sized

IMO, you won't get one big enough that won't get eaten by the tang. Many people grow the algae in the sump and add it to the tank when they want to thin out the sump growth. Good luck none the less!

Pink/orange guy with spikes? Bristle worm. You will get them, they eat detritus. If you touch it, it will leave clear spikes in your finger. Use tape to pull the spikes out from your finger.

Welcome back to the lower stress side of reefing! It looks great from here.

Boiled, steamed or raw?

That's why I started running cuprisorb in all my tanks, I (theoretically) get the visual indication from the bag if any metals get absorbed.

He said the "fro" made it silent, I was thinking it needed damping and a spring somewhere partway through.

Most softies are fine with most fish, so you could always run a softie dominant tank like my 120 Sandy bottom reef. I've got an Ornate/Bellus Angelfish in there.

No one is spending $250 on a temp controller (looks at my Ranco controller on my big tank). Okay, most people aren't spending that on a temp controller. 5 Inkbirds, 1 Ranco here.

I am also referring to old Tunze's that Mike gave me.
