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...

That is how I ran my old tank, and my new one too. Everything was super happy, including my sps. I never could do well with millies though. P04 got up over .8 and nitrates over 80. Same answer. Softies and lps like really nigh nutrients, and some sps can do really well with them. NPS need...

You mean I am supposed to test my nutrients? I guess I could tone down my lanthanum chloride and vodka while I dose those to make it a real experiment. I was just doing it because it seemed fun to grow more stuff in a controlled manner, and maybe I give some away to local reefers here to build...

I was back in the bay for a couple of days and got to see where these tanks are. I don't know what they have been doing, but the glass looked really clean on both tanks, and the fish looked happy. If anyone has some leathers they want to get rid of, I am sure the restaurant would trade them...

I got to borrow a par meter and checked some top and bottom numbers. Close to 200 at the bottom and 400 near the top of the rocks. I'm pretty happy with those numbers. I think 10x of the kessil 360's are good. No need for more, yet. Also, after the week of Ciprofloxacin in tank and then an...

Probably switched the labels, lol

They all like nutrient rich waters imo. Hardy ones are soft leathers, most zoas, duncans, hammers etc.

Yeah, I feel like this is 5 years old

This is where I really like the trident and the dos which I can control from my phone. I check in every 3 days while I am gone and adjust as necessary.

Videos are easiest to upload to youtube and then post a link here. Humble fish has the best fish disease experts and resources.

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".
