The 1st pic is some kind of red polyp with an orange center. It "flows" like GSP

So my urchin decided to redecorate my tank...by plowing stuff over. In the piC above, you can see where my rusty gorgonian was

Here is my updated tank shot, I now have a huge gap on top

I also placed some mangroves in my display, they are starting to root out

looking great...keep up with the good work. I'm jealous of the extra space it the water column for some fish... Mine mostly hide

 

[Trio91]

These fish are always out n about, always looking for food n what not. It's just around this time that are really asleep

Tank is looking good Marcus, good job!!!

So after emptying out my frag tank, I had a few inverts I had to rehouse inot my main DT. A snail, serpent star, and an emerald crab.

Ive never had emerald crabs in my DT before and this one has made a permanent home inside of my giant leather coral. He leaves for food but goes back in the everyday

I also dropped n fragged my big chalice again....just moved the piece to a lower rock on the right

Aquaforest Salt...

So today will be the 1st that I'm going to start using Aquaforest Reef Salt. I gotta sweet deal of $40 for a 200gal mix box right before holidays through BRS.

When mixing IORC, my measurements were 1/2 cup per gal to give me about 1.025-1.026. With aquaforest after contacting customer service, the measurement will be about 2.6 cups for a 4gal salt mix.

I measured 2.5 cups of salt mix then added a tad extra and from there I'm going to test and see what it gives me. The batch (as per AF) should be ready in about 15min so from there I'll be doing my weekly water change. Will keep folks posted

Good idea Marcus.

I’ve been thinking about switching saltmix too, I’m currently using IO.

The price in IO jumped up by about 20-22 dollars so that was the deal breaker for me

Did you get the probiotic or the reef salt

 

[Trio91]

Did you get the probiotic or the reef salt

just the reef salt, i didn't wanna go full AF yet and im not much into dosing either

 

[Trio91]

So, test the salinity on the fresh AF and I'm glad I did.....the salinity as per their instructions, rang up at a lil over 1.031 on my refractometer!

So I basically added another gal on fresh RO, tested and it was about 1.026. Hopefully the other parameters stay in line but we will see
