If your tank is healthy, they’ll take over. One of my friends/mentors up in Boston uses them as a form of nutrient export instead of cheato or other macro algae’s in a refugium. I’ve adopted this too and it’s been working great over the past year. Tank is looking great!

Alright, here's another update for you all: I found a few importers who are willing to help me get the corals I need for spawning. I've never imported and acclimated wild colonies to captivity before so I put an order in the size of what I was thinking of ordering when I am ready to spawn...

I’ll be going if anyone wants to meet up!

Haven't updated this thread in a while but this is what I've been up to since October (big new projects): The new project is the start of my journey into coral spawning, focused on Acropora millepora and Euphyllia species. The goal is to build a small-scale, modular spawning system that will...

I'd go with manual removal, turn the lights off for a couple of weeks since you have no corals and then slowly ramp them up again. You can always regrow coralline and it is much more resilient than people give it credit for.

DM'd

My wife's condition for letting me set up the euphyllia tank was if I could get it in the basement with no help. Guess what I did while she was at work yesterday? Decided on a scape and cemented it together this morning. I'll be throwing rubble from my display in the sump and getting it running...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Completely agree, I’m glad that I finally have reached some level of system maturity where I’m comfortable adding more SPS again. If anyone is selling good sized frag/mini colony packs I’m in the market! I’m getting back into breeding the shrimp slowly, I have some survivors from when I moved...

After nearly 3 months of patiently waiting and monitoring the system, the surviving corals are starting to encrust and/or show axial growth as well as color up from bleached or brown to showing their true colors again. I have developed a hair algae problem in the frag runner, refugium and under...

Moved my sump today, couldn’t access the whole container for maintenance how I set it up initially. Changed out my 2x Vectra L2 returns for a VarioS 10. Haven’t bracketed the pipes down yet but it’s not leaking and look! I made room for a biocube

I bought a waterbox infinia frag 125.4 and loved the quality of the entire set up. My only complaint with waterbox is that the stand doesn't ever seem to have room for any extra equipment and the Waterbox Infinia Reef 230.6 seems to have the same problem based on the website

Looking good Kevin, sorry again about the Hydros. Have you thought of a small foxface for the bubble algae? my one spot got rid of every bit of it that was within reach. I have flatworms all over my refugium but they have never made it or survived in my display. I have a mccosker wrasse and a...

I posted a thread with a bunch for sale that looks like you may be interested in, I have vectra l2 return pumps, a new alkatronic and other misc equipment that might fit your bill. I think I have an old RODI system somewhere too
