It's really hit or miss. At various times, I've had four Centropyge and only one was truly "reef safe", all the others had a taste for something in the tank.

Welcome aboard Mike. I think your coral will be the best barometer of this, if you are seeing good growth and PE, I'd leave them where they are.

SamK is a member of this club, and a science teacher at Hopewell Valley Central High School and has started a tank this past September. So, it's not too far from you. Here's his build: http://www.njreefers.org/showthread.php?76260-Tank-at-The-High-School/page2

Yup, should be here all weekend.

You got it.

Still have some of these pieces and have added the ORA Green Birds Nest. These are more like mini colonies. $30.00 ORA Green Birds Nest. $15.00 Add Purple Bonsai to the trades list. Will entertain other trades not listed.

PM sent.

I removed the BRS reactor I had re-purposed for bio pellets and activated a new RO reactor. The new reactor will allow me to double the amount of pellets, to the recommended amount for my system (3 cups). I can't seem to get my PO4 below .08, and will reactivate the BRS reactor for GFO, after...

Do you know of anyone nearby that has good test kits that you could get a second opinion? With your Mg that low, I'd be surprised if both your Alk and Ca were that high.

What are you using for test kits?

I have a BM NAC 9, with an Atman ph4000 that has a pinwheel.

I've been using my 55 to cure the 50lbs. of Pukani I bought from BRS. I use the water from my DT when I do WC's, and keep it at the same temp, and have a couple of PH's in there too. So, when I finally do install it in the DT, there shouldn't be any real differences.

Both George (TanksNStuff) and Mike (Mike S) have the Bubble Magnus NAC 7 with uses the Atman 2500, and both seem very satisfied with it.

That's a long way from Brigantine.

Price/performance, I think RC's hard to beat.

You shouldn't have to change the pellets, just add to them as they are used up. If they are clumping you need to increase the flow through them, a little like you do for GFO, not too fast, just enough to keep them from clumping up.

Yeah, you can see Bullet in the picture in the background under Trigger. I wonder what he did with Dale? Here's Buttermilk:

Hey! Roy Rogers did it with Trigger.
