Two Spot Hogfish Picked up this little guy a couple nights ago from all aquatics. I'm happy to say he is eating well and getting along with everyone.

Not a clue, but thanks for posting. I now have a list of wrasses not to buy..

When you do water changes, what is your exact routine? I like to blast my rocks with a turkey baster. Let the detritus settle and siphon up as much as I can. You have to manually remove the HA. Try to rubberband a toothbrush on the end of your siphon tube for water changes. Scrub the GHA with...

Great set up! Smart on the reinforcement. Next tank, I will certainly go with the bean animal overflow.

Every 2-3 days I dump the collection cup and clean the cup/neck.

It's definitely pulling out skimmate. The bubbles in the neck right under the collection cup are still large though. I talked to Jeremy from coralvue and he said it may take 4-5 weeks to break in and skim at optimum performance. I'm happy with the skimmate it is pulling now.

When I had a cyano outbreak I rubberbanded a toothbrush to the end of my siphon hose.

Siphon it out of the tank. If let go it could spread quickly.

I don't think you can do too many gallons on a water change. Personally I do about 5 gallons a week(about 10%), just enough to siphon up as much detritus as possible.

How old is the tank? What equipment are you running? Skimmers, reactors, etc. What does your maintenance routine look like? If your NO3 and PO4 tests show undetectable, it's because they are bound up in the algae.

Maybe because I'm new here and this is my first time I'll be going to a meeting and participating in the PA group buy, but I'm really pumped up! I wish I would have found this place sooner.

Awesome. You are very helpful sir.
