    Earl's 55g mixed reef

    ATS progress My ATS has been up and running for about three weeks now. I am starting to grow some GHA on the screen. I'm happy to report that the brown film algae that was growing on my overflow has all but disappeared. My NO3 has gone from 20-25ppm to 5-10ppm(Salifert) since installing the...

    I'd like to see Peyton get another as well. Although I wouldn't mind one of these rookies getting one either. I'm a football fan but I might pass on KC vs. Cleveland... E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!!

    Yellow Tang

    I agree with all of the above. One tang will be enough. I've had a yellow tang in my 55 for about two years and she seems happy to me. Kole would be a nice choice too.

    Battling LHA

    I wouldn't worry about hair algae at 2 months. It's what is supposed to happen. Take this time to try to perfect your maintenance. Blow out your rocks, clean your substrate and manually remove the GHA. It won't grow if it doesn't have the excess nutrients. I rubberbanded a toothbrush to the end...

    Anyone Running an ATS?

    I did a ball of chaeto in my sump and was happy with it, but I felt the need for a project. It's been up and running for a few days now. I was just wondering if anyone was running one "long-term" and what their results were.
