Had a bad water change day Wednesday. Long story... Was doing a minor treatment for flatworms with flatworm exit , then...ran out of water as I was draining good water down the drain with my python. Whoops. Panicked...So dumped RODI from my tanks reserve into the sump, probably colder than tank...

sooo. things seemed fine yesterday, but today, have a seasons greetings browing a little, a chalice getting lighter in color and a few other SPS more faded colors that normal. I had added carbon yesterday, could THAT have made the water clearer and result in more instense lighting? should I...

Colorado Sunburst? How long have you had it?

Chicago?

Today was a fun one. I usually fill my 30 gallon brute, and do 20 gallon change on main system and 5 on each smaller tank. Today I decided all 30 of the main tank. Generally just drain the sump for water changes (about 20 gallons), and refill sump and hit pump on. As the sump ws draining with...

Was borderline political. I liked the way he tap danced around it.

I have a fixed mount for my lights. If I added single T5 bulb to the fixture mount, which bulb would be best as a general bulb to add?

I this really a thing?

Newest battle is that of Phosphates/Nitrates. I had posted this in an SPS question NJTaxMan brought up. I have a red sea s500 max tied in with a 35 gallon frag tank. They both go into the stock sump under the red sea. I have BRS 5 stage RODI and maintain the filters religiously. March 1st is...

I just randomly add dry rock occassionally. naybe I use some sump pieces for another little setup. Just replace those few pieces with dry rock. Plenty enough bacteria to go around. All the dry rock I am adding has been bleached/dechlorinated/rinsed/dried. So not much dead organic material...

As far as the main display, I havent taken a super recent full tank shot. This one isnt too long ago, but definately have some changes since this shot. Will add some new shots very soon.

Looking back to November 2019, I had a huge Green Pavano (Potato Chip coral) It was dying. just a few little lingering specs of life. This is that same Pavano this week.

I got a cool rimless frag tank from SumpNFishy. Initially I had it as a stand along tank next to the Red Sea s500, but decided to tie them together. Here are some pictures of the frag tank. It became an extension of the display in reality.

So my Red Sea was picked up on November 10, 2019. So 2 years 3 months! Havent updated in a year and was a year behind on the Red Sea s500 to begin with!

price? Location. I would like one. LMK

Montipora? or Chalice? Color is tough to see in this pic.

Have a red sea s500 max tied in with a 35 gallon frag tank. They both go into the stock sump under the red sea. I have BRS 5 stage RODI and maintain the filters religiously. March 1st is my next scheduled change of all filters but membrane. I do 20-30 gallon water changes just about every week...

I tried very slight amounts of NOPOX, and $1200 worth of jawbreaker deaths later, decided....I will try the cheato method or just let it go as is. Corals are looking good. Just slow growth.

Seems fine. I think he may have gotten to the edge of the cage and then started climbing down the xBoxOne controller charging cables when his weight made him pull it all down to the floor. Maybe 2 feet max fall. The falling remote probably scared the cat more than anything. Seems good. Climbing...

I guarantee it is to blame for my slow growth and lack of coraline algae buildup. BUT everytime I try and address it, I lose alot of coral. so my only plan is skim more wet, change my filter socks more quickly, feed a little less, and add a better grow light to the cheato section. IF I can get...
