    Parameters (NITRATES???)

    Just retested again. Keep in mind, I added a scoop of reef roids since I did the test this morning and fed some. Earlier Nitrates were MUCH more bright yellow and phosphates were brighter. I figure around 0.5 per the chart prior to reef roids. Maybe 1-2 for now.

    Your experiences with BTAs?

    My big female clown wants to be hosted by my huge open brain wellso. Wellso doesn't wanna do it. After a few weeks I need to swap it into the frag tank as a vacation. When out of the tank she bothers the candy canes. Much cheaper abuse.

    Your experiences with BTAs?

    It's a 3 inch jawbreaker mushroom that popped off when I had an alkalinity swing the other day. I combined 2 tanks and went from 8.8 to 7.2 after a little boo boo. I tried doing half in one day back and he didn't like that and went free floating. Not good for an expensive mushroom to be flying...

    Your experiences with BTAs?

    my nem has been in roughly the same spot for 14 months. NO SPLITS. Just gets HUGE! Maybe the strain has something to do with the rate at which they multiply too.

    Sweet deal

    Cool idea Amado. I have 4 rock/flower anemone. One is waaaay away from the group up front and center in my tank, BUT the other 3 are high up on a plateau. Now I have like 4 little eraser head sized rock anemone in that region.

    The 210 tank build

    Reason I asked is I am bare bottom because of the red sea s series back to front flows, all my sand was pushed away from the front so removed it.

    Shroom basket?

    Did some tank maintenance, pump cleaning, etc with citric acid etc, and also tied in my 35 gallon frag tank yesterday which was also cleaned with muriatic acid. Anyway. All corals were fine this morning but my ALK dropped from the usual 8.8 to 7.2 overnight. Sure it was the acid or baking soda...
