I dig the pictures, and also love the potters wrasse.

Congrats!!

Slow down with the dosing. You want to dose that amount over like 5 days. Rapid swings are worse then having low alk so bring it up slowly. I made that mistake so that is why I am telling you.

Go with a pair of wrasses. Reef safe, will do fine in that tank.

Very nice, glad to see you have stuck with the hobby. We have had our ups and downs as well but the ups in this hobby are amazing.

You can post the frags in the meeting thread as well if you want, wheather permitting.

Do you have any sand sifting snails (nassarius, ceriths) or blue leggs? Diatoms are a brown type thing that you will get when you setup a tank or add new sand or rocks (basically it feeds off of silicates so eventually it goes away unless you add them through tap water). I tend to get it in...

Are you sure that is cyano and not diatoms? What is your CUC and I see the vortech, but what is the flow like?

Aim for 1.026 that is natural sea water and what is pretty universally recommended to keep your tank at. I learned this lesson last year, long story short my refractometer was off so my salinity was off. This led to massive swings in alk and calc which led to coral death. Now I keep it locked...

Check your salinity ASAP and make sure it is inline. Also bump the radions down. 5% a week is good ramping, 15% at once can cause some issues.

Wow three weeks and I have not updated. No pics as of yet but I will get some tonight. As always with reefing some good news and some bad news. Good news: Tank is maturing along very nicely. Coraline growth is accerating so the rock does not have that white dead look to it. The corals that...

We used a blend of tonga branch, real reef (the fake stuff), and other assorted live rock we have cherry picked throughout the years. If you are having problems with live rock, get the fake stuff so you know there will not be any issues. We had the luxury of time to cycle and clean our live...

My UV is plumbed into my return line right underneath the tank.

I would buy new rock. You can still keep and work on the pukani and work it back into your system over time when you have it completely under control. To fight an ongoing battle that you know is going to to adversly affect your system to me is not something I would do. Figure when you factor...

The agenda for meeting is just pure reefing joy. A wonderfull oppurtunity to just get together with other reefers and talk shop without getting the looks of are you crazy that most normies give us when we discuss shop. Food is consumed, drink are imbibed and good times are had by all. There...

Fish look great. I have had my yellow watchman in my frag tank which has not sand and he has been fine. He has a little cave that he hangs out in and is doing well.

You could probably get away with two pair until one starts to breed, then they will probably kill the other pair off.

We have failed miserably with flames and a multicolor. We currently have a joculator and a flame/potters hybrid (false shepardi). They are leaving our two clams alone, and the sps for now, but the joculator does pick at scolys. we also did well with a Pygmy and a flame back.

They have a 14 day guarantee and they are rock solid behind it.
