Cleaner shrimp cleans everything I bring in the tank.
It’s funny how he just moves all over the tank. He cleans fish and corals. The fish swim to his cleaning station and wait to get cleaned.
I was able to pick up a large monti cap from
@brokereefer. My tank looked empty so I picked it up. The color was amazing and I found a great spot for it in my tank.
I still haven’t purchased a lens fo my phone so the pictures don’t look perfect. I also took a picture of my anemone.
The reason why I wouldn’t do my own DIY
Alk and cal at home. Using nonreef safe ingredient
For me it’s not worth the risk. The manufacture can change its ingredients at anytime. They can use something today that won’t nuke your tank and that can change in a year. They can find something cheaper...
Yeah I did the same. I was going to spend $40
On esv 2part. This was double the amount for the same price. With free delivery so let’s see.
At the rate that I am dosing this should last me a few months.

At that price I picked up a few bottle of alk and calcium. I usually use esv but this is so much cheaper I purchased a bunch let’s see how good it is. $4 for alk and $4 for calcium $7 magnesium. that’s a good deal. The Strontium is also priced well if...

If I had to do it again I would get the apex EL
And save the difference for a trident.
I don’t clean my sand bed. I have gobys that clean the sand all day. I have snails that clean the sand bed. I have sea cucumbers the eat sand and poop clean sand. I have conch that clean the sand all day.
I have a brital star fish that shifts and moves the sand all night.
I look at my tank as a...
I put sand in all my tanks. In my opinion
That tank is small and you are not going to have a lot of live rock.so adding sand will give you another
Place for bacteria to live. I also have a lot of fish that need sand to sleep and live so going without sand is not an option for me.
Now no sand...
In my Expirience you never really get rid of aptasia
Even if you can’t see it it’s in your over flow or pipes. You need to find a fish or invert that will eat them. In my last tank I had a copper band that clean up everything.
