For me that was the best tank I ever had.
It always looks good and I had nothing in the tank
Just 6 huge discus. If I had a apex at that time doing automatic water changes that would have been incredible.
What I realized about anemones is that I have no idea about anything. I had a really large rainbow anemone it always had bubble tips. The clowns hosted right away and the anemone never moved never spit.
I felt like I was doing great. Now I have a new tank
With Wilson anemone that has split...
I use pond baskets they work really well and allow water to flow. I already owned a few of these.
They are really cheap and they come in different sizes and it’s reef safe plastic.

To be honest I really don’t like fish. I am a coral guy.
Salt water fish only tank is not in the plans.
I like corals the only reason I have tangs and wrasses/ urchins clean up crew is because they clean my corals. I think if I was to do a fish only system I would do a fresh water discus tank...

Will reply and they will delete the thread.
I had a real problem with my brand new trident...
Actually the new controller from coralvue they opened the power strip and it ended up being the same exact components from a amazon Wi-Fi power strip. I have had a apex for years and I am also not using the apex to actually do anything. In my last
Tank my apex was a control freaks dream.
But...
Ok I will play
Fish food
1) algae sheets nori a lot cheaper at the shpermarket.
2) frozen food very easy to make your own at home for a fraction of the price.
Equipment
1) leds work the same no magic you don’t have to buy expensive leds you can use black box light to grow corals.
2)...
