If you watch the BRS video. The UPs didn’t work well. If you have ecotech I would get their battery. It will last a lot longer than UPs for about the same price. It will also lower you pumps to 50% If you don’t have ecotech then I would look at the ice cap. It will work with gyre and a lot of...

The powder blue and the pacific blue are constantly battling for control of the tank

Thank you it’s still a work in progress. At the end of the day we all have glass boxes with salt water.

It’s all a matter of budget. You can buy 3 box boxes and they will grow corals. They would be a huge jump from what you have. Relassy Aquarium Led Light 800W, Dimmable Coral Reef Light for Saltwater Aquarium Fish Tank, Full Spectrum LED Aquarium Plant Light with Daisy Chain Function...

Since it’s a new setup I just put some in the reactor to help the algae scrubber. But I don t need it. The algae scrubber was growing algae from day 1. I never had one so I didn’t know how efficient it is. I will be removing the GFO and just run carbon. Thank you it’s a work in progress. I...

On my main tank my nitrite are zero. I am running a algae scrubber and GFO in a reactor. So my tank is not a good test. I have about 400 gallons of water and like 6 fish lol

Right now I just setup a 30 gallon quarantine tank. I added a black clown I just picked up. I put a capful of bacteria. I am Using the seneye now to watch my ammonia. This tank has no rocks or skimmer. These are my numbers

If you use live rock from the ocean. You will introduce all the diverse bacteria’s you need to keep your tank alive. So you can add fish right away. They even tell you to so. so that the bacteria doesn’t die. It needs the fish poop to live. Live sand is usually a dormant bacteria so it’s not the...

Actually you have to add fish when you add bacteria. It needs the fish poop to survive. Corals don’t care about ammonia in the water. Fish will die if you have ammonia in the water. I have a seneye to test ammonia and I was at zero from day 1 adding bacteria. I also added snails I already owned...

Adding Bacteria in a bottle makes sense. You are not adding “chemicals” It’s bacteria So you are helping your tank cycle. That bacteria will exist if you do nothing but it will take longer. If you introduce the bacteria then it will cycle your tank faster. I have used DR Tim’s with great...

How many tangs do you have In total? I have a 210 and I have 4 tangs.

How big is your tank ?

Congratulations !!

Hey welcome to the reef club. I would run a magnet over the black sand to make sure you don’t have any metals.

Thanks for the clown. I decided to keep it in a separate tank to get it nice and fat before I put it In with the mean clown

Your coming up on the one year anniversary of your wife winning that tank!

I have seen this tank personally and it’s very well built. That low iron glass make the fish look like they are floating.Good luck !

I have a very mean lightning clown as well. Maybe I should pick up this clown. Put both clowns in the tank and see who wins.

Reefco has them for $20

If you have rocks the pods will survive. You don’t need a refugium for pods. look at the algae Turf scrubbers. They work well and don’t take up a lot of space
