    New custom 30 gallon

    Sump looks really well setup and designed. Was that stock or did you do it?

    "If you want to upgrade your tank I want you to upgrade my front porch!"

    Great fish, we still have our Kemohora blenny and we love having cleaner gobies around. Nikki is not a fan of the kemohora blenny as it jumped one time in front of us and then bit her when she picked it up. They do have fangs and she was bleeding afterwards.

    How long do you keep refugium lights on?

    We run ours about 12 hours and opposite of the main lights. We ran an experiment (we left the timer switch on the on position permanently by accident) for a few months and did not notice anything too bad. Our fuge was growing out of control and we got some hair algae growing amongst the macro...

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    Regular chemi pure is a work horse and has been around for a while. You get some GFO and carbon in there which is nice. That is the only media we run in our nanos.

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    Careful with the chemi pure blue, that stuff is made for when you have high phosphates and you need to drop them quickly. I have not read up on it in a while but I don't think it is something you wan to run constantly. We use the chemi pure elite which is the "everyday" stuff and love it. As...

    Fish Food

    I can't link to reef central right now because it is blocked at work. If you search there or use Google you should be able to find it. Edit: Look for the thread by Humaguy "Humaguy synopsis on the efficacy of garlic for marine fish"

    Fish Food

    We use LRS and PE Mysis and I still get some live black worms from Trop if I remember. Everyone be careful with garlic. While it can be very useful for getting new fish to eat, long term repeated feeding of garlic can actually harm and shorten the life span of your fish.

    Any stores in red bank?

    No stores in Red Bank, I work here. As Kevin state above those two stores are about 20 mins away and well worth the trip.

    22 Gal revival

    Looks much better, good luck in the continued battle vs hair algae. Look into the mame or tunze nano skimmers.

    Vacation Prep- Newbie needs advice

    Great move in measuring out the fish food, that is always the one that non fish people mess up. I would be careful with dosing unless you can do the same and leave out exactly measured portions. Depending on your coral load 10 days might be ok. What is your daily dosing and how much drop off...

    Red Sea 130D AIO

    I have used rubble in the back of nanos before and I always got rid of it. It becomes a nitrate trap over time and is just not worth it. They make underwater led lights that you can use in your media basket with some chaeto if you want to go for a fuge. We have always used and liked chemi...

    mame style nano skimmer (DIY)

    Not a ton of room at all, maybe something HOB, but even then you need some room for the pump and the return area. You might just have to be diligent on your water changes.

    The 210 tank build

    Sunday funday in tank land. We were busy last weekend so a bunch of stuff got pushed to today which was not big deal, it was just tank time. We siphoned the frag tank and our refugium out, cleaned the skimmer and some reactors, and took care of some frags in the frag tank. We had a group of...
