Here was an article I linked to before that give you a really really good overview of tobies:

Article starts on page 32.
Did you check the TDS of the water coming out? If you are at 0 you should be good to go. Having sediment and carbon before the RO and DI helps keep the membranes running longer. I am sure extra carbon would help, but don't know if it is required. BTW I am pretty new to RODI units so I would...
So the tank has stabilized out incredibly well with the twice a week water changes and the corals are loving it. I took my own advice to someone else today and went and bought a tripod. I am still getting used to it, but here are some pics:
These guys were turned a bit so I could not get a...
I have the d3100 as well, hit me up and I will see if I can help you out. I have to change the setting for all three of my tanks (power compacts, T5s and LEDs)
Also Kevin, great pictures.
No they are completely fine. When I said booger frags I meant thing likes chalices or monit caps where you can frag a booger size. Zoas in all sizes are fine.
For the Frag Lotto, I wanted to throw up some general guidelines so everyone is on the same page:
You can bring up to 3 frags total (please no duplicates)
Please bring frags that you would want to get for your tank. No Kenya tree, GSP, button polyps, or booger sized frags.
Bring them securly...
Also just another ancedotal piece, the most amazing tanks that I have seen, either in person or on Reef Central as tanks of the month, have all had a calcium reactor. If they didn't have a calcium reactor, they did not have any dosing. I have yet to see one that was powered just by dosing pumps.
The problem with naso tangs is that you cannot sex them until they are full grown (the male gets the long streamers). Your remaining fish might now be a bully, it may have just been defending its territory if they were both of the same sex. They are gorgeous fish, good luck with the remaining one.
They are harder to dial in and things can change in your tank which can throw your params way off. First decision is what solutions and how many are you going to dose (calc, alk, mag) how often you are going to dose, when are you going to dose. What company are you going to use to supply the...
Couple of quick raffle updates:
Spoke with Copps this afternoon and he is bringing some amazing frags for the raffle. The only one I know of so far is the Tyree Red Dragon Acro but he will be getting me the names of the others. We will have a dimmable MH ballast from our newest sponsor and...
I have been running dosing pumps on and off for over a year and I can't wait to get a calcium reactor. At your tank size I think it would make sense to get the calcium reactor and go from there.
Nikki was pulling a mushroom off of a rock and got stung. Soft corals have no skeleton so chemicals are their only defense and they can and will use them.
