Selling a pair of cinnamon clowns. They’re in the attached video. Still small. I am shutting down another tank and want to move the snowflakes into this tank with the ritteri nem. The ritteri nems are native hosts of percula clowns. The cinnamons are still small but hanging out together all the...

This has to be a measurement error.

It will remove N and P approximating the redfield ratio, about 16:1. Yes you have to test and occasionally supplement nitrate as needed. I always keep my N high at least 5ppm.

Paul explained it much better than I could. Carbon dosing is cheap and effective.

Very simple. Mix 500ml vinegar + 375ml vodka + 125ml RODI water. Start with dosing 2ml a day until it kicks in. You will need to measure PO4 and NO3 for a few weeks until you get the dosage right. Good nutrient export is critical for algae control.

Carbon dosing will remove any amount of nutrient you have in the water easily. Just need to make sure you have a good skimmer. I no longer use GFO it only removes phosphate then what are you going to do with nitrate.

No idea about the light but you can use a smart plug and have it plug/unpluged remotely or on a schedule.

I have a few years back. The mail order operation of PetCo is not the same as the stores. Fish were delivered directly from the distributors Petco just do the money transaction. So in a sense similar to LiveAquaria.

Leopard wrasses are more resist to disease compare to others, the key is to get it to eat. I never QT my fish let alone performing any copper treatment.

Some of my old school stuff are finally starting to grow.

Nice. One of my favorite SPS corals.

Got a few corals don’t fit in my tank. Pick up central jersey, 07747 frogspawn purple tip baseball size $80 hammer two heads $40 Blasto $50 Trachy $400 watermelon zoas $20

The return needs to be higher than the highest water level in the reservoir. This is how I do it.

Think it was $25. With the gas prices lately and Covid bailout money is over I think you’d see a lot of unsold corals Sunday afternoon.

Haha I used to be the non-commital type as far as coral placement. Now I glue them down as soon as I got them. Can always move later and corals seem to do better glued down especially SPS. As for urchin I have a bigger pincushion and love it.

I don't have any because I carbon dose :)

Well if you have the $$$ why not.

Indeed. Although it does look like my regular frogspawn

I don't use filter socks on a regular basis, let the detritus settle in the sump. My corals love having some particles floating in the water.

I have a fish trap in Aberdeen but I don't think it will work for you. Flashlight in the dark with a small net is the best way to get hard to catch fish. Do it an hour or so after dark.
