That stuff really does look gross, but it works. How often are you using it?

Better to find out before you added another fish than to wake up to a dead fish/shrimp.

When our tanks crashed we pulled apart both skimmers and cleaned the bodies of them. Granted they are HOB and probably accumulate a little more junk, but there was a bunch of stuff that came out. We don't do it regularly, but probably 2-3 times a year would help. We clean the pump at least...

Good to know that for the future, we are actually moving out in the next two months. Hopefully the new place will be up to code.

The only reason I brought that up is a purple pseudo can be a terror of a fish.  I have heard of them bullying and killing fish in much bigger tanks and would be worried in a 10g that would be your only fish.  I had an orchid dottyback in a 12g and he was ok.  Dottybacks as a species are...

I almost forgot to post this picture of our new top courtesy of Olivier which is absolutely awesome. The amount of light that was being blocked by our DIY cover was substantial. This new cover is amazing.

I am always amazed when people go through a tank disaster and come out with everything looking great. Good job.

We have a the same problem with our 30g, we turn on the microwave and it trips the breaker. We have to unplug the metal halide lights when we want the microwave on. It is optimal to run it all the time but if you can't then my vote would be for at night. ORP drop off at night and having the...

The scientific name is Cirrhipathes spiralis also know as the spiral coral. It was originally thought to be a gorgonian but it is actually horn coral. If that sounds familiar it is the black coral that is illegal to import for jewelery. They have begun aquaculturing them in indonesia which now...

We pulled the remaining fire shrimp out and gave him away, he was the lone suspect in the death of the other fire shrimp and the clipping of the tail of our gold assesor basslet. He was not a nice shrimp. Here are some pics of a new paly I picked up from Reef to Reptiles: Some other zoas we...

Here is the birthday present:

Is that an orchid dotty back or a purple pseudo?

Where are you located?

If you are SPS dominant pick up the Oyster Feast, it is a great product. You can look at some amino acids (Brightwell, Elos, Zeo) or add some of Zeos additives (Coral vitalizer, Pohl's Extra, Sponge power, etc.) Probidio has some great products for SPS as well. You can go crazy with yourself if...

The place looks amazing, how many gallons is that tank?

I have Ultra LE Nuclear hornet Spagethi chaeto. I can frag a strand or two, will need time to heal.

Oyster feast is a great addition for SPS. I am very curious about the new food for LPS by fauna marine. Zoas I leave alone and spot feed my palys with Rods food. What corals are you thinking about feeding?

Looks awesome, my local LFS had a green long tentacle carpet that I was very tempted to get so i am glad to see one. What lighting are you using for the tank, it looks really good.

Brandon makes a good point, do you have any other powerheads in there or just the return pump? Did you change anything in the back of the tank?

Very impressive growth taz. Do you feed anything extra for it or just let it be?
