Welcome abroad. You'll love SW for the endless frustrations. So don't expect to do everything right the first time then you'll be fine. Do get the parameters of the new SW from the LFS. Sometimes the numbers could be all over the place depending on the salt used. ATO is a must and Tunze is a...

Add nothing except alk and calc thru dosing. Light on 12 hours 7 hours peak. For PO4 and NO3 I shoot for undetectable levels however I have not yet achieved that. Still working on ramping up nutrient export. Algae is getting a little out of control right now. Run super-sized skimmer, refugium...

Build a steel tube stand with removable panels. Reduce contact with floor and you can clean up as needed. Still damage with the hard to avoid. Also all in one tanks may be better for this.

Maybe start a high end frag trade thread is a more viable option. Trade only no sale. This encourages people to buy some high end corals. Quite difficult to define what High End is though.

I don't see how this will work with only one person growing out the frags. 6 months is a long time anything can happen even to the most experienced reefer. But I do like the idea. How about this: 1. After demonstrated the ability to successfully keep SPS for longer period of time, n people is...

If you could avoid putting sump under tank. Much easier to work with otherwise. As Mike said have the auxiliary tanks planned out and plumbed so water change is just flipping a switch instead of running soft hoses.

The IM Lagoon tank is very nice.

We don't QT a foreigner when he enters the country, even if he is tired and sick and carry transmittable diseases. In fact we allow them to sit right next to us in the same small airplane for long period of time while breathing the same air and using the same restrooms to pee and poop! Humans...

When it comes to reeding there are always a lot of stuff on everyone s wish list, unless of course you're bill gates. Even if this does everything accurately I probably still have 5 items ahead of it on the list. I have been doing fine mostly with weekly alk test and monthly testing of...

I have plenty I am in 07733.

I was there today. My first. Much bigger event than I expected and I spent at least 4 hours checking out the floor and listened to two talk. Bought some supplies but only one piece of sps, a deep water Fantasia frag from Jason fox. I enjoyed it very much.

The hair algae is out-competing with everything else in your tank for nutrient. I have similar issue now but I know it's caused by the new rocks. No hair algae only the fluffy kind. Algae grows in the DT only. Macro is not growing well in the refugium. I am getting some snails to take care of...

Great fish for someone likes to change up every 2 to 3 years :)

What an coincidence. We had an outage last night after which the pump output was much lower than usual which caused the sump water level much higher than usual. This only happens to my rio pumps. I am thinking about replacing the rio pump eventually. When the water level is high the skimmer...

This sounds fantastic. Looking forward to it.

Switched to T-mobile 9 months ago save $100+/month which should cover the power consumption :) Paying a lot in winter to heat the tank. So I run in sump return pump which helps.

Beautiful tank. Great aquascaping with all the right porportions. Tank looks big for it's size.

Anyone goes Friday, Sep. 4th that wants to car pool? Like to leave early in the morning to get there by 10am and come back 6pm or so.

These are great rocks I originally got it from SPotter. Very porous and not very common. Easy to stack. Taped area is 48"x24". Does not leach anything. I have it lightly itched.

Peppermint didn't work for me but my copperband removed them after a few weeks.
