Do you have a current pic? I would guess you still have some phos. in the water, but it will not hurt the fish. What is your current status with exporting nutrients ... water changes, skimmer, filter ect? When you add the bioload it is is going to add nutrients to the water. I would suggest...

WOW! That is a super cool coral. Great pictures even if the frogspawn wasn't playing nice. I like your idea of keeping it together, tremendous success as a reef keeper.
I have a sand sifting cucumber...it is not as cool as Sam's stars..but given the amount of room I have..they are better suited for smaller areas in some ways. It is not the cutest thing...my daughter has named it the sea turd ;)
Welcome to the group. Very nice story, funny and two happy endings. You got your share of hitchikers that is for sure. How do you have the JBJ 70w 14k Metal Halide settup now? How long has the tank been setup?
Nice job.
That is a super plumbing job. Fantastic that you kept to your plan and it worked out so well. Certainly looks efficient. If I get the chance to setup something I will certainly keep it in mind.
Vinegar to clean it. That is the only way I have ever heard of cleaning a tank.
Also, the sump just makes things EASY. I have 2 systems without and one with and let me say it DOES makes a difference. Also, the increased water volume really helps.
It helps if you can plumb it into your kitchen...
Quick note last night my little guy moved down the wall and settled in the sand. Actually in an almost perfect place against the front of the tank so you can see his foot and everything.

a) In most cases the light is not strong enough, and they are "reaching" for it. What kind of lights do you have? How big (deep) is your tank? Rock/Flower anemone like to wedge in the rocks or burry in the sand. Can your aquascaping...
Can I ask you all a question...dont mean to hijack the thread...my question is similar.
I ordered a flower anemone during the group buy. I was under the impression it would stay down in the sand or along some rock but mine decided to move right to the top of the glass. In front where i get to...
I was in last night ... they were very helpful in picking out some food for me. I was really impressed with the work they have put in recently. Really liked their livestock looked super happy and healthy.
OK I am a huge newbie but let me reply anyways because my pain is fresh.
First scares me that they are using a "failed" FW system. 30+years of FW and it wasn't
a whole lot of help with salt.
Second...who ever said don't worry about RO water ...worry I am still trying to get the crap out of my...
I just got my refractometer from Tropiquariam and I like it a lot. Fairly heavy piece of equipment. Was just over 50 bucks with tax. They have in stock now just FYI.
That is a great set of statements, more books should start out with those paragraphs. :)
I agree we would need to know what he wants in the tank. But I like this thread in general.
Thanks guys.
Gotcha...if you can get it to make Darth Vader noises that would be cool ;D. Still I would think about including the chiller hoses but maybe I don't understand your plumbing too. So just thinking outloud sorta.
