Does anyone have a good light recommendation? I'm looking to get some amazing fluorescent color. I love the nanobox tide mini but it's just so pricey... there's also the new eheim light but it comes with no timer and isn't nearly as fancy as I'd like it to be... but it is only $80.

Are you using distilled water in your tank? My friend did and nearly all of her inverts died and she got awful algae, I assume, because there were metals or contaminants from the distilling process. Once she switched to RODI her algae cleared and her inverts lived. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First corals added. GSP for the floor, a ricordea from HOT, vargus xenia, a small green leather(not open yet), and small pink toadstool(not open yet). I'll post more pics after they open up. I'm finding it very difficult to place these guys. It's like working on a ship in a bottle. Plan to add a neon green sinularia, neon green toadstool, and if I can get them off the rocks in my other tank, a red mushroom, green mushroom, and another ricordea.

That's awful :/ did they refund it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pupchow and inappropriate reefer are one and the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Congrats!! The safest thing would be if he could see the tank but not touch. To do that, I'd build it into the wall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gorgeous tanks and cat [emoji108]I've always loved IM tanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah but then I won't be able to turn everything into a complicated mess?!?? Oh yeah I meant to order marine pure. That's probably what'll go back there along with a little filter floss and some carbon sounds good for a softy only tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also, would having brine shrimp in this tank give any benefits? House of tropicals is where I got the LR and the bins of rock were FULL of swimming brine shrimp. Super cool to look at. Will be back there today bc I dropped my Fitbit there. Considering asking for a bag of them just because they are so coveted as a food. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is the kiss method? And honestly idk what to do with the back section exactly lol. If there's chaeto there it feels useful. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have one that's almost 2 inches when extended. He's pretty cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What do you guys think of chaeto to fill the back panel? With a little mesh to give the pump some room. I'd use the magnetic LED refugium light. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm considering some nice st Thomas mushrooms for the bottom. Though many he I should stick to things that don't cover ground fast/ take up too much room with a single piece. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The sixline is getting picky idk if he really did but he didnt like the mysis i fed daily. Ammonia zero. Seahorses rehomed. Algae rampant as usual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That tank is gorgeous. What're your stocking plans? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah kind of. I'm not putting anything except softys in though. I was thinking zoas along the horizontal branches, gps/zoas/ricordea on the bottom, ricordias on the horizontal branches, a toadstool leather towards the black panel, and then green tree leather among the vertical top branches. We'll see how it works lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is going to be interesting to try and add corals to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do kole tangs jump often? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the fluval m-90 and the back is glass. I just don't think I would be able to pack enough algae to make it worth it. Plus there's pretty slow flow back there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys just got a 3 gallon CPR pico-c tank used. Filling it with water today. Buying live rock from house of tropicals on Wednesday. A week or two after that I'll be adding ~6 pederson shrimp or other nano shrimp. No fish. Probably will go gsp bottom becuas eits clear. Only softys. Anyone got any cool alternative ideas for this little tank? Zoa bottom? Do pederson shrimp have a bad mortality rate? Does anyone know what this weird filter media is supposed to do?(a bunch of blue plastic ribbons) Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I could re do my tank from the beginning after that lecture I would've bought a tank with a sump instead of AIO and done the triton method... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's... interesting. They don't include that the toxin has to be heated to get into the air other than like spraying unless this cleaner has some reaction that does this that I'm not aware of. It's a very weird take on reef keepers in the beginning. Far too dramatized to me. The rest of the article is pretty cool. Is that our Copps for the quote? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ammonia is somewhere less than .25 today. Hard to tell because the sun is obscured which changes the color but it's definitely lighter than yesterday where it was somewhere between .5-.25 and originally when it was .25. Salifert tests are on their way... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Coralfish12g's website carries them too I think. Luckily didn't put in my order yet so I'll add one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
