corsi1330 August 3, 2013 Author Share August 3, 2013 The wrasses he is keeping don't require a sandbed. I'm keeping similar ones in my 93g bare bottom tank. They do great. +1 they just wedge themselves between rocks at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wangspeed August 8, 2013 Share August 8, 2013 Brian, just wanted to say your setup looks really great. Wish I knew about you before I ended up making my stand decision. I have the same problem. HVAC floor register (I hate these for many reasons!!!). I ended up building a riser to a Marineland Monterey. Looks pretty good, but yours is a good notch above Tank looks great. Keep it up.

corsi1330 October 4, 2013 Author Share October 4, 2013 Yes, long overdue! I just added corals over the past week. For the last couple of months my corals were receding and are just now recovering. I believe this happens due to my well water. I ended up and chlorinated my well and seems to have set things back to normal. This seems to happen every couple of years and this trick has always worked. I believe over time my well water develops a bacteria which effects the water quality. When this happens my corals start dying from the tips. Anyhow, I cut off all dead areas and all corals are back in growth mode again. Although the color on some is way off all are growing again. I find that this tank is too small as I still have a lot of SPS downstairs! Sorry for the slow response to this thread and thank everyone for there kind words. Let me know what you think!

When this happens my corals start dying from the tips. So do you use your well water straight then? You aren't running it through an RO? I had my well water tested. The hardness is good. No strange chemicals. BUT - I have measurable nitrates. I'm concerned that could cause algae problems and so I'm using a very very wasteful RO for the tank (I get about 40gpd from a 75gpd membrane and probably reject 3x that).

My water is terrible here. Everything is run through my Ro/DI. I just need to chlorinate the well every year. Actually it is recommended that all well owners chlorinate there wells to remove bacteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsi1330 November 13, 2013 Author Share November 13, 2013 Couple update pics. My nem decided to walk and I had to tear down half of the corals and rock work to remove him. He has been relocated to my 70g downstairs. Kinda feels like I am starting over with the amount of disruption but all is well. Corals are all coloring up more and more every day and a lot of new growth. Right side of tank Left side of tank Clean cabinet :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
