Todd, Keep the reports coming...I'm sure I'm going "DC" when I crank the 100 gal back up. The pump I had running it before (LG4) was a bit too loud...
FWIW, anatomically speaking, the eye size of a fish is proportional to the size of their stomachs, so ideally, most fish should get about that much...
Looks like a whelk to me.
DT = Display Tank LR = Live Rock NO3 = nitrates By "old" bioballs, I mean "established" and in need of a cleaning or replacement. Most biomedia...
That's really great to hear you're liking the pump already. I definitely plan on using one when I crank the 100 gal back up. I did some more...
Take the wads of Cheato out and swish them into your DT every so often...that will thin the pods out and feed your fish too.
Ah...I was wondering. The control boxes seem practically identical.

Rayjay has a good handle on SH-keeping, and is giving you the real "dope" on them. Don't go into SH planning to let the tank fend for itself...it...
Have you compared the pumps side-by-side, at least the construction? I'm hesitant to get one of the "knock-off" pumps, or are they all made at the...
If it smells, it likely has been thawed/refrozen, and was thawed for awhile. I'd toss it. As far as "the best"...it's an entirely different...
I'll go one further and state that if you leave a "live" area of a gorg buried in the sand, the buried tissue will go necrotic and work its way up...
I agree with Cheryl...looks like it may be an Aeolid nudie from what I can see, which usually feeds on zoanthids. If you have any "zos", check their...
I voted "thru the back wall", but the correct level is about 1/2" or so below the waterline, aimed so you do get some surface agitation. If you want...
Be sure your substrate is deep enuff and that your rockwork is in direct contact with the tank bottom. This will prevent the fish from burrowing...
Good man, Todd...that's similar to how a good friend of ours plumbs his SH setups.
It sounds like your standpipe can't keep up with your return pump. It's likely a maginal thing, which is why the end of the in-tank tube slowly...
I like them...I'd use them if I were "frag-inclined".
FWIW, a hex would be OK for SH, but a std. 29 is a better footprint for a single pair of "std. size" species SH (erectus, reidi, barbouri, kuda)....
We add a small amount of Sea Chem Reef Buffer to each 5 gal carboy. Renee worked out the amount, but it's a small measuring spoon...one of those...
