Well stated, +1
With my 120 g system, much is automated... so the 40 g system takes more time to take care of... so, if the reason to take it down is about the...
Thank you... This morning it was dead. Yesterday afternoon, we did put the LM Blenny in the refugium where there is the cheto and lots of brown...
Well, in a month of feeding every other day, I've noticed that all fire fish and the lawn mower have developed sunken bellies... Today the power...
It is a beautiful system, with with ~ 55 fish (visable), soft corals and sponges...it is no small system.
I should add, that the cheto is also turning brown and dying back...GFO is a powerful tool in the fight against macro algae...both that which you...

[IMG] Well, the Mg test kit was near it's end... So, I opened a new Salfiert kit and ran a couple of test... Mg is actually ~1350, much better...
Look'n good. Nice work in the seams.
Ouch, there are many sites out there with some detailed information... the best I have found is related to the jail break sites. As there was...
Hum, that's a rule of thumb I'd heard before...and forgotten... I only ran the test one time yesterday...so, no cross check. However, the trend...
