What types of fish do you plan to keep? That will determine your options. I.E.- if you wish to keep gobies or other burrowing/sifting fish, then it...
Missed the last update somehow. Absolutely beautiful!
I have no doubt! Absolutely stunning, John. Thanks for sharing. :)
Awesome shot, Cheryl. Beautiful coral, too. :) LMAO!
Problem is, detritus is also food for something in your tank. Being trapped in a sock or sponge, it just wastes away, creating DOCs.
Thank you. :) Yeah, I've seen Emeralds do some strange things before, but that was definitely a first.
Thank you. I only rearranged it like 5 times while it was cycling. lol

Earlier studies have shown that feeding freshwater feeder fish to SW predators is bad for their health, so I suggest sticking to SW foods.
+1 110%, Swisswiss. As the old saying goes, "Variety is the spice of life". Just like our own bodies, many fish species need more than one source of...

Nice setup so far. :) To add to Rootfish's post, the Maxi-Jets don't fare very well on wavemakers. They're great, inexpensive pumps for continuous...
Thank you. I've had Emeralds before, but that was a first. lol
