Here are some new additions... Thank you Coral Morphologic - Live Corals for your recent sale.
The lite is a good starting point...but I went straight for the elite...running 5 power strips for all of the "stuff"...So far, excellent.
In our system, the carpet anemone is "anchored" in place...I dug a hole in the gravel, set the base(foot) of the anemone in the hole and back filled...
Morning, I see that Otty and Missionsix use that service, perhaps they could be of more help.
This evening, the NO3 reading is between 5 and 10... another 10 g wet skim in progress....
Another 10 gallons changed through the skimmer last night... the NO3 color is moving from Red-Orange to yellow....still greater than 10 and less than...
This week's chemistry checks were a bit surprising... while the NH3/NH4, NO2, and PO4 are all "0s"...NO3 was 20 - 40... We suspected that something...
In short, I'm looking to balance the energy and maintenance cost to the equipment by limiting the cycling of the equipment while maintaining a...

Very good questions: The chiller is getting between 600 and 800 gph, my best guess based on collecting the flow from the chiller... The main circ...

Spring Weather is upon us!! With the approach of summer, the new chiller is starting to run... In the first attachment, the temp drop is 2...
I started with a 75g and moved up to a 120g...the fire fish and chromis do not get very big and five of one of these or three of each would likely...
My 3 fire fish school well (more impressive when there were 5 of them) and I see some schooling behavior from my pair of Yellow tail Damsels and a...
