    Awesome tanks! You obviously know what you're doing... How many years have you been in the hobby?

    Mmmmm, I like to think I know what I'm doing. :p I believe I've had saltwater fish just over four years and reefing just over a year. I'm bad with dates.

    Actually, I'll probably do a video of her soon. You would get a better idea for what she's like in person. The Clown Tang and the Lunar Wrasse are still doing great with her.

    Beautiful shots, sump and grow out tank looks great.

    Pour the tech M directly on the Bryopsis to kill it quicker.

    Thanks 2in10.

    I did that, too. It's dying a slow death. It was more of a pain because when I got the new sump setup going, I had to raise the mag level on an extra 80 gallons of water before I could put it online.

    Gorgeos pictures, Corals and fish! How often do you have to clean that? I love the orange one with blue flowers, maybe one day for us...

    Thanks, Anya.

    I'm not sure which one you mean, orange with blue flowers?

    If you are referring to cleaning the growout tank, the only thing I do is clean the glass every two or three weeks. I do a lot of work on setting up the system so I don't have to do a lot of cleaning.

    I started using RainX on the outside of the glass. It keeps it perfectly clean for a long time. Saltwater drips run right off.
