    Tubs, AoG and a rainbow acan not pictured were from vivid

    The red acan I got from pacificeastaquaculture and have been very pleased with the color and growth from them.

    Updated Tank Shots 2 1/2 months old

    Thought I would post the progress of the tank, I think its done pretty well considering only 2.5 months old.

    And for a bit of a shocker to a lot of you and even to myself. I just did my first water change...... yesterday which didn't even need it considering the parameters.
    ph 8.3
    cal 440
    mag 1400
    dkh 9-10
    salinity 1.024
    amm 0
    nitrite 0
    nitrates 0
    phos 0

    I'm not really sure why I waited so long, I have read people not doing water changes except occasionally and thought I would try it and the tank has been super stable. I think a lof of it has to do with the refugium. I'm not overly stocked either.

    5 small chromis

    About 180-190 lbs of live rock, chaeto in the refug and that is it. Let me know your opinions/comments which I am sure there will be some for going so long without a wc but it is working for me. Thanks - Ryan
