    He is fat and very active. Hasn't touched coral so I'm happy.

    Thank you. I am debating getting two media reactors and running carbon. However, I haven't run carbon on my tank since this build started last February. So, I'm not sure how my tank will react to the carbon.

    I have to agree with everone else that the tank looks great. On the note of carbon, I dont see any negative effects on running it but I dont run it all the time. It will help clear up the water and help remove any toxins.

    I have been having some cyano issues lately. Tonight I decided to clean my fuge. I had a thick layer of muck on the bottom and GHA covering the rocks my mangroves grow out of. This took forever. I kept filling the fuge and return section and pumping the dirty water out. The water was brown and green. This took about 8 times before I was pumping clear water out of the fuge and back in to the bucket. I am hoping this will help the problem.
