Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Grab the rock and pull it closer to the edge of the tank so it's still in the water. You'll be able to see it better. Do you have a hammer and chisel? You can break the shrooms off there.
It's a small rock and one of the mushroom is in a crevice of the rock but I might could try that.
 
I wounder if I could modify this into a chato reactor. Tunze fuge lights and some acrylic might do it. $50 for it

That's a great idea let me know if you figure it out.

It would be interesting if you make it happen, keep us updated if you do

Would you put the lights inside the canister? Do you have a link for that? Looks interesting and I'd like to check it out.
 
"Ideal" is very subjective in this hobby lol, too many tanks with too many different parameters but as I asked Walker, it was out of curiosity of a 10:1 ratio on someone who maintains 0.02 Po4, because math gave me 0 No3
You are right, it would.

Or break off the part with the "unwanteds"...
 
I have it saved in notes because when I have to post it again, it's not easy for me to search 1000 pages before lol
That's where mine is that way I can easily add names to it.
 
Good morning Smorgsters, I’m running out of clown pictures so I will leave you with this last picture because I have a question. Do you think my female clown is egg bound and ready to spawn or is she just fat?

You know, when I first saw that fish, the first thing I thought of was your clownfish getting ready to spawn.
That was an awesome fish Xunhe!
 
Might be a case of hit and hope it breaks where I want it to lol
Never know unless you try! You can do it. It won't take much to break reef rock, it's really porous. Try to just chip off the "pest", if the whole thing splits in two... oh well! You can still chip off the "pest" part and keep the rest of it if it does break in half.
 
I have it saved in notes because when I have to post it again, it's not easy for me to search 1000 pages before lol, and I bookmarked too
Smart man!
