Does anyone use gyres that alternate? Or have you in the past?

Only used Tunze.

I know this might sound dumb but maybe the tang will feel more comfortable in the big tank.
I could try feeding other foods in the big tank for him.

I would let him learn how to be the alpha in the small tank.

He is already bullying the Pygmy angel. Nips at him when they are eating nori.

Patience young jedi.

Well I guess I’m not doing a water change this weekend!

I don't think my tester goes that low. ;) ;)

 

[Katrina71]

Test? Lol

 

[Katrina71]

I will need to test in the new tank for a while.

 

[Reef Devils]

So some of y’all don’t test cal, alk, mag etc in your tank. Do you let the water changes do all the work?

 

[Katrina71]

Yep

 

[Reef Devils]

Yep

and you don’t dose anything

 

[Katrina71]

I have never worked out the math, or done it, but a long time ago, I was told if you change 1g per day in an average tank, you'd never need to dose anything. I'm guessing you could change up salt to meet your tank's demands if you needed to.

Nope, sorry.

I am always going to test and dose in the 90 gallon.
But with my 10 gallon I want to get the yellow out soon and take the Pygmy to the LFS for store credit and get 2 clowns.
I want to add a bunch of anemones into the 10 gallon and have the clowns live in them.
I don’t want to dose or test in that tank, just weekly water changes,

My previous 16 years in the hobby water changes did the trick, mostly softies and a few lps. This tank is mostly lps with some softies and a couple sps. Water changes couldn’t keep up with demand. It will depend on what you’ll end up having in your tank.

Super excited to start this journey with you folks!
Had to cut out some of the bottom of the stand to drop the sump a couple inches to allow access to media shelf.

Will still need refug light!
