What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Puppies, tennis balls, fire, wood, furnace, and a 12' Joe's Glass Cages! Ok, they're up to speed now I think...
Joe did the 8'er... ;) slackin Tim...:D
 
Hi all, since beginning I have an issue with phosphate way too high between 0.5 to 1. The only way to reduce is something like chemi pure blue? I am doing 10% weekly water change and don't seem to have too much food waste. Also it seems magnesium depletes fast (1100 to 1200). It could be Coraline as I can see quite a bit on pink glow on rock? Or salt problem? Rest is ok temperature 77, alkalinity 8.45, ph 8.2, salinity 35, nitrate 10 and calcium 410. I dose also all for reef 15ml for 55gallon per day.

No way!!! I love peeps already had some pre, pre, Easter ones this week. But I’ve only ever seen original flavor.

Silly California probably only sells Matcha flavor. So what flavors are you all getting and does it really taste like Dr Pepper?!?
 
Hey guys just wanted to share this tank shot (taken with orange lens) from about a month ago (10 month old IM Nuvo) with hydras , UV , Skimmer , Carbon , trace dosing + AFR (colors all started coming together (except a few new drags coloring up)

There have been some recent additions since this photo was taken , mostly a new stick , and some more collector gonis

Nice to meet you all

Beautiful!

Lots of freaky flavors down South. Btw, we frequently open them and let them dry out for a few hours until they get a little dry on the outside. Most people here call them crunchy peeps.

Chemipure elite will drop it more, but might strip it too much.
 
@Remi how are the tailspots?
Still status quo. During the day one stays on the back glass the other one on the rock. At night both on the rocks. The one on the glass gets more food from me as I can pinpoint him. No fight as one submitted the dominance but cant swim in the open.
