Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I’m using it on my 32g I think the 1600 would work better for your 10g. Hygger list on there sight the sizes of tanks each model would work with.
I just canceled the order on that one and have the 1600 coming on Monday
 
They cover the slits on the overflow and the slits on your wavemakers, yet still allow for flow. Then ‘nem can’t put tentacles through foam.

Also, when you got the new wavemakers, sometimes they package it with a foam cover which would be great to use
Ok good to know thanks.

@00W where do I order the sponge things for the hang on the back filter?

I think this is going to work much better for your tank. I’m glad you had time to do that.
 
@tbrown I was doing some research on using a skimmer with flux RX. It says using a skimmer removes the medications did we mess up on this?
 
I mean how cool is it that @Katrina71 and @Calmwaters got to meet!
So groovy! Glad you to had a great time!
One day, my dream would be for all of us to have tacos at Tim's house.
Maybe one day....

Did you remove the cup? If you removed the cup it doesn't remove anything, just adds air. If you left the cup on, the medication ends up in there.
