good idea! ill have to see if i can get my son to print me one tonight. is that normal for these sailfin blennys? he also totally cleaned out my elegance coral too

Haven't heard of one doing that but there's been tangs who eat coral and I'm under the impression that anything will eat anything at any given time whether they're known for it or not.
Looks like he's gone rouge.

Been there.
I just edit then erase everything then just type double post.
We love you and don't care.
I think a moderator has to delete it but I could be wrong.

Yup, you're right. I think you should be able to delete post for like the first minute after posting. Like when I help people identify hitchhikers and somebody posts just before me it looks like I copied them and I wish I could delete it but I can't..

Shoot for. 25 for now.
Mine is @.12 but softies don't use that much for a food source.

I think in a perfect world phosphate.05-.1 and nitrate at 10-15. I don’t live in a perfect world and my phosphate hovers around.25 and nitrates at 25 even with 12.5% weekly water changes. I played the number chasing game to only have it return to these levels. Every thing is happy so I just let it ride. I test those two far less than calcium and magnesium.

I played the numbers chasing game too Kev and really my tank runs best between .12-.2 for phos and 16-25 for nitrate with 15% water changes every week.
As long as I do water changes, that's where it resides.
Everyone is liking the new salt also, me especially. ;)

Sailfin can be coral pickers.

what salt?

For years used reef crystals and starting up this time just going with instant ocean. reef crystals never seemed to store well for longer periods. figure with instant ocean once i start getting alk/calcium load can just dose back in the parameters range i want.

I believe Joel started with IO, but recently switched over to RS blue bucket (new salt).

Just placed an order with @SBB Corals!! So excited. It was like 150 bucks but on sale for 57, and I had 2, $25 giftcards, so only 7 bucks! And supposedly I get a free frag with the order too.

IO user for years.
Good salt, very clean and consistent.
Bulletproof. Takes a long time to mix.
Never liked RC.
Switched to red sea blue bucket and I'm pleased as punch.
