Unfortunately my hermits had been climbing all over my plate coral. So even though I moved it. It was to late and has been dying since. Hopefully I'll have plate buds maybe.

And good morning all

Is that macro you have in the back left corner?

A few years ago in a trip to New York I saw snow for the first time but I have never seen snow fall.

Wow!! That symphyllia is a stunner!! I have one that I'm trying to save after it spent a couple 95 degree nights in the ups warehouse. It seems to like lower flow, and eats like a horse!

Those are really nice corals. I tried keeping gonnis, but shrimp and hermits constantly irritated the polyps crawling over them. I even mounted the goni at the top and hermit still knocked it down even though it was glued...

Which powerhead should I consider upgrading too? I feel like I trust Hygger more. But I don't think Hygger has an app.

I use a Hygger mini and it's worked great on my nano. I have a Jebao DLW-10 which I also really like it was just a bit too powerful for my tank. If I had a tank your size I would be looking at the new Jebao DMP-40.

The Maxi-Jet pump you have is really good at mixing new batches of saltwater.

Interesting... I think I'm going to do the Hygger cross flow, I've heard great things and its controllable too. What do you guys think? But I will look into that Jebao.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 10 55.6%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 3 16.7%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 3 16.7%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 5.6%

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
