Morning folks! Lincoln, my wrasse, is up early and swimming before the lights come on. He's looking better already!

Also, thought I'd share this cool species: antennarius striatus, also known has the hairy frogfish.

I glued it to another rock and now the main frag regrew covering the exposed tip and the 1 inch frag has grown a few small branches at the base...wow..i amazed so fast...will try and get some pic when the tank wakes up fully...

Come down here where it's nice and warm!

That is normal weather here this time of year. I would love to be able to travel and meet all of the smorgs family someday!

When I get done spending so much money on my aquarium I'm going to get one of these coffee makers. Lol

I don’t see that ever happening Amanda!

True but at least once I get enough corals to suit me I can slow down on spending... Wait then again I don't know if it's possible to have enough corals...

We got about 2 inches of snow last night as well.

Same.

So what's a good salt that won't break the bank that you guys would recommend with my current type and amount of corals to help them grow strong and beautiful? I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystals right now.

I am using Instant ocean in the 300 and if you want higher parameters then reef crystals. I am using instant ocean switched back from using Brightwell, Tropic Marin and red sea. Saw no difference using the last 3 compared to instant ocean.
I saw a huge improvement when I added an auto top off for rodi and a doser for Kalk.

Honestly I think you are fine with Ocean Reef Crystals, I think the majority on this forum uses it even the big sps tanks. I use Fritz RPM because it’s all my LFS carries and I try to buy everything from them because I don’t want them going anywhere. I got a 50 ld box for just under $70 but Amazon had the same box for just under $100 bur remember, I only do a 4 gallon change a week.

I think you can get 160g buckets of instant ocean from PetCo with repeat delivery for 33 bucks. That's how much I payed for my first bucket. Dirt cheap salt. And it's a trusted, good quality salt.

I do not do any water changes since Aug...
