Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
You put it in the nozzle that is on the back wall, one gives random flow and the other gives flow in 2 directions
I wouldn't take a million dollars for mine. I love the extra, random flow it gives the tank, without an extra electronic
 
Is he attacking coral, or other fish?
Never touched a coral in almost 9 years.
However.
You know my trigger outweighs him like Mike Tyson, right?
Wish I had a video camera when I feed
He terrorizes that trigger something fierce, my oh my....
 
Been a bad week. Lost my yellow wrasse on Sunday, went in midnight to clean my broken down, stagnant tank on Tuesday and did exactly what you're not supposed to do, went to ER on Wednesday morning with potential palytoxin poisoning or sepsis, then 3 antibiotics + CT + EKGs + lots of needles later was discharged Thurs night, then Fri morning came to find CBB dead on sand, most SPS RTN'd and about half of LPS dying in the main display.

Today has been a good day, though. Winning at the dad game so far.
Ugh.. I hate to hear this. We put so much into this love of ours. What a loss. I'm sorry, but I love the positive spin you put on it about having a good "dad" day. And I can't wait to see how you come back from this.

That is so wild. It's always the pretty ones that get ya in life...
 
sorry to hear this buddy, I have warned the wife that the zoa's pack a punch, so she basically keeps her hands out of the water. Maybe I can steer clear of the emergency room considering I am trying to build a zoa garden
I love mine. Finding out which ones will grow the most is a blast and the add such a color pop. Be safe, but highly recommended.
 
I'm heading to bed but I got a picture of my new tangerine zoas that I got yesterday for you guys.
I love them! Have a good night Amanda.

Yeah when I transferred tanks I put him in last just to keep the aggression down
Just made it worse he's like a bat out of hell.
It's mostly comical but man, he's tough!

Reminds me of my crazy yellow damsel. He would go after other fish AND corals. I finally had to tear down my tank to get him.
 
I forgot to get pictures of the new fish today. But, the carpenters wrasse ate like a champ today. I don't know how she could fit so much food inside of her! The tomini tang ate a little meaty foods, but not much. She's pecking at the rocks though!

I also added a piece of mesh material to a waterfall part of my sump, and added a light. I hope this will turn into a little algae scrubber!

Dude, im so sorry to hear that. Thinking of you, praying things get better!

I have 2 random flow generators on my 2 return lines with about 600gph each (roughly) love them
