Sounds like those rocks are still doing their job! Way to go with the self sustainable system. That's fantastic
Yes but with nutrients this low I've got cyano problems which has never been that much of an issue before.

Pretty sure the lifereef is too much for this tank.
Running an experiment here, using this more for oxygenation than major skim.
See what happens.
Maybe not stripping so much from the water will help the biome.

My dad loved Roger Staubach.
He's a navy guy.

Miracle Wes!
So proud, so happy!
Congrats!!!
To be honest - I don't really follow football. I occasionally watch a game. My knowledge of the players increased when I read Jerry Rice's book on the NFL.....then I forgot almost all of it.
