I think it's good to go. You should toss all your coral in there.

What do you mean should? They're already all in there. Figured a little ammonia and nitrite can only boost growth right? Right?

Noooo amonia and nitrite are toxic!! Can kill your fish and corals!!!! Get dr.tim one and onely nitrifing bacteria helps cycle your tank on a week!

LOL!

Let's go with this. [emoji3]

I'm pretty sure he's joking. If not, there's going to be a long learning curve. Lol

I'm taking a road off the beaten path. Haven't you read about the experiment where they're dosing tanks with ammonia and nitrite in small quantities to promote growth and coloration?

I dose copper by way of vintage collector pennies.

Nice!!!! I knew there would be a use for all those pennies I have been collecting in a jar! I might have to try that too. All the bacteria from the pennies being handled so much can only help right?

a coralline covered penny sandbed would look awesome!! :rolleyes:

Oh yea, but they got to be pre 1983 but just toss the 1943 steel pennies in the trash unless you find a '43 copper penny, that one will be good for the sump.....

A bedazzled tank? Holy cow!! Now you're onto something!!

 

[Reeflogic]

Bedazzled Bling!

 

[BlueDevil]

Hopefully mo money mo problems won't hold true if I go the pennies as a substrate route?

Glitter sand?

 

[Chriscrna]

Have you considered putting a flux capacitor on your skimmer?

 

[BlueDevil]

Glitter sand?

I'm pretty sure I can find some glitter in my wife's Halloween makeup bag so I might as well throw it in there too while I'm at it. It will only add to the shimmer effect [emoji4]

 

[Reeflogic]

Just use the pennies as frag plugs and glue them to everything, totally bedazzled.

"Doc" Brown is building one for me as we speak!

I think I will use the gold $1 coins for plugs. Will add a little more color and shimmer and also give me a larger base than a penny would.

I heard that if you start feeding heavily and quit skimming.....
