So I was talking to Derek at Miracles Aquariums today looking at maybe grabbing a second tank for my setup. I've had a hankering for Garden Eels lately but they won't do well in my shallow tank so I need something a little deeper. I'm still in debates over adding a second tank but when we were talking he mentioned the fact that I might have started a bit of a trend with my One piece Eurobracing, he's had 6 orders for tanks with the one piece on them so far, some of which have mentioned my name directly.

I never thought I was cool enough to start a trend but here we are, now to come up with a catchy name for it, any ideas??;Bookworm;Writing:p

You got me all excited and then he basically read the instructions off the back of the bottle :/ I’m just going to keep dosing exactly the same way, (but with the corresponding dose of Ca) continue my wc schedule and let things gradually even out. I’m more concerned with the effect of losing an important member of my Cuc and 20+ percent of my fish bioload. Nevermind how amazing the blenny poops were! He would go up to the top of the tank and take a poop shower in high flow areas, it would go everywhere. Literally crop dusting my corals. If I get rid of my wrasse, there goes another 20% of my fish load, and will completely change the biome of the tank because he’s keeping the little critter populations at a minimum. Every time you change something in a small tank you get a mini cycle...this is incredibly frustrating, I was so happy with where my tank was at. Now I have decisions to make (again!) that I thought were behind me.

Remove the six line, get a pink streaked or possum wrasse and another blenny. :)

Mornin folks... tried to sleep in because I haven't been able to sleep well, been having strange stomach pains. Hopefully they go away here soon... anyway, neighbor decided 8am was a great time to fire up the leaf blower. They've been at it for an hour.

Please do but the "It costs how much brace?!?" Does sum it up nicely ;)

I haven't but I REALLY should, he was talking about getting a new water jet machine I bet he paid for with all that extra money :p;Hilarious;Hilarious

 

[Why-Me]

I just read about y'all talking about dosing Ca
Why?
Why not just do WC?
If I'm not mistaken Mg and Ca deplete at a rate of 10x to 25x slower than alk so just keeping alk in line will keep the others where they should be.
Personally I've never tested Ca or Mg, I don't even have those tests.
Does it really matter if your Ca goes from 420 to 400 while your alk goes from 9 to 7?
Just thinking asking out loud, here.
Not trying to ruffle feathers.

 

[Why-Me]

It was pretty much explained to me that your tank doesn't have negative effect from Mg or Ca dropping 10 but from the alk dropping 2.0 dkh in that same time that the others just dropped 10 points.
It's the alk!!! Keep alk at your wanted level and the others stay put with the alk.

Hoserbrace. Lol

;Hilarious ;Hilarious ;Hilarious I saw that one coming

@JoshH Congrats on your design taking off! I'm anxious to see your closed loop system too.

To be fair, I don't know that I could call it my design entirely, I drew inspiration from the ONE tank i could find online that had one. It was a small tank though, a cube of some sort. Ahhh heck, forget I said all that, I'll take full credit!

Hummm sounds like they really want a punch in the face, I'd set the dogs loose after them ;Hilarious
