Do you also look after phosphates?

My 10 year reunion is this weekend.

Yes. Yes I do!

Its amazing how quickly nutrients can increase when you pull the macro out of the sump. My tank went from near zero to 35ppm no3 and 0.5ppm po4 in one week!

Macros are use nitrates quickly. Many people understamate how quickly they use nutrients including trace minerals.

To keep macros happy feeding them usually is the end game. I firmly believe that's why macros fail after some time has passed

How was everyone's Monday??

My day is still not over. Got about 4k steps to go. Loki gets a walk when I get home

 

[SashimiTurtle]

Yes! I can tank sit. Just overlook the nitrates. Lol

Sweet, remove all this hair and bubble algae and do a 50% water change on all the tanks. We're going to Disney World.

I’ve heard they are very hard to keep alive after they’ve covered your sand bed and end up starving to death.

I kind of see my fish and corals less as ornamentals and more so as pets. I don’t want anything dying on my watch until they are old.

I really love my clowns, I sometimes talk to them like I do my dog.

S*** I talk to my frags sometimes, you can find me playing a soulful Chopin sonata to them on sundays.

I’ve had great experiences with GHA, that and chaeto you’ll never have to worry about excessive nutrients again

Those blennies are hardy. Will graze algae all day like cows.

I have a flame tail blenny in the Menagerie that's slacking on the job, and a tomini in the 90 who is also slacking... actually the tomini may not be slacking, there just too much for him to mow down.

Blennies are easy to keep. It's the sand sifting gobies that can become malnourished if they dont take to frozen. They will keep the sand bed super clean, but usually end up covering corals and stripping all the micro fauna from the sand. Big enough tank and theres enough food to replenish, too small and either they eat frozen or starve.
