The refugium chamber of my sump is just so tiny. A bunch of the rfas seem to be relaxing and opening back up, and all the newly added zoas seem just fine.Amazing pics. Any way for the file fish to be a sump lord?

There goes that idea. Mine seems to do well with a little extra feedingsThe refugium chamber of my sump is just so tiny. A bunch of the rfas seem to be relaxing and opening back up, and all the newly added zoas seem just fine.
I mixed up a bunch of LRS, aquaeggs, selcon, shredded nori, brine, etc and refroze it into small molds so I can toss food more often in more reasonable quantities.There goes that idea. Mine seems to do well with a little extra feedings
Thanks! It's been a work in progress for sure. Welcome aboard!Tank looks great! It has come a long way in just over a year. I just read the whole thread.
I forgot to ask how are you liking the moonshine method? I’m using ATI essentials, and am having to dose extra elements, so I picked up the moonshiners handbook. So now I’m thinking of switching as my sps are pale. Ati system and moonshiners are similar with the Icp testing and dosing additional elements. It just seems like the moonshiners is doing few other things that are producing serious color.
Love your tank. Glad to know I am not the only one with an addiction to Gorgonians . I only have 7, honestA refresh of snails for the cuc. A number of gorgonians because I have a problem. Some macro algae. And 2 common RFAs
They're a great addition, but can eat small shrimp, craps, snails, etc.Nice updates, and that picture of the engineer goby is just wonderful!
Also, I never really considered the marine betta before for my tank, but yours looks quite stunning!
I probably won't have room left to consider bettas after the other fish I like better, but I appreciate your advice. My current FOWLR has three 3" triggers and a 12" snowflake eel, so I am familiar with CUC consumption concerns. I would like a pistol shrimp and cleaner shrimps in my 90G DT, so marine bettas are probably out of the picture.They're a great addition, but can eat small shrimp, craps, snails, etc.
He leaves my Harlequin, cleaner, and pistol alone.

maybe magnets.Might need to replace return pump. It's the only thing I haven't checked recently and I'm showing a massive spike in metals (rodi sample showed zero so not from source). Might be a fluke as corals seem fine other than the zoas/RFAs... but I still think they're from the filefish.
Recommendations?
Yeah after posting this I recalled a few magnets in the tank that I didn't inspect. Too dark in here to deal with right now, I'll pull it apart in the morning.maybe magnets.
I *did* find some [what looked like] rust in one of the old powerheads I replaced a couple months ago, but nothing tested then. Jebao, like the return. I've been eyeballing the sicce syncra sdc for a bit so this might be a good opportunity to replace for peace of mind anyway.maybe magnets.
very happy with my 9.0. bought a 6.0 I was going to use for a UV I bought pre water in the box. never brought it on line. so now I have a sicce sdc 6 for a backup.I *did* find some [what looked like] rust in one of the old powerheads I replaced a couple months ago, but nothing tested then.

I have a 90, plumbing is straight up, no kinks or turns. Was thinking the 6.0. What I have now is technically a little more powerful but I run it at 50 so I think I could in theory just bump it up a little but still not need to move it full throttle. Maybe.

No, i'm the epitome of lazy, no wc for me unless its sump cleaning month - which is this month actually, but I haven't done it yetNew batch of salt? Been hearing stories about bad batches lately...?
