Decided to keep my tank!

[Mike1995]

It is a popular design option. To create an sps, lps, acan, zoa, frog spawn type corals, growth area in part of their system.

Go for it!

Hmm alright!
I have moderate lighting. Were would a toadstool leather coral be best placed?

Good luck with your tank. Where in PA are you from?

For anyone that might know, tons and tons of algea has been dying off. But now small bits of hair algea is growing . Can I just manually remove it?

Nice. I'm from the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area. I have a 75 gl mixed reef.

I was wondering if anyone has ever got any corals off eBay? Or if this one would be good?

Low #of sales and not good feedback score. I wouldn't.

Do you know of anywhere I can get a toadstool like that ?

I'd see if Pacific East Aquaculture can get you one. Or WWC.

Have you heard of a place in Northampton pa called something fishy? They have a web site but you are better off going there in person to see their stock.

I'll have to take a look

 

[Mike1995]

Some of my snails have started to die off. Is it possible its because a lot of the algea is dying off?

I know obviously my tank has a long way to go and all. And I'll be adding stuff here and there based on the million threads ive posted and the suggestions you all have given. But I just wanna thank you everyone (I know theres a lot more people that helped and continue to help) for guiding me in the right direction. I hope at some point I can do the same as you all and pass on the knowledge

I sometimes think to myself, what a bunch of awesome people.
I spent 4 years in the army and have ptsd and depression and all that. It was a tough road. So fish keeping has been my go to. R2R is the coolest thing ever. Sorry for being a pain in the a** and asking 10000 questions

On that note, I was wondering if any of you have kept a melanurus wrasse?? I've been looking at them and a kole tang lately .

 

[pdiehm]

my tank is just entering the ugly phase Mike. cycle ended 11/7. Over the last week, after 2 20% water changes, running lights at 3 hour's daily. Seeing green hair algae, maybe bryopsis...but the algae scrubber is in full overdrive. Pulled out a thick green mat last week.

 

[dantimdad]

That's what us old people are here for. It's just nice when folks listen

Thank you for your service. You are appreciated more than you know.

I will have two sons entering the service over the next year and a half.

If you need anything, you let us know.
