No sand for wrasses not macros

I don't think my sump is big enough for a Wrasse unfortunately.

I guess that’s a reasonable explanation.

I guess that’s a reasonable explanation.

Only explanation is a bigger sump then.

 

[stoney7713]

@tbrown macros would be cool but in my experience most common ones are fast growers and would choke out the nems. You would be pruning weekly in that small space.

Then when you get a bigger sump.... Gotta get a bigger tank to match.

I can offer a leaking 50 that used to be a sump. That should give him plenty or wrasse space

Nah he just went from a 125 to the 70. But nothing says a sump can’t be a home for livestock

It's going to have a pair of Clowns, the anemone crab, and likely a Court Jester or Hector's. Maybe a Lawnmower Blenny if I decide to do another one.

I've often thought about a double decker with 75s, top corals bottom microalgae.

I did a 50 tall over a 29 freshwater planted setup previously. When I set the 90 up it's going to be planted on top but it's drilled so I'll be doing a sump setup with a Betta "Fuge".

You guys are distracting me from working! Thanks. I needed a distraction. I was tired of working.

I’m done for the day. Inventory week so I’ve been in at 2 every day

Well, I'm done for the day. Work from home day and I had 4 meetings so I decided that fish tank stuff was necessary. I've been responding to emails also.

Oh my, didn't know you worked remotely. Do you use the land line or water line to call into the office?

Eeewwww meetings. The enemy of productivity.

When I was remote I preferred to use the airline

I try not to call into the office, but when I do, since I'm in AZ, I always use the Hotspot.

Well @tbrown I'm pretty impressed with this little skimmer. It's only been a week but I've been able to tune it and get some real nasty looking stuff.

I have a large refugium and my nutrients stay low, but my water always has a discoloration. The skimmer seems to be helping remove some of it.

I'm cautiously watching making sure I don't zero things out.
