...like a stake through the heart! :-(

I’ve always needed help with nitrate removal due to the dense population of larger fish I keep and my ridiculous feeding protocol. I’ve used a biopellet reactor in the past but now giving sulfur denitrator a try.
It’s not online yet. Came in with a broken pump part but marine depot was all over it and rectified the issue.

That Emp was truly magnificent! To house a Regal, Emp and Bandit at the same time is impressive, thought the Emp would have been aggressive towards any angel additions.
I only just found your thread so apologies if you’ve already answered this, can you tell me what this coral is? It looks like a monti/scroll coral of some sort, super cool looking.

That’s my yellow scroll coral I’ve had for 13 years.

Yes, the majestic too amazing. Any problems between the Regal and Emperor? Sad you had to remove him.
Ever do frags of the yellow scroll, that’s a really unique piece.

Never had any issues with the regal and emperor. But I went with the rule of an over populated tank... basically enough fish that no fish hs an ability to stake out a territory so less likely to try to defend anything. If I only had the two angels in the tank instead of 6 angels and two larger tangs, the emperor may have bullied my regal.
Message me if you want a frag.

I’d have to look when I get back in town bud. I’ll let you know then.
Spent the last few days reading through the thread. New Zealand doesn't get the majority of the fancy sticks you've managed to add to your collection. I'll just drool from the other side of the world.
Thanks for sharing your journey so far!

Thanks for following along on my journey! We are fortunate to have access to all these beautiful types of acros but I don’t think you’d like the prices associated with them in the States!
Happy New Years where you are and happy reefing in 2020!

50 ppm nitrates going in and 2 ppm going out as of 4-5 days ago. I cranked up the effluent flow a bit and waiting for my needle valve to get in so I can fine tune it. I’m surprised how quickly it was already processing nitrates. The amount of nitrogen air in the reactor is a bit annoying right now though but I guess that means it’s working. It’s just loud as the bubbles get recirculated through the pump.
Hopefully it’ll get better as there is less nitrates to convert to nitrogen gas and my effluent flow is quicker allowing for the gas to exit the reactor better.

Yeah it is! Got it from a semi-local reefer in Houston. I have the UC Amazeballs Goni too and this one is on the level with it. Jae’s Atomic balls Goni.... lol.
