Even after moving most of my LPS to the 300g, my reefer is still packed LOL

Beautiful tanks! Love the hybrid fixtures. Is that the lumenbar colors attached to the light over the reefer?
Mind giving an update on current fish stock list and how the tangs are doing together?

Thanks!

So your questions are mixing tanks, so I’ll make sure to differentiate.

On the reefer 350:
The LED bars are Orphek, a custom ordered UV/Royal blue hybrid bar. I really like them, for the price it’s a fantastic value.
The stocking there is a scopa tang, pair of clowns, and a mandarin.

On the 300 gallon:
All the tangs are doing excellent. Super fat, and barely any aggression.

Stocking includes:
Blue Hippo Tang
Yellow Scopa Tang
Sohol Tang
Sailfin Tang
Pair of clowns
Mandarin
Random wrasse

Going pretty amazing- I just scraped the coralline off everything, so figured I would share a photo. The spectrum is very true here.

The anemones from @Cultivated Reef are doing comically well. One is on the right side.... and then 7 are on the rock on the left side LOL.

Looks great! When are you going to share more details on your spinning frag rack?

I had issues with both the tank and sump I ordered... which has unfortunately delayed my timeline.

Had to stop back by to catch up after catching you in the Fritz thread.

Love everything. You are doing a super awesome sauce job! Hope some of my Monties and other small frags can turn into a nice overall display like yours one day.

First thought that came to mind, can that be composted? Found out it can. (I wasn't sure if the salt would be an issue, I compost everything I can.) WOW to your tanks!!

Interesting! I wonder if I can feed it to my 40+ tortoises lol. Or if the salt would be harmful
Ooh I dunno but I have a box turtle, great question, I'll google and see what I can find out.....
Ok so far it looks like yes they can have it but not in excess, it can't replace their main greens but is safe as a treat. https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/seaweed-as-a-part-of-my-tortoises-diet.173455/

I also enjoyed this article, but then I'm an internet junkie: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/algfoodfaqs.htm

I have redfoot tortoises and sulcatas. Let me know what you find out! Though I would be nervous with the salt.
