Pacific oysters better success. Can thrive up to 95 degreeSo i am assuming these oysters are from warm water areas of the world? Certainly couldn't use something like bluepoints from off the coast of Maine could you?

What is your secret? I have softies,LPS and a few SPS that grow but when I get a clam after 8 months or so they die. I feed fish several times a day.Not sure what I am doing wrong and I know it can be anything.
SG 1.025
Nitrates 30
PH 8.1
ALK 8.6
CAL 480
Prop it up with rocks on each side and a flat one under.Love our Derusa but "she" has turned on her side, not open anymore. I stand her up and she lays down... Why? What to do? Thank You!
e only tested it once in mid July and they weren’t that bad at all a little off but I put fish in there and they lived long before being eatenDo you ever test the water to see what the parameters are? Where do you live?
Pics pics pics wanna see sump because I’ve been thinking going macro in my sump instead of fugium for something different plus lots of beautiful colors to choose from to create a beautiful sump that’s all aliveI had a bunch of clams and oysters come in on gulf live rock. Most made it through curing and through alot of instability and ups and downs this year.
Temps run around 78 in my sumps. Haven't checked alk in awhile. Don't really dose much besides reef roids and ab+. They are always open filtering water. System stays pretty stable when I can learn to leave everything well enough alone.
Not sure how much they play to that effect but its super cool to have a sump full of life. And growing with minimal effort. Basicly a desk lamp and daylight cfl bulb
Sure thing Theres about 200lbs of gulf and 100lbs of walt smith crammed all in there.Pics pics pics wanna see sump because I’ve been thinking going macro in my sump instead of fugium for something different plus lots of beautiful colors to choose from to create a beautiful sump that’s all alive
So that’s your sump. Awesome I love the idea,, I think you just gave me a new addiction lolSure thing Theres about 200lbs of gulf and 100lbs of walt smith crammed all in there.
Took some pictures of the rock that my wife has claimed and put up under a cheap black box over one of my tables as well.
The RFA also came as hitchiker as most everything else aside from the shrooms and zoas my wife has been gluing to said rocks lol The colors that are coming in on this are are awesome im seriously considering getting a cpl more cheap black boxes to put over my sumps.
Yessir. Lots of ideas here as well.So that’s your sump. Awesome I love the idea,, I think you just gave me a new addiction lol
Yes sps colors tend to be more pale in my last tank and this one that’s been up for a year. Very low /zero No3 and po4 in both tanks despite heavy feeding and only a skimmer for export. This large dersa was in both tanks so I’m curious if others have had similar experiences.So you are saying your not getting coral growth/color because of the low nutrients?
My head is spinning with ideasYessir. Lots of ideas here as well.
Can't keep predator and reef unfriendly fish up top so why not in the sump?
Thinking about doing a mantis sump on the one side.
Lots of possibilities with it though.

Yes. The frag tables are cool but get boring at times when everything is clicking! The sumps are just as cool if not even better especially at night. All kinds of critters. You name it. I'm pretty sure I got something crazy going on in sump #2. I put my puffer in it with Blenny but he freaked out and stayed in the corner trying to escape for awhile so I put him back in sump 1.Props yo.
Your sump is looking healthy. I would be looking at that almost as much as the DT. Puffers and parrots are my favorite but are not the best in reef tanks. Everything looks healthy. I am even second guessing the effectiveness of the Eshopps skimmer against some of the more pricier ones.
So awesome great idea.Yessir. Lots of ideas here as well.

Ok can we see your main tank I’m interested in how well it works for keeping algae out of mainYessir. Lots of ideas here as well.

Yes as a matter of fact I have. I put some of the tanks substrate in a hang on back filter and put 5 small clams, little neck or tops can't remember, they were little. It worked like a charm. I put cheato on top of that.Has anyone tried "regular" clams? Like the kind we make into clam chowder?
No DT on this system. Full frag table system with the 2 sumps that I call reservoirs that I posted earlier.Ok can we see your main tank I’m interested in how well it works for keeping algae out of main
