1 male lyre tail
4 or 5 females (can't remember how many I told him to order)
Not sure on foxface, maybe just a Fiji

I do but drink from bottle

Fishy tank looks amazing! Congratulations. Keep nori hung all day the powder blue should stop pacing lol
At what point is is t just too much?

If I hang a sheet of algae at both ends of the tank folded up, Both sheets will be gone in half an hour or less. Id guess they would do this three or four times a day and they make a MESS!!

That’s one thing I’ve never understood. Many people say including Victor from WWC say leave nori hanging all day. What about potential mess? pieces that come off even if ensured? Nitrates and phosphates?

Currently have dinos. I think I traced it to 2 things.
1. I've been keeping my macro instead of tossing it. Some friends want some this weekend.
2. I dosed a large amount of AB+, and coral power. I think the increase in coral photosynthesis blew my po4 to basically nothing.
I have been dosing neophos for 2 days have it back up to .083 from .025. Looking to get back to .113 .115
Today's test results.
Salinity 34.9
Temp 78.5
Ph 8.03
Alk 7.2
Ca 460
Mg 1500+
Po4 .083
No3 10

The gonis have been the most effected of the coral. But the sps look fantastic.

He has done that since I put him in. He was used to eating flakes which I don't feed. Won't touch any of the frozen but stops pacing to eat the algae on the back glass.
Dropped some macro in tonight ate some of that.
