My nutrients are stable. They were untested. They are still untested.

Fresh Start

What size pump did you put on that? I got a free reactor, so it might be time to retire the the 12v aqua clear refugium mod.

Got an mj1200 on it with a ball valve. Dialed back just a tad. A 900 is probabaly perfect.

Chaeto didnt melt on me this time but im feeding a lot to keep levels detecable and lowered the water level in the skimmer quite a bit. Seems to be working well.

 

[Dsnakes]

Everything is looking good. Very nice set up :)

I've got an mj1200 in the basement, but this is for the lil cube. It's kinda big. I'd like a D.C. 1200 but...
everything else in the tank is D.C. Save the heater right now.

Do you get particulate built up in it? All my hobs have.

A little bit but not too crazy. Considering how jammed this thing was when i cleaned it out i would have expected more. I havent run socks in probably 5 mos either.

My Mandy loves Reef Frenzy!! @ReefFrenzy

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

WHAT!!!! No way! I'm showing that video to my Mandy!

 

[Scurvy]

LoL, he usually snacks in the back corner in the smaller bits when i feed so its hard to get a shot but i moved that monti cap up front so he gets a little cover and it slows the flow a tad.

He beat out that jealous snail and and fended off a hermit to keep that chunk!

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

I have never seen that. Crazy.

Exactly what I fed ours tonight. Gonzo is a huge fan!

 

[Scurvy]

Couple of pieces arrived Wednesday and are acclimating well. Pictures manipulated a tad but pretty darn close to what I see.

 

[Scurvy]

Since I shot the Biocube I figured I'd do the Reefer today too. I spy a couple of @Katrina71 frags on that rack!

 

[Katrina71]

I love all the coral!!!!

I was just at the lfs, they had 3, 1” spotted baby mandarin... the 3 of them almost had a fight over frozen shrimp!!! I would have purchased 2 of them (male & female) but the clerk was concerned my larger blue/green male Mandy would have fought with them... any opinions out there??

Oh yea. They'd fight.

Thank you I’m glad I didn’t get them but we may go back and get them for my partners tank!!!

Absolutely theyd fight. You've probably seen your current male try fighting his reflection as it is.
