My 40 gallon recife build

Is it Sweet Lips? It should totally be Sweet Lips. Unless there's a Banana Lips song, then it should be that.

I wish there was. You know now I have to look, because sweet lips is hilarious

If Missouri wasn’t so far away I’d wash your mouth with soap!

Well played sir, we'll played

I've been calling myself dosing the 2 part method, but have only been using fusion 2 to this point. Lately my calcium has been dipping below 400 on my routine tests. So I began Fusion1 to bring that up. Everything looks good, so I'll just take this as a positive sign of growth.

My flow is finally where I want it after adding the Nero3. I dont know of anything else that has had a more positive effect on my tank than finally nailing the flow. Absolutely everything looks better.

Very nice looking tank and corals. I really didn't realize how important flow is. I mean, yes I know it's important, but didn't realize how much it effected my corals until I got it right. Again, very nice!

Thanks Kevin. I couldn't figure out how to get around the light glare, but it turned out pretty cool

@MegabiteOG Thanks for dropping by and sharing the kind words. You said it, I didnt realize how much of an effect flow (or a lack of it) was effecting my coral growth and extension. After adding the extra flow and getting everything moving, I realized how ineffective it avtually had been.

I'd also like to say, I remember reading your build thread a couple months ago when you first started it. The system you had 10 or 15 years ago (before a lot of today's bells and whistles showed up) is the standard! And the sump area/stand of the new build is as much fun to look at as many displays. Stop by anytime, my friend.

Thanks man. I’m glad you enjoyed it the new build and the compliments on my old tank. Come to think of it, I had a bunch of Tunze’s in my old tank. Tons of flow! I will continue following your progress here. Happy Thanksgiving.

Haha As an avid Arby's lover, I am in full support of that!
