My 40 gallon recife build

Thk

Ponape died last weak !
Thermal stresse i guess...
I took it out of the tank to kill an Aptaisia.
5 min. in a cold room (68°F).

This gives me the opportunity to put a Green Slimer and a GoldenRod (because of yours!) in this area.

Dang man, that's a bummer.... Of course I would pick that colony to compliment...

There's a lot more to your reef than the birdsnest though! Id love to see what you would do with some anacropora. It would look great there!

This plate is starting to curl up. Im really hoping it's about to drop a baby. Wishful thinking probably....

Meanwhile "Sweetlips"......

No I’m saying I can’t figure out how to lower my nutrients below that point lol. I mean I’m honestly satisfied with 10-20 nitrates and 0.05 to 0.2 phosphates but getting it locked in or any lower than what I have now just feels impossible lol. More food would have the opposite effect though.

Sorry about that as I misread your comment and thought you were wanting to raise your numbers. I did think, though, "Well, his numbers don't look bad but if he wants to raise them..."

Not sure if it opens at night - I tend to sleep at night.

Sleep at night. Such a slacker.

Great news, saltwaterfish.com issued full refunds for the fish that died. Now the difficult part is picking something else. I got the two fish I wanted last time, and it's hard to get them again. It's also hard NOT to get them again lol. With that being said, I could do a pigtail fairy wrasse and a yellowtail flasher

You are a menace. I love it!

I was thinking about an Achilles tang!

Very hassle free. Ill use them again, especially if the fish actually survive next time.

@tbrown I made a little order at corals.com. I needed a lower priced item to get free shipping, so I went with the black sun coral. It's lightly hideous, but so extremely interesting.

I picked up a frag of that Jake Adam's ACI crystal experiment montipora that we talked about also. If I can get it to grow, the first frag is yours.

That Crystal one looked pretty nice. I wonder - based on the experiment - how much will it change under different lighting and different parameters or if it will at all?

Me too. I thought the same thing. I liked it because it was really bright and had a unique growth pattern. So I think im going to put it in higher par to try to keep the color up!

Hey, slick, when does your Corals.com order come in?

Next Wednesday! I was hoping to get them tomorrow. But when you order at midnight you miss the cut off, turns out!

The replacement fish do come tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that!

Well, try not to kill them this time. Sheesh...

Go with a slider. Takes more skill.
