You need to let your tank mature a bit.
Making corals unhappy isn’t helping.
Be smart and get things going the right way.

Yes sir. I’m the worlds worst at being impatient.
Soon though... I’ll be looking for a weeping willow leather coral.



Speaking for LPS and Softies...your tank looked great when I saw it. SPS or not, you’re a legend in my book bro. You’ve helped countless people and have a wealth of information. I need to film your tank “without” SPS. No need to worry, Acropora are great, but reefs without them film just as well. :p

Day 44:

Gonna let it go and not bring the PO4 level down until I get the Hanna ULR reading. It’s gotta be above 0.3 now.

If you want a I got you a checker I haven’t been using for over two years.

And you do your film at the same time.
For the trouble I got you a nice piece of the original Poletti JB.
You can see them in the picture.

I didn’t even know they made a ULR PO4 checker like that. We’ll have to cross check it and put it to the test. :)
