Maybe itll be reef ready.. or aio.. havent decided yet. But itll be a cube style most likely. We'll see..

Maybe itll be...
reef ready... No, not fun enough
or aio.. No, too small.
But itll be a cube style most likely... 4 foot x 4 foot x 20" high cube is acceptable.
We'll see... what I let you decide on ;) :) :p

Photo dump...

Had a few losses but i dont sweat it. Cant keep everything happy in a mixed reef. Part of the game when u run .2 - .4 po4 and 15 no3.


Love watching it sift and flash at the CT, but ill never get another again.

Gonna spend a lot of time in front of the reef over the next few weeks while i wait. Kalisha and I had a moment last night discussing what we could possibly replace the tank with in that space. The ups and downs of knowing its gone are blips on the radar compared to the feeling of chasing my dreams down out west. All good things come to an end. :)

Well at least the clown remembered to eat a few times. Does seem like the others are now giving him even more space and really taking their time going in for some now.
Need to play this at algae time

@Raege if you thought uve been going crazy waiting for tests... how does like 9 weeks waiting sound? LoL... i dont even know if i can trust these numbers anymore. But it appears the same spikes are present, but the iodine and other lower level traces from the 1st round have buffered out with the Red Sea 4 Part colors program.

Over the last 4 months ive done a total of about 50g in wc's. Tops. RedSea got my vote with this system. Hands down.

Loving the .383 po4

"Oh, po4 above .1 is a danger zone? :cool:

9 weeks is crazy! I just sent another Fauna Marin 19.99 test in Tuesday last test was 10 total days to get results. They should have my water Saturday hoping results in even less than 10 days this time. Curious to see effects of dosing the core metals

Crazy little clown tang. Love how the crazy anthias and clown are chill. Guess crazies do hang with crazies
Exactly what ray said when he was over.

Maybe ill name the fish before i say goodbye... they might earn the 'bonnie and clyde' title. I wont get too carried away though.
