Setting up a 220G SPS

[tangyou]

I’ve struggled keeping mine around .25 and my Cheato has done good as long as I stay on top of harvisting it. When I got home my PO4 was 1.5 and I’m having to harvest it every other day now. I put a baseball size in and pull a small basketball out in 48-72 hours lol normally a baseball size takes 2 weeks or so to do that in my tank.

Do you have problems with diatoms on your sand. That really the only thing annoying me.

No as my Diamond Goby, & 4 Chonch’s keep it clean. That dang Goby will be rehomed if I can every catch him. He moved the substrate around so much the lower half of my tank always has sand on everything. Lol

Lol. I might try some chonchs to move sand around.

They are awesome! I have found the kids standing in front of the tank watching them more then the fish.

I was 100% free till I trusted the wife to feed while I was on a 2 week work trip. She didn’t realize how big of liars my fish are so she feed 3-4 times a day and my PO4 skyrocketed so I have a slight GHA issue again, but my sailfin is working hard on his free food again lol. Note to self no longer trust the wife with feeding duty’s lol

When I’m away I use those daily pill boxes and put one feeding in each day, of depending on how much food you feed that may not work. Fish always act like they haven’t eaten in days lol

I feed Rod’s frozen food. I’ll have to break it up and put it in sandwich bags marked daily for her lol
