This is not good for me. I'm already there way too often

Hey you're up and running already! That's awesome, you'll always remember the first tank 🙌 I agree with Blue Z Reef... I know those clove polyps are cool, but you have so much aptasia on that rock that your whole tank will be covered soon. I think it's best to pull it out and get another piece. For light, primes aren't too powerful. I had 3 of them over my shallow nano tank so I don't think you need to filter the light. I also agree with the comment on testing. your LFS (live fish store) can usually do some testing, but you'll at least need to get a refractometer and alk/nitrate test at a bare minimum, ideally also a calcium and phosphate test too. Keep your eye on the forum, a lot of times people are cleaning out there reef stash and sell test kits for cheap thanks for the shout out - best of luck!!

Awww *blushing* thanks!

Thanks Ethan! It was great meeting you guys! I cant wait to see your zombie garden soon 🙌

Ugh you've had the worst luck... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Just an app that guides lighting needs based off spread, mounting plan, and tank dimensions would be cool

Also - highly recommend the BRS series on you tube

I totally agree about adding some mechanical bio export. Without a sump I’d recommend more live rock, or a bio block or something. A lawnmower blenny is a good help, and agree with others about adding a tang. A good skimmer is a must. Read up on the options, HOB are riskier than in sump bc if the overflow they’re dumping water out of your tank which gets the floor wet but also causes your ATO to keep pumping and then you have a salinity drop. For me, these are the type of things that happen when I’m on vacation lol Also- what food do you feed? Sometimes that can make a huge difference in algae growth if argue almost every reefer has to battle algae at some point, so we feel your pain!

That frag browned out and sat dormant for a while before it even started to encrust. I thought of tossing it so many times lol

I think it was more lights + better skimmer

My SPSs have been growing SO slowly for years now, which is painful because I love them so much! I'm finally getting some things taking off and this is the most exciting one. I bought this frag well over a year ago and it just encrusted a ton and stalled out (original frag is the set of branches on the left) Bill Murray growth -> Dec 5th to Jan 20th Keep the faith friends!

Tank and skimmer are pending Lights and ATO still available

For you? Of course!

A bunch of those exact frags have sold, but some are left and I have TONS more zoas! I can frag probably everything on the list and have more not listed. I also have a bunch of ricordea florida and a yuma available

If you're also looking for T5s for the new tank I have 2 fixtures available 🤗

Bump - had a few people flake out on the lights, but the whole set up is still available!

If you're next in line you should go first

Great seller! My Red Sea 450 from you is still doing great!

I’d love to get in line for the handheld again.. new lights and new tank to dial in 🤓

Just things like this- supplements, beginner frags, etc that typically would have been donated to schools. For example I have a birdsnest frag and some cheato I can “donate”

While schools are closed can we do something where we instead help reefers in need? Like those on hard times or newbies?

Cuttlefish had a bunch of different small tangs 2 days ago

Bump.. these are the best T5 to bake some sps or light without shading!
