Our leaf wouldnt even eat tiny ghost ahrimp

equipment wise

You might get away with it if you are getting some bad a stuff

My only expierence with thwm is i had one which was cool then hid for like a week straight, thr only thing that eventually got him out was a much more bold smaller firefish, which they became inseperable

Im lazy too its okay, love the auto top off

Yeah honestly ive had alot of fun this build, and its the first time ive put every asoect if the tank together myself! Im pretty happy with the results

Thanks alot kim, if only the cycle would go faster now!

Woody hasnt been in the store for awhile, everything there is okay from what i heard tho hes not doin the best

From what ive read about cleaner wrasses and shrimp is ick is uneffected by them, i mean its inside their skin and gills and their not going to be able to pop white spots like zits to eat the bad stuff. Just what ive personally read

Haha i used skimmate on my parents banana tree in their back yard ha, figured what the heck the salt is outweighed by the liquid fertlizer basically ha, idk a full ecosystem is what im trying to achieve and i dont like calurpa, or chaeto so why not go all out

Thanks derbird, mainly i wanted to do a mangrove garden so theyd half to be out for misting and growth, i think its really pretty and adds anither aspect to our tank i love the idea of growing trees with fish poop thats recycling in nature at its fonest

Thanks, i need too but im lazy, except when it comes to the tank. Hopefully when your acros are better ill be able to get a frag or too :P

We're roomies ha, hes got his own tank hes got going to! our apartments going to be filled in tanks shortly, the girls arent very happy about it ha(wife)

oh forgot to mention the obvious part that the sump is outside of stand, the stand is pretty short, idc either way as long as i have a home for corals, it gives me a good look down into tank, either way though the skimmer wont fit in stand and only small sumps/tanks will, i had planned with the original refugium idea was have the sump out for extremely easy access and itll allow me to keep and eye on everything in the sump make sure its all in good shape, so the short stand ended up not mattering at all, it allowed me plenty of room to hide power cords, and my external gen x pump is in their to dampn the noise cause its not the quietest

Ive been in the hobby for nearly a year now and my plan is too have this tank be an SPS dominated tank with some LPS and zoos/ricordeas as well. I started wityh an awful 20g which i upgraded from quickly. at that point i knew very little and basically nothing of corals. My 150g that some of you may know me from was a huge learning expierence for me and definately made me a way bigger hobbyist, i spend my time now working/sleeping/eating/reefing-researching (nutty)!! The only reason i shut down my 150 was to move out of my parents finally!!!(whistle), im 20 so im a late bloomer but theres worse ahah but upon shutting it down i knew the next reef i set up would be much better, either way ive been working on this system for about a month and half 2 months now and its finally cycling!!!!!(rock2)(rock2)(rock2) equipment list -65 truvu purchased from Grassi, thanks again man, this tank is drilled for a closed loop, which was a big reason i chose this tank (it also came with stand which i sanded, repainted, and rehinged -2 250 watt MH, lumen reflectors with a dual galaxy ballast and radium bulbs ( im aware this isnt the best ballast for bulbs but it is energy effecient -standard 20l for sump, no baffles, i had another sump i was going to use but it ended up leaking around the bottom seals, it wasnt worth the extra effort for the sump so i just used the standard 20 i had which ill upgrade later -Gen x 30, for my main source of flow in the closed loop -2 koralia powerheads, one 750gph and one 1400 -Reef octupus skimmer, rated for 150g -reef octupus calc reactor, not sure of model -eco 1056 internal pump for my return -simple auto top off i found at Seahorse - BRS carbon reactor obviously for carbon and gfo, im going to try a single reactor for both unless i dont see results i want Future equipment plans -eventually i want to add biopellets too the system, ive been interested in them since i really started reefing with the 150 by seeing it when it was set up in Aquaman30k's hands was truely incredible, he had alot of really nice equipment but thats a piece i think added to his succes since hbow heavy he was stocked -DISPLAY FUGE!! this is the biggest upgrade i want to add to my system, its been part of the plan prior to even purchasing the tank, the 20l i planned on ussing for fuge ended up getting used as sump and now i need to upgrade sumps due to the lack of head it can take while keeping my skimmer at a good level , but i promise i will eventually have my mangrove display just give me time. This system i started with basically 95% dry rock from MarcoRocks which i used before for my part of my rock for 150 i really like this rock easy to shape very porous and now its wet i probably have closer to 100lbs or so from originall 75 lbs dry ordered, i also put in a medium size LR too seed the system. I decided to do just a small sand bed with coral rubble compared to my dsp in my 150 this is because i can have way way way more flow without the duststorm. My main plan for tank is small left island of rock will have LPS and probably my rics zoos and possibly another bubble tip, while the much larger rock work on right side will be basically all SPS FISH PLAN -3 blue chromis (in tank cycling) -one orange false perc, (which is my first fish ive ever owned hes about a year maybe older now including his devoloping period, his partner got eaten by a snowflake eel i bought, really stupid of me i know and now eels gone =/ )either way i want to pair him with a black and white false perc -3 firefish, for a second contrasting school to chromis -and whatever else i impulse buy hahaha for fish though im trying to go plain simple cheap and letting my corals do the talking [ATTACH]13060[/ATTACH][ATTACH]13061[/ATTACH][ATTACH]13062[/ATTACH][ATTACH]13063[/ATTACH][ATTACH]13064[/ATTACH]

They make meds just for sharks and rays, they csnt do hypo or copper, you either have to treat them and other fish seperstely

I know its extremely inovative

Still have the skimmer?

Awh sweet what ive been looking for a nice glass bowfront dog bath

Typically yeah over 250$ or so yoy get free shipping

my buddies doing a kessil for a biocube it has nothing but really good reviews, wont know in person until he gets it running

divers den on live aquaria though is some seriously good lookinbg stuff and when i do plan on ordering something online itll be from them

thats one reason i havent attempted an online purchase yet myself aswell for livestock[i guess just fish] atleast, well one time for a cuc from reefs2go and then i tried zoos from them. one set of zoos melted but 4/5 were alright and more then 5 polyps ea as stated. from those times i woudnt order from then just cause i didnt like the quality of product as well as they continouesly email me. but the cuc was awesome for price compared to local. for fish though i want to see their fins and behaivor, as wellas breathing first thats why i havent attempted them online yet

My maroons would hop from green to red depending on mood lol but always slept together in bigger red

if you ever break up package id be interestecd in fungias
