What’s the middle fish called? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got one! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my mp40 stopped working. I’d like a gyre anyways and just keep the extra mp40 for backup when it comes back from ecotech Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As said in the topic, looking to buy a reeflink. Checking the forums before I pay full price Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m going to pm you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I love reading things Tim shares. He’s so smart and explains things that even I can understand. [emoji23]. I also appreciate this thread. My new tank is going through the same thing. Not quite as bad, but I sure don’t want it to escalate. I began running GFO and also have an ATS that’s trying to get going. It does have some growth on it already. But I’ve never heard what Tim said about healthy corals competing with the algae. I thght I had to remove the algae so it didn’t kill my corals. I’m blowing the film off each day with a turkey baster bc it’s really making my zoas unhappy. Hopefully we will both have success beating this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Overflow so no pressure? But to be on the safe side, I try to wait an hour or so Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huh. Thanks. It uploads on my phone. Ill try to figure it out. Ugh. Technology. Lol. She’s doing great! I’ll snap a pic when I get home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wonder how my lemon drop will look under radions? [emoji848][emoji848]. We should test this ASAP! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yay! Oh it’s on now! Thanks Jen!! [emoji8][emoji8] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My goodness I need to touch base. So much has been going on. Working a lot. I can’t upload videos on Tapatalk and I suck on a computer, so I avoid the whole thing. ☹️. The tank is doing great. I have my skimmer on line and my ATS. My phosphates are high bc of my tds plus some of the very few rocks I brought over are leaching. I had to make so much water during the transfer, i depleted all my media. I’ll be receiving new filters as well as an extra resin canister from BRS tomorrow. I’m no expert, but I think this is why. I absolutely love the radions. I got my computer updated and the software installed correctly. Work great. I have some diatom issues going on now, but that can be expected. I had my rock cycling in the garage with a bottle of Dr. Tim’s and one of my rocks from my 55, but it was so dang hot, it may have killed all the bacteria. None of my corals or fish seem to be affected by it, so I’ll let it run its course I haven’t put my media reactor on line yet bc there is a Stars and Stripes puffer in my sump. He was starving at a LFS and I brought him to my bin. He’s healthy and now fat as a cow on all my zoas. [emoji35]. Awaiting transfer to his new home. Hopefully tomorrow . I am running carbon and Metabolix in a media bag until I’m able to install the spyglass where it goes. Love the skimmer! It’s a beast. May switch to an internal one someday just to free up space in my stand. I’ll try to get some videos. Jen is trying to reach me how. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s such a nice set up! Is it bc of the flood potential? There are ways to help with that. A tiny siphon break in the return like. Check valves in the return with unions so they can be cleaned and replaced. All the research I did said dont get check valves bc they fail. When I broke down my 55 I saw a possibility of why. The salt water eats rubber. So, if the valves are maintained and replaced every 6-8 months, that should alleviate the chance of flood. Atleast, that’s what I’m going to do, bc my sump won’t hold all my siphoned water. My return is 4” below the water line [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tys_mahal! I like that better! lol Oh man I need a piece if that!

holy mackerel!!!! So sorry to hear that!

Oh man! I love that cyphastrea rock! One of my favorite corals I’ve never had success with. The new tank will!! 🤞and also ready for another meet at the TAj mahal. [emoji6]. I’ll make sure I have a container for the lemon drop. [emoji7][emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha! Glad I’m not the only one that does that! [emoji51][emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on what king of media reactor you have, but basically yes. It tumbles. I’d strongly suggest researching how to lower you phosphates and nitrates in your specific size tank with you specific equipment. Would probably help your cyano Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dammit. There’s no love button! It looks great! [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you running GFO? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
