I'll swing .5 a day when my SPS are sucking it all up. So .5 a week is a walk in the park and in my opinion you should be fine.

I'd personally skip AFR if your demand is that low, just be consistent on water changes. Also your levels are fine, I run the same and have some colonies of SPS that do well. More important is stability than chasing a certain number. Also, I'd only vacuum the back chamber of detritus, algae...

Welcome! Great little tank you have there, I have the same exact tank but for freshwater, my only gripe is the overflow has no emergency so when the sponge is dirty it can really overflow. Are you city or burbs?

Wait, did you go back to bare bottom? Judging by the last pic that's an attachment.

Canar! It’s been a long time but i do remember your build, are you still local or moved away from IL completely? Times have really changed but that zero edge is still timeless, I think it would be awesome to setup even with big cons it comes with like crazy evaporation and a lot of work to...

Lookin good sawdonkey! Let’s see some full tank shots!

I keep pipefish and used to keep seahorses too. I’ve had the worst luck with the banded pipefish, probably since I have no access to live mysis and a small tank. But my blue stripe have been almost bulletproof. If you decide against keeping yours, shoot me a PM.

Went about a month ago. They're on the come back, new owners are trying but they can't fix overnight the destruction of years of neglect. Pretty good selection of fish and corals and reasonable prices.

I feed my fish the same nori I eat, no need to get for fish specific nori. And no fixed brands, I grab whatever catches my eye. You are right the selection is endless, so I'm constantly switching it up, fish probably like it too as they gobble it up. I do prefer unsalted and unfavored/colored...

As someone who consumes a lot of nori alongside my fish lol, I'd say toss it. It's cheap enough to get a new pack and it does get stale even if kept dry.

Seeing this tank in person blows away any pics sawdonkey can post (no offense lol), congrats on the new tank and awaiting for updates!

It's here!!!! I hear some of the big LFS names in Chicago can be hired to help, also they should have the right tools and equipment being this is their industry. Try TankItEasy, Old Town Aquarium, or Aquatic World to name a few locals.

Yezzir! I didn't think anyone in their right mind would buy a old Penguin powerhead lol

I'll contribute when I can, unfortunately I'm completely out of goldies and down to my prized koi now, not much to give anymore lol

Yes, koi pond is alive and well, almost time to startup the pond.

Lookin' good LatinoHeat! Glad to see you back, I feel like you were one of the first people I met when I got into the hobby in 2007.

Mitch/Booyah Clowns?

Welcome back! Your tank is a blast from the past and I miss those days, I don't see many Tunze Turbelle's and MH anymore when at one point in time they had an iron grip on the hobby. Seems like everyone now runs Vortech's or Gyres and LEDs, definitely keeping an eye on your updates, let's see if...

I am a TM user myself and am waiting to find out if my batch is affected and what their actions are. As of now I'm not seeing the brown residue but if this is why some of my corals are not coming out, I'm going to be in a world of hurt coming from 'Ol trusty Reef Crystals. Took a peek at the...

I had an Oceanic Biocube before Coralife bought and rebranded them. I think they're decent all-in-ones that are available literally everywhere with a few drawbacks you should be aware of: 1. The rounded glass corners are a PITA to clean. 2. Back chamber is tight and due it being so tall, is...
