I love bengals
I see, yea I always forget to flush the ro membrane manually. The autoflush does waste a lot of water though but my neighborhood is a set average price
And the whole goni and no waterchange thing is a cool topic, but just read up on it again I could be wrong on the element people say it needs. I have seen them do well in my tanks back in the day when I ran tap water so, really who knows what's best really? Every tanks different in it's own way. My guess is if your feeding quality frozen or fresh food the gonis will do better than the tanks that feed pellets or have small fish loads, then they may need to use the element to help the coral forward.

Haha, if only your neighbors knew the percentage of water use you contribute to for the neighborhood. I wish I lived where you are!
Yeah, the demise of the gonis at least for me was oddly coincidental with dumping 84 TDS water in my tank for probably months. Luckily 2 of that gonis seem to be skirti2ng signs of a recovery. I'm hoping the other two follow suit!
I agree with higher fish populations and feeding the tank more overall with keeping healthy gonis.
Some updates. Its been a bit busy to post until now but I took pictures up to this point at least to document now.
1) Anemone lighting experiment still under way. Been almost a week... Not too much change yet under the T5s from LEDS since but I wanted to document adding the separating barriers. All anemones moved to the right of the box like they were running away from the red-phased CSB. [emoji23] I added the dividers to separate out CSBs, Infernos, and Reefwise Lemondrop.
2) Replaced my DIY Magnet cleaner frag rack in the display with a nice clean looking acrylic one. Its longer and doesn't jut out as much so I was able to hide it behind the rockwork.
3) Took a FTS. I know, scary! Nobody does FTSs anymore! [emoji14]
Still need to move a bunch of frags/mini colonies to the display to fill out the aquascape but just need to set aside a good weekend to be inspired to do it.
4) Frag tank looked nice the other day.
5) Colorado Sunburst under actinics
6) Ausie Gold torch under actinics

Since I started up this tank I believe. Only way I can still get a good across the tank flow without blasting my corals on the rocks in front of the powerhead.
As the colonies grow larger though, I may have to look into getting a gyre pump on either side of the tank to get my circular gyre flow I like during some parts of the day. The rest of the time I prefer random chaotic flow.
I do. [emoji4]

Best of luck man. I have a backup generator I bought 3 yrs ago that is still in plastic. Worst case I have it!

Thank you sir! Things are still looking good now but the temperature is slowly getting hotter outside.
I like how they expect the power to be out 2 days when its 100 out here in Texas this week. SMDH. If I wasnt on a propane tank at the house I would definitely install a 20kw full home generator, installed they are about 9k. Maybe if they run natural gas like they are talking about i will pull the trigger on it.
No kidding! I did get a bump up to tonight at 10pm, so things might be a bit more hopeful now.
A whole home generator would be nice!

It's a good thing you have a working freezer down the street! Turn off your ATO and top off with RO ice!
The forums gave me a good avenue to be a squeaky wheel. The minute I complained about not having electricity still at 9pm... 20 HOURS LATER, the electric company texted and said we have a green light... Or any light for that matter! We have electricity again!
Thank you... Oh thank you magic bubbling wand of life and its buddy, the $6 bait bucket bubbler from Wal-Mart!
Thank you ye old $3 mercury thermometer suctioned cupped to the glass to help me keep an eye on temps.
And most importantly, thank you my brand new generator, your awesome 1800 watts of life giving power... Letting me run my return pump, 2 MP60s, a small fan, and even my Monster Reef Octopus skimmer rated for 450 gallons... And the occasional recharging of my phone.
We survived... We did it. We are exhausted... Goodnight all and thank you for the well wishes and support.

Got some new goodies in the mail today. Here's some quick phone snaps of them. I'll follow up with some nice DSLR shots when I get my macro lens back from my brother this weekend.
Copps Lemon Lime Hyacinthus
I ordered a large frag, he sent a colony. [emoji54]
Copps Hulk Mille and the one I ordered the pack for, old school 20k lokani. I've been searching high and low for this old classic.
This pack from a fellow reefer:
BC shizo
West side purplishous
RR Red Bull
TGC Inner Planet
Jose Rainbow
Hungs Rainbow Explosion
The Hung's Rainbow Explosion is ridiculous. I'll let it settle and snap some pics with a good camera this weekend to let everyone see what I'm talking about! Its so nice, I actually saved the encrustment. I never save the encrustment.
