Whew, just finished reading. I'm exhausted. Nice to find your tank accidentally on big-tank forum, only to find out you're an hour away. Cool stuff. Next time I do something with mars, hopefully I can meet ya.

Great job on this tank. fantastic.

Thanks for stopping in on the thread. I am always up to meet up with other reefers

Well, we both live in BFE. He's about 25 mins from me. On the other hand, Richard lives beyond BFE :lol:

Or posiibly got the other route and do a chalice only display

 

[bladeruner143]

That would be great!!! Although I can't really see you getting away from the sticks! Are you going to go check out the Auction this week?

 

[mpoletti]

You know me well Rudy I'm taking another tank though.

No auction for me; I'm pretty stocked up. In fact, I need to do some thinning out. I'll be posting some goodies over the next week

 

[bladeruner143]

I just saw the wrasse you posted! :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: I can't believe I missed that! I need to head over and check out your tank again one of these days and have that long over due additive talk

 

[mpoletti]

There will be more spring cleaning coming soon Rudy. I am just tired of looking at the same corals. I want to change up a couple things in the upcoming month or two.

Sorry Jay, no more pictures for awhile. I might post pictures of things I add along the way, but I just want to relax with the pictures for a bit and let things grow in.

Hey Mark ive been wanting to ask you do you use a phosphate reactor at all, and was also wonder if you are dosing anything or just feeing your fish/corals. If so how often are you feeding.

Yes. With my fish load and having a sand bed, I still have my PO4 issues so I still use media reactors. I just tested them two nights ago and they were at .08 per my hanna. I am also trying to lengthen the time in between waterchanges as the summer months are approaching and sometimes the motivation for reefing is not the same.

I have been using prodibio since the beginning of November. Besides that, I like to feed my fish twice a day. I also really like the reef nutrition brand of food for the reef.

I liked this picture even though it was nothing fancy

They are in the breeder together as we speak; divided by some eggcrate. I wanted to give them a couple days of seeing each other before I pull the egg crate. I also thought I pull the existing joc to add them both back at the same time
