i've been told the tank ships this week, with a estimated 3-4 ship time from Miracles. I'll be in Everett, Washington for the week with work, the hope is I return to find the tank has arrived and ready for me to pick up.

Maybe this weekend i can start on plumbing.....

Fingers crossed!!

Zero filtration! Just the live rock, powerhead and air stone. Just weekly water change. I stopped dosing too. My softies and LPS's have grown so much in the past two months.

I'm certain it's very nutrient rich water as I've had my two baby Blue Regals living in there along with a chromis. SPS's would stand a chance!

To ensure I'm really feeding a variety of foods to my fish, especially the Blue Regal Tangs, I'm going to try portioning out daily feelings into containers that can be adjusted depending on livestock. All portions are soaked in garlic while they thaw.
