Added two bedrooms, a bathroom, a family room and blew up the kitchen and expanded it a bit. Lots of new space so I can fill up the old space with fish tanks

The fish and coral are handling the home construction like champs!

Yep, gotta have a automatic backup generator. My power goes out randomly for no reason.

I did have a container with sand for a while and she would kick all the sand out, I refilled it and she kicked all the sand out in one day. So, she just lays in the bottom of the container with no sand now. The container is fully encrusted on the sides with coraline, but is open on top. It has been like that for a couple of months and she seems to be happy.

I made a change to my tank a few weeks back that I thought was note worthy. I was having trouble keeping some colors on some of my acros (not all) as well as had trouble with some discosoma and rhodactis shrinking and zoas fading away. I had suspected it may be related to bio pellets and have had that suspicion for a while especially when it came to certain mushrooms and zoas.

Well, I let my bio pellets totally deplete and did not refill them. Within a week, I saw some colors coming back, especially greens and yellows and some purples in acros. It has now been over a month and the acros are really looking good.

I guess the bio pellets out competed some of the corals for something, nitrates and phosphates were still measurable when I ran the bio pellets. My plan is to continue without bio pellets for now and see what happens.

Wait! I thought you were growing it out for me!

Hi Nathan,

How are the renovations? Are you still running your tanks without bio pellets? is so did you switch to anything else to remove nitrates and phosphates?
thanks
