Thank you.

Awesome stuff, are you running any pumps for phosphate. I cant seem to be keeping corals and i think my phosphates are my biggest problem!

Thanks. No, I'm not doing anything for phosphates yet - no GFO. I might start adding some nitra cubes in the near future, now that I have some fish in my tank.

I'm a huge fan of the foxface. My favorite.

Oh neat, I really like the fish as well, will do my due diligence on it then.

Very nice, like i said i started to go reef and lost some corals. Mainly due to phosphates i believe. So i am now adding a phosban reactor.

I really like the new fish list, and good luck with the copperband! Have you started restocking at all yet?

How did you phosphates get? Mine are at 0.02 ppm as of today.

Thank you. I'm somewhat sceptical about the copperband, but I've added a blue (hippo) tang and a yellow tang last week. Both have been quarantined for over 4 weeks and treated with cupramine. So far so good.

That's really good!
Mine sits at .07-.08. Not too bad, but not good either. The only place i have any algae growth at all is a couple small spots in the frag tank of all places. And I have to clean my glass every other day to get the dusty stuff off.

Neat, considering that I'm not using anything to actively remove phosphates I guess that's not too bad. My Nitrates are at 1 ppm, but I do get a fair bit of green bubble algae in my tank (no other algae issues so far, knock on wood).

The two fish I've introduced into my tank are a hippo tang and a yellow tang. The aquarium remained fishless for over two months, so I'm glad to see some movement in there (shrimp don't quite count).

Enjoy the video as well:

Hey wondering what you have you vortechs set at?

Hi, they go through 5 different modes through out the day including Lagoon, Reef Crest, Nutrion Export (twice) and Tidal Wave.

Really appreciate the kind words, thanks.
