I've said it before, and after that recent video, I'll say it again...Inspirational! I especially like that you can see the rock structure, which by itself is pretty amazing.

That's crab, looks like she mad at you

[elsefailed]

i dont go to lfs except for water

they charge way to much

i used to troll around the so cal reef central selling forums

but now that my tank is so full i mostly just sell corals on that forum

update

 

left for a work trip and came back to a broken sump light (crashed sump) and half eaten tank

the lil bastard clown goby ate everything in such a short time

so i had to take out all the rocks to get the lil bugger out and lost %25 of the corals and almost all acans!

 

the tank is healing up now but im guessing itll be atleast a month or two before shes back to stable and the rockwork has been changed up as well

 

ill shoot a pic when the tanks presentable!

[CoolNameGoesHere]

man, i'm sorry to read the bad news! the tank looked fantastic. i aspire to get my 40br to look half as good as yours. but if you got it to that level of awesomeness once, i'm confident you can get it there again.

 

quick question about your maintenance: did you dose anything? any idea what your calc/alk/pH levels were at?

 

another question: for your mp10- why lagoon mode instead of reef crest mode?

 

thanks for any response. i look forward to seeing/watching the latest reincarnation.

[elsefailed]

i have recently dosed small amounts of sugar everyday

it really helps my skimmer, ever since it has been skimming amazing!

 

i have no idea on levels i havent tested the water for years

if anything ever happens i reduce the lighting period or do a larger water change

sorry im no help there

 

i use lagoon mode and reef crest, i just hate how reef crest is so loud but the wave it makes is pretty cool

lagoon mode is nice an relaxed so it dosent stir up the fine sand i have

[quickfinger]

Your clown goby ate your corals??

[elsefailed]

yeah that bastard ate all my acans, other random lps

he starts at the base and works his way to the center

That FTS is really wonderful. Great photography.
