Looks really nice ... glad to see an update on your tank.

 

Thanks, Hognoxlous. This is a hobby that can be so unforgiving. I'm lucky my tank didn't crash. I can see why some exit the hobby prematurely. It's so easy to skip a water change here and there, and give up when your tank starts looking like crap.

 

Somewhere in between all of life's surprises, I finally found the time again to tend to my reef in progress.

 

 

Now, if only reefing were as easy as keeping this guy:

 

I've been raising my turtle---a Red Eared Slider--- for a good 10 years or so. Easiest maintenance schedule ever ---- 20% water change with tap water every 2 weeks. No dosing, no auto top off, no skimmer, no nothing!

Hi everyone,

 

Here's a quick update on what's going on.

 

Bio Pellets - I've waited up to the 8 week mark as per BRS's instructions, and my nitrates have dropped from 15ppm to 2.5ppm. I'm sold on bio-pellets, but you have to be careful using them.

 

Scolly! - Splurged and spent a fair amount (triple digits) on an orange scolly.

 

Next up, getting my nitrates to 0, and parameters in balance so that I can start adding SPS!

 

 

Cheers,

 

Millerman
