The most expensive stick I bought was $75 and it made me sooooo nervous. Still does... Let's just say imma name it King Midas... 1 Quote Link to comment

They'resuch a large piece of equipment to have in the DT and I hear they need regular cleaning. I highly recommend the Nero and I've owned jaebo, mp40s, Tunze, current USA you name the powerhead. Nero is by far my favorite. As for heaters I just picked a big external controlled one on Amazon with good reviews. Heaters are heaters. The technology behind them is old and standard so you can't really mess up with a heater haha. Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Honestly this is sort of a poopy pic. I rescaped and remounted King Midas so when he's less pissed off and the tank fixes itself I will get some MUCH better pics. 5 Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Really excited about my rescape. I'll hopefully get pics tonight. This is by far my best attempt at keeping coral and healthy fish. Been doing saltwater since I was 10 and never had it quite right until now so I'm stoked! Especially since I'm in a part of my life I can splurge on coral it's been fun 😊 Updates to come! 2 Quote Link to comment

I am using two Actinic bulbs so not much growth expected but I LOVE the POP it gives for the coral. I rely on the 4x pucks for the main lighting. My Royal Blues are at like 89%, Cyan at 30%, Violate at 55%, and White at like 8% lol. Quote Link to comment
