Just checked the fuge and there's like no cheato 👀 not sure why. Guess I gotta re-up! I basically use the same. Carbon and phosguard (occasionally) I also run purigen love that stuff. I was just thinking I need to get a huge wad of chaeto ☹️ Today is testing day and my phosphates are no bueno. I quit using purigen a year ago because I was always afraid my regenerating skills weren’t good and I was killing my corals. I try using more bacteria, stirring sand and basting rocks. Plus I let the nitrates hang out higher than most. 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess it’s just an Aussie gold. Looked back and it has a purple/gold mouth. Rarely seen unless I climb on a ladder. 1 Quote Link to comment

ECLS Reefer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Same it’s so eye catching. I’m eyeballing one of those and a hellfire as my next two torches. I’m hoping to add two more clowns to my harem and want to make sure they have plenty of coral to play in. But that it’s gorgeous too! 2 Quote Link to comment

Pjanssen Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Picked an Indo torch from my LFS today. Not crazy, but if it does well than I will start adding more stunners. Just wondering if you dip yours in anything like Coral Rx before putting it in your tank? 3 Quote Link to comment
