Does it smell like success after the purge?
Yes it does. There are still some, but I'm certain the fish can keep up with them. Tank seems happy, parameters are falling in line with where I want them. Alk could be a smidgen higher...

But I'm gonna be ready to share the success soon if you know what I mean.

My fish and coral guy owed me cause he couldn't get a nem I ordered... I haven't had one of these since getting back in the hobby and I love them.
I will have the 90 up and running in a couple weeks. Until then it's going into observation in a 20 I have set up with real live rock from the gulf. Plenty to graze on and a good little system to observe until the 90 is done.

It has two things on it's mind, eat and don't get eaten, it will love the rock! :)
I hate sterile QT tanks... IMO why so many fish die in captivity. This one has a home all to itself while it gets used to living in a box, and lots of food. I can't wait to see it grow...

Awesome deal. I cant wait to get my fish up top with some rock. Before I had to banish fish to sump all the baby tomini tang did was pluck rock all day.
I'm probably going to order more gulf rock for second tank. I completely wiped my plants and macro algae out not knowing what im doing lol
