Thank you kindly! It's a 40B. I just had to overhaul my aquascape again because I had to capture a pair of cardinalfish that aren't looking well and need observation and for being slow swimmers, they sure were a PITA to catch. I ended up pulling out about half of my rock. *sigh* I might like the new scape a little better, but the flow pattern changed, so I'll have to screw with that tomorrow.I just saw this! Welcome to R2R first off! And Welcome to Reefing!
Tank is looking great so far. Can't wait to see more pics. Did I miss the size of your tank somewhere? LOL!
I understand.....I have caught plenty of pita fish including wrasses over the years....lol......Thank you kindly! It's a 40B.

Love the scape and the critters!!!!Here's my tweaked 'scape winding down for the night. I've been light acclimating the corals on the sand bed and will be gluing over the next day or two.

I also got my refugium set up last night, and am trying to decide if I'll run lights opposite the tank or 24/7.

And a few pics of some of my pals. Taking a photo of my dottyback is like trying to get a pic of a sasquatch. Haha.

They will and do pass once silicates are consumed. If you have a gravel vac clean the sand where they’re present when you’re doing your water changes.Everyone thinks they'll be the exception to the rule and not go through an ugly phase with their tank... This is hard to cope with!! :*(

The internet at large says to bear the discomfort of diatoms and that they'll pass. I need some reassurance!
I got the sand sifting sea star and two more alleged sand-sifting, diatom-eating snail species specifically to help with this mess, and they just aren't pulling their weight. Tell me it gets better.
Post bonus: red tuxedo urchin accosting my Duncan. Ugh.

The water pressure in my house is *horrible* so I can't get enough suction for my gravel vac.They will and do pass once silicates are consumed. If you have a gravel vac clean the sand where they’re present when you’re doing your water changes.![]()

I have a python gravel vac. It’s purely siphon. The sand just needs to tumble inside the suction tube when you’re cleaning itThe water pressure in my house is *horrible* so I can't get enough suction for my gravel vac.![]()
Tell me about it. If someone flushes while I'm in the shower, the water slows to a literal trickle. I've had the pressure tested at the main and it's fine going into the house. Somewhere, some pipe is throwing a wrench in my operation.Weird
