They won’t be phosrocks for very long if I get my way.

What @crusso1993 is referring to though is the fact that I'm dosing phosphate into my curing water and you're dosing e-phos!

I see. I can’t give phosphates away and at the same time I can’t buy nitrates in my system.

Yep, opposite! You've got softie dominant tank which LOVE nitrates. I've got very few softies and skeletal corals like both.

Indeedy I do. Once I get things settled down I’ll be adding much more stony coral. I still want SPS but it’ll be at least a few more months.

It’s only been a little time and the tank is resettling well. The new corals look like they’re getting comfortable.

And since it’s in my account info here’s the Pea Puffer tank after a pretty much complete overhaul. New plants sand , about ½ water change , new filter media to keep everyone happy. Oh and finally used the last piece of driftwood I had hanging around. I’m seriously thinking about getting that hood off and putting a screened top with a decent light added.

What new lighting are you considering?

Not sure yet. I’m looking for something that will grow the easy plants in there but won’t be promoting algae like the BioCube s stock whites do.
Plant list is as follows -
Anubias, Crypts a couple types, Sags, and Java Fern

Ok I made these 2 purchases. One is a Kraken replacement cover. I bought the optional evap cover, partly cause the little buggers are so small and a Hygger LED. Fluval had a really solid one, but I wasn’t gonna pay $130 for it.

Yeah I’ll check it out. Never used CO2 before. Worth looking into. At present the plants do get liquid food and iron several times a week and I dose with liquid carbon which isn’t perfect but generally works.Looks good years and years ago with the discus it was a planted tank and was growing well. Then I tried this in the tank and itwas like a jungle every thing wanted to grow It’s a can of co2 and you press it till the gauge is full in the tank and it slowly releases it. This omi I had never seen growth in plants like this every thing bright green and if you cut a leaf you could see the tiny oxygen bubbles in the leaf . Any way I can feel some discus love coming from across the pond to me at some point today. Happy Days lol

Discus came looking good. Acclimating as I send this off. Cardinals came in healthy but smaller than I expected. They’ve been in for about 24 hrs now.ASD delivery still out there. Supposedly coming today by noon. It’s getting close to the witching hour. We’ll see.

I had an interloper on my new live rock. What I’m assuming was a large majano anemone popped out after about 24 hrs. Death by lemon juice after pulling the rock.

I use a CO2 generator. You mix baking soda and citric acid together. On almost a 60g tank I refill it about every 6 weeks.
MagTool 4L Aquarium CO2 Generator System Carbon Dioxide Reactor Kit with Regulator and Needle Valve (4L with Solenoid)
There's also CO2 paintball tank setups too.

Although it may cost more I’d get a CO2 cylinder and a solenoid. Much less cost in the long run and a cylinder only needs to be retested every 5 years. Refills are cheap.

I'm considering a DIY for my work desk tank. It'll use the 8g CO2 cylinders.

Hopefully not DIY CO2.

No... It'll be the DIY CO2 kit. The cylinders are ready filled clean CO2.

Sorry to chime in we in the uk could get a plant called onion bulb but after some time you could not get them . You stuck them in the gravel at the back of your tank and they grew like reeds really good growers. Does any one have more info on them . They were really good for discus tanks
