WARNING! The following post is about reefing!

Since Frank’s Cafe seems to attract a lot of attention, I thought I’d post this here.
Brand brew product that debuted in Denver. Looks like good quality with promising results. Definitely better than swapping socks. I’ve seen a couple of very good reviews. Thought some of you might be interested.

this actually seems pretty cool if it works.

Currently using poly fill and some ceramic bits in a cup.

Already invested. But would consider these if the microns were 5. I still use 5 micron every now and then. Suggested by @LRT .

Dirty in a day. Clean maybe next week.

My understanding is that they do have a 7” model. I’d contact them.

Actual reefing question.

Fully grown mixed reef. 250 gallons.

Add a blue spotted puffer/saddleback(or angel), keeping it well fed. It decides it likes coral to eat sometimes.

How bad would it be really. Could pace out compete the fish eating habit and just let nature happen?

Asking for a friend who has an angel and maybe his wife likes puffer fish.

Like if you dropped a little puffer guy in the Frankentank. How bad would damage be.

I see. They will eat the same coral all the way gone. Not buffet it with a little here and there.

Flame angel has been happy so far no issues.

Puffer could be bad I guess
