You’re gonna get hooked!!!

Lol.. doubtful but ya never know.

I hear ya on the body load. 3 people plus a big dog in a small house constantly. I can see it uptick if we all leave for a few hours. I tried hooking it up to an outside line, but only saw a .1 improvement. It’s a smaller skimmer, though. So maybe the CO2 scrubber will be more efficient. Fingers crossed. I’ll have it up and going next week.

 

[VegasReefer]

Yep, same. Lots of fur-friends and family. I use kalk to boost the pH and the co2 media to keep it there. Then, during the day I cut power to the skimmer when it goes above a certain pH value. It makes it really easy to dial in a pH if that's your thing. Not an option for all, but I have a hard time keeping nutrients up, so the skimmer shutting off isn't an issue.

Mine are very low but steady as I went the zeo route.. so far so good! No3 around 10 and my po4 is at .034. I’m trying to raise that with reef roids

I bet if they offset that stick habit you'll have a change of heart, lol.
In a large reef zoas can get lost until you have a massive colony. Corals that grow off the rock scape usually win out in large systems since they create a more dynamic view from a distance. Makes sense to go with sticks and can't wait to see it fill out.

Update on the nem… it’s not looking good but it’s still alive for now.. ugh… got a acclimation box coming today and gonna put it back in the display and see what happens.. I’m not feeling good about it but hey what ever.. is what it is!

 

[Troylee]

Got the box and moved it back to the display.. it’s still alive so that’s a good sign I guess..

 

[Troylee]

Nem is still hanging there… it actually split and I’m guessing the smaller piece will die unfortunately rrrr… in other news I’m getting 2 wrasses in the next couple days to add to the fun! A blue star leopard and a yellow tail checkerboard! Hopefully the yellow tail does well with my yellow corris cause I hear there is risks… pics to come when I pick them up.. a local friend is taking his tank down so they’re well established and clean fish!

Zeo update! It seems to be working well I believe today is day 14 and my water is still super clear and I’m starting to see much better growth on the majority of the acros.. still have a few stubborn pieces that just don’t like to grow haha!

 

[Troylee]

Grabbed a few pics.. not sure if the last one is a enchinata or not? I was told it was when I got it but I don’t believe it is..

 

[Troylee]

Got my blue star leopard wrasse.. backed out on the checkerboard after talking to a couple wrasse experts.. I did pick up an insane torch thou! Tsa holy mole!

 

[Troylee]

New addition is a little shy! Best picture I can get for now! He’s pretty cool I must say!

 

[Troylee]

This thing aaaahhhh lol… one day it’s inside out and like the size of a peanut m&m then the next day it’s puffed up! It does have some tentacles growing back finally so I guess that’s good!

Thank you! Me too! Obviously haha! Yesterday I was gonna pull it cause it looked horrible! Then I come today and it looks like that! Rrr lol..

 

[Troylee]

I let this thang outta its cage “2 days ago” since it wasn’t happy.. it immediately went under a rock where it’s dark so I can barely see it till the afternoon sun comes in and hits the tank.. looks to me like it’s doing okay so time will tell..

 

[Troylee]
