I think most of us have very healthy systems without it. Many seem to use it to get thier xenia to pulse, but I have found with consistant high water quality most do very well without the supplement.

Maybe a type of leather. Hard to tell from photo. Could possibly be bird's nest as well.

Beauty, thanks!

Beautiful tank.

Shoot for 8.2-8.4 on the ph. Even slightly low or high is substantial. Salt levels around 1.023-1.025? If you don't already, it's a good idea to wave your hand over your corals to remove any buildup of dibris. I find even with a ton of water movement they still have a substantial amount on and...

Been a while since I checked in on this thread, tank looks fantastic Ace!

Took the words out of my mouth Greg!

Reef looks great. Be sure to keep an eye on that galaxia, it's surely in range to sting your frogspawn. It has an especially long reach. Good luck.

Sponges come and go all the time. It's not going to foul your tank. A crab is just as likely to die in some other unseen location, denying any oportunity to remove it. You'll never be able to sanitize your reef, and why try?

Great!

Thankyou very much, I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

The Remora's are loud at first, but after it breaks in it gets alot better. I'm not a big fan of the massive skimmer box, but the scum on the surface drives me nuts. I used a piece of plastic tube connected to the intake of the pump to pull off the surface film instead of having to deal with...

Hey all, I'm having a bit of a problem removing what I assume is hard water buildup on the water line of a large vivarium I've been asked to clean. I have managed to remove the heavy buildup with a metal scrapper, careful not to scratch the glass, but can't seem to remove the haze on the glass...

Good news Amp, congrats.

Congrats on the beautiful new livestock.

Many types of snails, and a crab I just discovered which refuses to come out of a rock dispite me baiting it with fresh fish.

Very nice Bob.

Love the pics everyone. My camara should be fixed in a couple of days so I'll be able to contribute. Good thread Bob, I'm always curious to see how everyone's tanks are coming along.

I hope I'm not one of the few that have had no need to dose. With a regular water change with a good quality salt and water source, I have had very nice results in my softie tank with close attention to consistant water params. I certainly would'nt question anyone's good results with dosing, but...

3 years? Wow Cat, great job!
