Update: Foxface was taken out of QT and is in DT. He's looking good and doing a great job finishing off the left over hair algea. I've gotten a little algae bloom from the new MH's but not to bad. I'm still increasing the lighting time of the Halides. I'm trying to work slowly up to 12 hrs of...

Thanks I loved that sun coral too. I lost it when my tank overheated last summer, along with other corals and multiple fish . That pic was a couple yrs old. I still haven't found another sun coral like it. All the ones I see anymore are looking rough. I think these LFS's don't know they need to...

I have a ATC Refractometer and I'm not sure what number scale to go by and I'm getting confused. I usually mix my salt to a SG of 1.025 and the salinity scale usually shows 35. When I test my tank water it shows 1.025 and 33 ppt. Why the difference and which one should I go by. I think I'm...

Thanks mie, I actually have a canopy for it that I built. It just doesn't fit anymore with the new light. I'll probably build a new one at some point.

Heres the new suspension system for the light. Looks much better than the 2x4's holding it up

Thanks scopus its been a long road and still have more to go to get it to where I want it. Got home lastnight to find my Lawnmower blenny dead. I've only had him in the DT for about 2 weeks. He was in QT for a month and wasn't eating much. He ate for the first week or so and mostly ate the...

I really think keeping it in the house is your best bet. I personally wouldn't put mine in the shed. Not 100% sure if I'm right on this but I think the hot water will pass through the membraine easier and possibly let some impurities pass into your filtered water. I know that my filter puts out...

I run it in my tank for about 3 days a month. I will also run it for a couple days after I add a new soft coral. I've heard about doing this somewhere on this site. I quess it helps to absorb some of the toxins that soft corals release when moved or when they shed like toadstools do.

Very Nice!! I like the toadstool how big is that freakin thing. From the pictures it looks like at least 12in across Keep up the good work

Heres another picture from the past

Oh I forgot to mention the algea still on the one rock. I left some on there because I didn't want to scrub every rock and risk starving Algea blenny since he doesn't like the dried up stuff. Plus it gives my Foxface something to munch on too

So what ya think? It's been alot of Money and work so far, I'm slowly adding fish back into the tank. I currently have a Sixline Wrass and Lawnmower Blenny in the tank. My Foxface is almost ready to go in he's in the QT for now but is doing great. I really liked my old one and can't wait to get...
