Beauty. Got a juv. myself that I'm hoping will remain reef-safe (has lived with corals for well over 6 months already).

hes almost 8 inches .. and he likes my corals for sure. i think if you get a juv and feed them prepped food they are less likely to eat your polys and such. ive already had to move 2 pieces to my nano as he was using them for a buffet.

Bon Accord or as I've heard it called, CFB Bon Accord, lol. So much Military here :smile:
That's all you can do with it for now, just let it cycle. You didn't by chance by the JBJ system that was for sale in Gibbons did you?

only draw back to living up here is the long drive to the south side .. they need some LFS up this way

YUP!! It's quite the drive. There'll be a good one opening soon on the north side. Going to be able to make it to the fragfest? Hope to see you there.

Yup, 12-5 on Sunday.
Your tank will probably still go through a small cycle so I'd give it a few weeks before trying anything else. Just make sure you levels are at 0. I don't add supplements to my tank unless calcium or alk need to be adjusted. Others do add supplements so it's really up to you if you want to add anything. I want to try some but I'm confused as well what I want to start dosing :neutral: Others who have more experience with supplements could chime in and help. I'd post a new thread in the reef sub forum to ask.

Looks good and everything looks happy. Rock work is a big pain for me, I never get it the way I'd like.
