Was referring to it's non Royal Exclusiv redness. It's length looks spot on!

Nice idea with the floating branch. Will take some time for that to pay off but I really enjoy the appearance of those...

Thanks for the feedback guys. Avoiding alk spikes def trumps savings. I'll look into your recommendations. Who sells blue bucket and AF in town? I only recall seeing red seas other 'pro' salt before.

Done with Reef Crystals

My new water is testing at 11+ dKH and the resultant Alk swings when I add to my tank are not cool. The SPS don't react well and the act of doing a water change feels like it kills any momentum I've...

Wish I had some words of wisdom for you! My own PE on a few of my SPS has not been good. In the past and even now, I have often had quite pale SPS. My nitrate tests show zero and so does my Hanna P04...

I'd just assumed you'd be immediately putting everything back together. Any reason you can't cycle in the tank? Easy enough to black out your tank if light is an issue.

Thanks! The leopard died about a month ago sadly. I think it was about 7 years old. My naso also just up and stopped eating shortly after. Went from pig to nothing overnight and a day later was gone....
