no luck with coralline algae, this is actually the first tank i have had barely any grow, probably due to the sps sucking up the calcium

You could try taking some scrapings from J's tank to see if you can seed yours?

Small favour, would you mind taking a few close ups of how the Euro-bracing is affixed? Do the end pieces overlap the long ones, or how does that work? Thanks in advance.

as posted in another thread i have been dosing to raise my parameters and didn't test. end result..

Ca- 460 (elo's)
Alk- 7 (elo's)
Mg- 1290 (safilert)
Ph- 8.1 (elo's)
salinity - 1.023 (refractometer)

Also talking to fishytime today and decided it time for some coral frenzy. See if that helps but also doing bi-weekly 5gal water changes using reefers best salt.

my bi-color blenny has gone MIA. loved that little guy

Anyone have any input on the Neptune Systems AquaController Junior? i have been looking into this for monitoring my ph, temp and using it as a timer for my lights. is its worth it?

K so my coral are starting to look alot better but in turn with feeding more it looks like i have a bit or cryo algae starting to come up. meh, easily dealt with.

but i need some advice, fish selection. For the SPS tank i need some reccomendations for fish. as of now i have:

tomato clown
yellow watchman's goby
bi-color blenny
6 line wrasse
yellow tang

i want to add a pair of firefish as well and maybe some chromis but what else would your guys suggest?
