You could always try a small nano tank with some lovely soft corals and lps, reefing can be easy and even somewhat inexpensive if you keep things low-tech and simple.

I know how you feel, my tanked crashed after 4yrs and lost most of mine 😭

Hey man, thank you for following along all these time! You probably already know that you could set up a very respectable nano tank for under $400 equipment-wise. The smaller tank volume would also limit how much you would spend on livestock... perhaps something to consider? ;-)

Thank you guys very much that is very good idea I'll have to try that. I'll have to sneak it. My boss I mean loving wife was not very happy with the outcome of the last one lol.

where is lynn located in canada?

@@tomg8187 She is in Maryland. Reef Nerd Aquatics.

Thank you for following along!

HA! One day I would love to name a coral!

My wife would beg to differ, but thank you 😂

Good tip, thank you!

Thanks for watching til the end my friend! I have not dosed MB7 recently and never tried the MB Clean (does it work well in your opinion?). Recently my Nitrate fell a lot, to around 3.5 ppm. My Phosphate is still hanging out at around the .12 range... I wonder if running some GFO would help remove the lingering cyano?

I truly believe dosing Manganese (as per part of the Reef Moonshiners' adjustment) helped my Gonis; they were retracted prior for months.

I started out w/ AB+ but tweaked it to have more white, I believe I am at around 46% intensity at the moment and very slowly walking it back up. (I dialed it way down after the SPS crashed)

Manganese was the silver bullet in this tank. I honestly believe that was the missing element (literally) in my system. If you're local in the DMV area, I should have some frags in a few months, esp the Goldenrod and SI! (Willow may take awhile)

Absolutely, how did it take me so long to come across it 😆

AquaRocks single magnetic frag holder: aquarocksdesigns.com/store/magnetic-frag-rocks/set-of-three-single-plug-mounts/ A bit pricey but I love them. Alternatively you could also just superglue / epoxy the frag onto the back glass, but I do like the ability to move the frags around as needed. Sorry about your loss, btw

@@InappropriateReefer thanks for the reply I might grab that pack of 3 appreciate it

Once in awhile I do! Although I sold/traded/gave-away most of the easy to move ones already, so it probably will be awhile until the next round!

Thanks! typically: Alk 9.5, Ca 440, Mg 1400, pH 8.15 - 8.3; Trace elements-wise I follow the Reef Moonshiners' levels

Good heads up, thank you!

You are right, I kept thinking they are the every day leather and kept them down low. 👍

Let's see how it looks once acclimated!

Those would be super cool, thanks for the recommendation! Have you noticed any coral distress with the Yellow Clown Goby? I had one in the past in the 45g and gave it away because it was stressing some corals out. Granted that was a small tank with less coral selection. A pair of these would be super cool.

@@InappropriateReefer I only have a 12g so its only small too and my coral selection in it is pretty small atm too, the only coral it stays in is the acro, the acro hasn’t had polyps fully extended at all in the past week I’ve had it, but it has the yellow clown goby and an (good type) acro crab in it so I’m hoping it will be ok anyway, but because it’s still a fairly new tank the acro was bought with the idea it may not survive but will at the very least leave behind some nice branches for the goby to live in if it doesn’t survive 🤷‍♂️ so I can’t really say for sure, if u just got 1 then I’m sure ur acros would be fine coz u. Have some bigger pieces and I’m sure if it was constantly bothering 1 u could prob scare it to a different acro once a week or something maybe 🤷‍♂️ having 2 might make it more difficult if the try to nest on one particular acro, but again coz it’s are fairly big I think they should be ok, I picked a fairly big acro small colony so even if it bothered it it should be big enough to survive, I only found the acro crab after I’d had it at home for a couple days too 😅

@@InappropriateReefer I’ll send u some pics on Instagram 😉🍻👊

AI actually sent me those mounts along with the lights, I believe it's one of their prototypes. I _think_ those same ones are being released very soon if not already.. they go right onto the existing Radion screw holes.

Thank you for taking the time to dive in on this, I won't comment on the anti-biotic use yet because I think I need to learn more first before really trying to advocate for one side or another; but err-ing on the side of caution is always appreciated. I have read of people recommending DETTOL here and there but have not tried it yet, I am curious how it compares to diluted 3% Hydrogen Peroxide as an antiseptic? If it also kills the bad bacteria (goal), I would be interested in giving it a try in the future, thank you for the recommendation as well as the cautionary heads-up.

I stopped; for the Wall Hammer and Yellow Fiji Leather, I did 3 rounds of dips for the KFC dips. I did also try full tank treatment for the 135g when the SPS was dying (just Cipro, also 3 rounds), as well as the Mangrove tank when the Finger Leather reacted very badly to fragging (also just Cipro, 3 rounds). Each time the dying stopped by the second round.

Thank you, will contact you esp if I want to offload some Lyretails -- would you happen to be in the DMV area? I most likely will go for a tiny Hippo, or a different type of fish.

It unfortunately died last year. The tangs all played well together for a few months and I did notice the aggression started up again and the Purple Tang looked a bit beat up one day, it disappeared within a day or two before I got around to catching it.

Hey man, I actually gave / traded all the frags off the first round of fragging, sorry! I will probably be able to pull frags again in 2 months or so, please shoot me a DM on Instagram so I could flag it, or email inappropriatereefer@gmail.com?

Yes sir, Mocha DaVinci
