It only makes sense that the best dressed reefer would have “Tuxedo Urchins. 😂

squat lobsters and hermit crabs do the heavy lifting with the algae for me. I did have some urchins but they moved my loose rock around too much! I havent been able to find any urchins like the tuxedo yet. I'm limited to what I can catch, hoping to find something that will tackle a small amount of turf algae i have growing on some of my clams.

Acros need Iodine and many other to do well. My tank grows acros like weeds now that I follow the ICP test and make corrections to trace elements. Bacteria dosing with very low PO4 and Nitrates help acros a lot, IMO.

WOW I have been out of the game for a couple years, but I bought some corals from you a long time ago. It's awesome to see this tank today! I had my reef tank around the time you just started building the skeleton for this thing. Congratulations on overcoming all that adversity!

Funny you say kung pao and JF vino montis. I have both next to each other on tiles and they looked like crap for a while. After an ICP i saw that I had low potassium 340ppm. I bumped it up to 400 with no other changes and they looked beautiful again in only like 2 weeks or so. I confirmed these ICP readings with the Salifert potassium kit. Easy enough to maintain without going down the wormhole.

Amazing strides! Great to hear! And interesting info on the rain water treatment. Sounds like it invovles same things that big water treatment plants do. I assume this is to be self sufficient, versus relying on the tap water RO/DI filtered water.

The company that designed and installed the unit does municipal waste water treatment systems in addition to other offerings.
