Not to mention you're going to see a visible difference in the SPS when they're bug free.

I'm getting tired of fuzzy sticks.... they are boring, grow too fast, suck calcium up like there's no tomorrow and they don't seem to care whether they live or die :razz:

I'll still keep frags of my favourites but I'm turfing out my angels and a bunch of rock and will be leaning more towards lps in the future

Grow too fast? You're not going to make many friends with complaints like that :lol:

Sad thing is she really isn't kidding, takes me a year to get the growth she gets in 24 hrs. And the colors are spectacular, pics do this tank no justice.

P.S if you really are thinning out Marie I would love a frag of that teal stag you have, a rogue crab took my last one and hid it under a rock (that rotten SOB) he has expensive taste, when I catch him he gets to visit the Snapper.

Gorgeous tank! So you don't use zeo or anything and don't do water changes that often and that is the result I am very impressed. Do you dose anything at all then? And what is your secret lol I have been struggling for a year now and can't seem to get any growth lol. Well nothing like yours anyways lol

marie 01-03-2012 05:07 AM

Today I did the first water change in 6 weeks, I add 1.5 l of kalk/vinegar saturated top off water and 250 ml ea of cal and alk daily which isn't enough as it turns out. When I tested today (for the first time in 2 months) my alk was at 3.5 DKH :redface:
