Good to hear the tank is coming back to life. The key to SPS is going to be patience, water clarity and flow.

Once your tank is up to speed on any re-cycle it may go through, then I would start looking to go with some LPS first...it tends to be more forgiving in my mind. It wouldn't hurt to go through a fish list on here as well since some of those little guys we like to keep tend to reek havoc on SPS.

PM me and we can get together for a brew to go over your plans.

End shot of tank from my favorite chair. . .



Ok. So I finally figured out the picture thing. I am S . M . R... T

It is painfully empty. Still trying to relight my contacts as far as supply goes.

Really open to any input on fish or corals. General feel for fish is strictly reef sensitive species.

Ok, So as it goes I got a Hammer and Torch Coral for an early birthday present from my parents(Yes I am old, but Im still their favorite), hand delivered no less.

Cheap Plug for Wai's aquaium in Calgary.
Now it is time for damage control. With the massive water change and cleaning I did comes the release of waste into the water colum.

Suprise Suprise! Im getting Filamentous Algae poppin up. My plan to combat it is a bunch of Phosguard, Carbon scrub, and new T5's (they may be a little rusty). I have a new 14000k 400w Hqi that is on the tank.

Looking to add some critters to help. Im thinking. . . Zebra knuckle hermits, Solaris Blenny, and possibly a few emerald crabs.

I would welcome any input.

Oh, and also building ATO System for RO top ups. Man Im going through a tun of water daily with evaporation.

Im looking to test a Staghorn Acro as my next coral addition.
