I am so bad at testing but wife usually does it for me every 2-3 weeks , I try to keep it at natural salt water level, 7 dkh 420 cal and 1300 mag. water changes is done every 2 weeks some times 3. 35 gallons per change on a 140 total system. Dosing is done by BRS bulk chemicals. I don't dose much of anything else but I have a good stock of stuff that when I remember I dump some in. Recently I ditched the filter sock, getting sick of raising and washing. Lighting is a 8 bulb ati fixture. Bare bottom with shit load of flow (2 gyres, 2 tunze 6105, return pump is laguna 4800gph) skimmer is a bbk super marin 250. Lastly some marine pure bricks along with the new brightwell no3 brick.

Say what? Is this thread still active? Thought you shut down that tank months ago... and let's keep the language PG13 before I drop the ban hammer.

P.S. Can I come over for a $15 frag and ask you several dozen questions then try to low ball you for more frags please? Also... do you have change for $5?

I've found that there is a definite advantage if you can source your stock from someone who has a well established tank with thriving colonies. It's one less chance that you're taking. Rich's tank has been a well documented success story. His corals are hardy. I know if only a handful of people I'd ever source my corals from and he's on that list for a reason.

Can I come over for $15 frags too now?
