DKoKoMAN’s 305g Basement Reef

So glad all is going well for you. Very jealous of your clowns. Mine totally ignore the anemones I got for them. Argggh.
Also I’ve seen them exhibiting what I think is mating behavior but I’ve never seen any eggs.

They usually will almost tackle each other when they display mating. I’m no expert in this realm but I always know my female is going to lay when she bites at the rocks. What kind of anemone do you have for them? I can’t take credit as these clowns came with my original 75g tank and with the ritteri anemone they host in.

On another note, I’m still hoping I will get some feedback on people’s WC intervals and amounts.

This guy surfed the whole tank as I cleaned the glass. Of course as soon as I’m done and put the magnet back he exits stage left

(Yes I do have a diatom bloom on the sand).

Today I was topping up my brute with RODI water and noticed my TDS netter went up to 1ppm before returning to zero. I have the Vertex Puratek and have had the unit for approximately a year. I’m just wondering if I should replace my DI resin? Should I replace the carbon block and prefilter as well? I have read the RO membrane is good for a year, is this correct? The DI resin is the original that came with the vertex unit and it appears that it is changing colors.

I have attached a photo of the puratek and the DI chamber to assist in identifying if I should swap it out.
