Sorry about his eye, I'm not sure what to suggest on that one. Medication maybe in a hospital tank?

As for the NO3, have you ever thought about using Taylor Aquatics Nitrate Destroyer?

Ok....nitrates wernt high( not that 15 is that terrible). The nitrate test kit I was using was a left over from the fresh water days. I picked up an API ( not the best I know but, no salifert so...) and it tested out twice at 0 (surprised me actually). So this leads me to believe the swelling is the result of an injury. I dont know if all regals are like this but mine does this "happy dance" after a feed where he rips around the tank in top speed bursts. He has made a couple sps frags for me this way so this is likely when it happened. Removing the tang for treatment would be a huge undertaking Everything I read seems to suggest a week or two for a healing time. Its been a little over a week. I hate seeing him like this

I finally got the tunze ato set up (after much head scratching over the instructions, or lack there of). I really like how it works. I had to break out the dremel and modify the trim on the inside of the sump to get the mounting bracket to sit correctly. Other than that, the tricky part was the clamp assembly on the mounting bracket. Better instructions would have helped big time here. They must have the same instruction design team as Ikea.
I also added a second TLF phosban reactor to run carbon through. I had been running carbon in a media bag in a Aquaclear HOB filter on the sump but that was noisier than the entire system. I am gonna give the rowa-carbon a try.
Annnd I switched out another couple bulbs. I didnt like how yellow the geissmann midday bulb made the tank look so I swapped it out for a geissmann actinic+. I will know how I like it tomorrow as I made the switch after the lights went out tonight.
The regal isnt looking any better

Heres some new TD clam shots for the junkies out there
