Hey Canreefers, hope everyone is having some good holidays and getting ready for the boxing day LFS specials.
I am enjoying some time off work now as the restraunt is closed for a few days now. Dez (Des) was down from edmonton and had the chance to drop by my place to check out the tank after a bit we hit up golds as they got some new SPS in. i picked up a few cool pieces, 2 monits a purple and green along with (fingers crossed) a pic of the crab or shrimp that i am trying to catch, so i got a pyrex measuring cup and i placed it in the tank along with two reef discs with some nori and crushed dry food and a few pieces of brine shrimp sandwiched in the middle. its in the tank now, and the lights are off, so well see if there is a catch in the morning. |

Tank looks really great how often do you do water changes and how much if you don't mind me asking?

Hey John tank looks awesome but I expected nothing less. This is going to be a stupid question from a beginer SW but........ what is the purpose of the carbon? I have asked several different people what all should be in the sump and the only answer i really have received is some sponge to catch larger debri. You put it in your filter sock I am guessing. I know it is highly nessesary in FW have used it for years.
