Green Palys that just won't die

[reefwithareefer]

Tank is looking good. I have those green palys as well. All the things I have done to mess up my tank and they are still around too.

[Wretch]

Well it looks like my Elegance is on its last legs. I think I am gonna give LPS a break and stick to SPS as they seem happier in my system.

Yesterday it looked like this.




Now it looks like this.

Well after having a chat with Rich I have decided to take my gfo reactor off line and go with all in one biopellets. My nitrates are a wee bit high 10ppm I did a bit of reading online about them last night and seems people are having good success with them. My phosphates are unreadable right now so I took my gfo out and cleaned the reactor getting it ready for the biopellets.

The only place I found the all in one biopellets was reef supplies.ca. Since I was going to have to pay for shipping I figured might as well get some other stuff. So I ordered a tunze long cleaning magnet and a rw-8 as well. Ended up with free shipping which is good I think.

[Wretch]

Well all my stuff from reef supplies.ca showed up today as well as my chauvet power bar.



I couldn't wait to use the tunze cleaner as I hadn't cleaned my glass since I ordered it. The glass is as clean as it was when new, just about. Great product. Thanks Rich.



The RW-8 is in the tank as well right now, as you could see in the above picture. It is currently kicking up a huge sandstorm and my tank is all white.



Great flow, was a little noisy when it first started up but quietened down now. Getting this powerhead allowed me to take out koralia 750 and a WP-10 which I promptly broke while cleaning. So off to fish-street to order some parts.

The AIO biopellets are soaking in water for 24 hours before I get them on line. The instructions recommended 50-200ml of pellets per 25g but I started with 50ml. I figured I will run for a week then add another 50ml then check my numbers.

As for the power bar I am currently thinking about building/buying a box I can install both of them in outside my stand. I may still mount them in the stand but I can decide how to mount them in a way I like.

Awesome sauce!
