    Thank you! We actually picked him up from someone in one of the FB groups. He (she? I dunno) came from a 2 year stay in an established tank.

    Tested phosphates and nitrates today...Phosphates are at 0.06, and nitrates are 4.7 on the hanna, so that's pretty good....We tested about 3 weeks ago, and we were about 2-ish. Also re-organized the stand a bit, because it seems messy no matter how long we take to do wire management and cleaning up. Pulled the Geo 618 calcium reactor out, and hubby changed the uniseal. We flushed it out with fresh water because it has just been sitting since we took it off the 135 in 2019 when we broke that down. Now we just need to get a new ph probe, and fill the co2 cylinder and we can start to dial it in. A couple photos attached....including one of the sump frag tank.

    Cool - I love your GEO CaRx. They make very good & reliable products! In the long term, a CaRx will pay back dividends; and more importantly, it will stabilize your alk/ca with minimal maintenance. I’ve found that cleaning up gear is very therapeutic. I’ve managed to clean some of mine this weekend to free up space.

    Yes! It is pretty therapeutic. We swapped out an eb832 we had borrowed when ours went down. We fixed ours, and just never put it back online. So that happened yesterday, and now we can return the borrowed one. Of course, that meant re-doing wire management, dropping the mp40 controllers BEHIND the sump and fishing them back out with a coat hanger...you know, the fun stuff LOL. Thank you! The GEO was amazing when we had it running on the last big tank. It took minimal dialing in, especially with the planted tank regulator we have. Hopefully that still works when we are ready for it. It's just about time to get it going. Frags that were just encrusting and existing before are now shooting branches, so consumption is going up. Pics are all top down with the Avast porthole.

    Amazing SPS colors & growth - thanks for sharing! Your Walt Disney is looking gorgeous - I’m envious! I just got mine (for the third time) so let’s hope I won’t kill this one.
