    Yes I ended up buying 2 of the ALK reagents last time "FYI be careful with the reagent bottles as I have had multiple leak once opened..happens when case is laid flat. You want to stand case up so the bottle is vertical"

    It is amazing to me how much more attention the smaller tanks require regarding chemistry. As you stated manual dosing just was not working for me either.

    Keep up the nice work!

    Thanks so much for the tip Chris. ;););)

    Just ordered 3 bottles of reagent because it's hard to find.

    Both clams have attached to the bottom of the tank, both are happy as clams and looking splendid. Carpet anemone doing well, moved about a foot, still have not figured that one out. Some of the sps got burnt tips from alk swings, hence dosing pumps this week. Rastas have finally opened. My days of manual topping off are over yahoooooooooooo.

    Last thing to do is mount the T5 fixture.

    Hi Mindy.

    I got a Cook Islands Maxima about two weeks ago, it's a beauty for sure. My only issue is that both clams want to be in the sand bed no biggy, but they positioned them selves parallel to the front pane of the tank so you're stuck with looking at them from the side, oh well, they're happy I am mostly happy. :D

    I will probably get a Squamosa and a Derasa in the near future just to round it out.

    It really is almost time to sit back and let it all grow.

    Sigh, yep Liveaquaria is a bad place for me.

    Got my ORA Derasa, and the ORA Red Goniopora, I really like the movement of Goniopora, this coral adds a lot of color as well.

    No more, well except for the Squamosa and a Montipora Danae and then that is it!!!!!

    Oh and I placed all my frags today, so no more frag rack, BRS coral glue gel is the bomb, much much easier to work with. Coralline algae is taking off big time.
