as the title says, thanks ~

i dont know how i feel about spending 2k on a return pump. ive been using L1 for over 5 years now and its still going. i could buy 3 for 15 years and still have money left over. i could see it if money wasnt an object but even then i think i would rather run 2x L1/L2 over 1 of these.

The recommended gfo needed for my tank is 1.5 cups, Im just adding that amount slowly so they dont fall too quick. generally i test once a week and mag once a month, but when im adding something new, like gfo ill test every 3 days and monitor it. I added 1 cup this sunday so hopefully end of the...

I'm not dosing anything right now. Tanks like a month after cycle. The ugly stage just left. That was basically the question. Since the tank has nothing, I start dosing? Or like give it a few weeks and see what happens? I did add 1/2 cup of high capacity brd gfo

*Update* yeah totally fucked up typing before, phos is 0.29, up 0.01 from last week. is that still too high?

The BRS calc is saying 1.5cups for my size, but im gonna do what you say. ease it in slowly and let it drop over time.

Thanks for the input, I'll add some gfo. That came Friday I totally forgot to add it.

thanks for the response. this is the first batch, so everyones super excited. right now they are in the holding tank. still havent decided if we wanna keep this up after the first batch but i would assume the next batches will be in the main tank so will probably leave it be, i do care, just not...

Setting up a new tank, put everything from old tank into a 40g breeder holding tank. New tanks been cycled and I've already moved the tangs to new tank. Been trying to move the clown fish over when I say clown fish eggs on the rock. Now I don't know what to do. A quick Google search says their...
