Evening shot. Looks like I might need a bigger tank?

I say go bare bottom and let the floor be all the shrooms!
I’m contemplating that idea - get rid of all my SPS frags on the 90gal and convert that into a mushroom tank. However, I got 2 gigs in there that will need a lot of flow. So.. *shrugs*

These nems look so nice and all under one Ai Grow? Glow?

Per bare bottom discussions above that sand bed might be creating a lot of micro fauna and probably keeping that tank balanced.
AI Glow 39” - the tank is 48” wide.

Agreed - definitely keeping the sand in this tank. Things are super stable so not touching it. I dose 5mL/day of alk and do a 5gal WC every month.

My other 90gal frag tank is BB and stable. I could do a gravel bed for mushrooms. I might do a tray instead but dealing with possible flow issue. That tank has 2 x MP40s blasting for SPS frags.

Cool. That’s the most rewarding feeling about this hobby, right?

I will take those gigs off your hands to make it easier for you, lol.
Sure - if you can find a creative way to revive them from the dead -- all powers to you! lol

I'm gig-less now as you know... I might buy a red Haddoni soon; maybe your "pink" one if you're bored? ;)
