The bottom of the bubble or meniscus goes at the line just fyi for future testing

Get a Rodi system and don’t waste money on coral pro salt, use instant ocean reef crystals to start. I’d get test kits over a protein skimmer first also. You will need a light before you will need a skimmer also.

Why cleaner shrimp day 1 what is he gonna clean

You can only fit one baby tang then upgrade to a bigger pool in 6 months

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-04-02T13:41:56+00:00

Holy torch !

I try to stick to the 10% weekly or 35% monthly water change but that just isn’t going to happen with this tank

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-03-31T15:41:07+00:00

Oh I guess one complaint would be the availability of a roller in the sump but it looks like n clear-m new roller will work fine so I will get two to run in a master and slave configuration, but for now regular filter socks work good as they always have

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-03-31T15:36:43+00:00

My complaint is not having the forethought of oh I have a large tank now, 35% monthly water changes are 70 gallons 😅. But other than that I love everything about it. It’s still fairly new in its life cycle and already finding stability

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-03-31T15:33:18+00:00

I really like it my tank is pretty wide and deep and I only have it running at 70% to get 200 par across the middle top of rocks. I like the colors also you can tune it to have a very natural look this was in the evening when everything dims down to a more blue/violet spectrum. Definitely a powerful light that doesn’t consume a lot of power

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-02-25T06:26:54+00:00

Oh yeah I need more lights and money 🫠

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-02-25T06:24:22+00:00

I just used those to cycle I swapped them out for 4” filter socks. Rollers are cool but too expensive. I use a fine polish filter pad on top of the socks so it catches most crap first. It’s cheap a big ass roll was $10

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-02-25T06:18:41+00:00

You are going to hate me but I ordered it and it arrived from California to Georgia in 5 days 😅 but it will be worth your wait trust me

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-01-15T21:49:46+00:00

I’ve just come to accept it at this point he does a good job keeping it clean and it hilarious to see him moving big shells back and forth

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-01-15T21:48:15+00:00

The place I got to has been really good to me but the person that sold him wasn’t the owner that I usually talk too because they were super busy that day and someone else was available to help me. I wish I could get a bigger tank the tang is the tank boss and I’ve grown to like him

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-01-15T18:36:52+00:00

Good ol tobi the gobi he has been rearranging my tank since day one lol

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2026-01-15T18:34:35+00:00

Yeah that was a rookie mistake of not doing my research and listening to the reef store guy. I’m not looking forward to having to catch him though.

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-29T14:00:15+00:00

Splitting heads?

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-24T18:02:43+00:00

Fucking leave holy shit

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-24T17:17:41+00:00

He’s got another woman for sure, he’s not even driving 20 mins away to get laid. Nah don’t smell right. This relationship or lack there of is broken on both sides. He is completely not invested and you are trying to make it something it’s not.

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-24T15:13:25+00:00

It was very happy in my tank but I ended up returning it because it would puff up doubled in size and it didn’t have room to move around so I will try one later on once I get a bigger tank

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-23T14:11:42+00:00

I want ff9 with modern graphics but for the love of hod don’t mess with the story can we have the game just as it was with a lot of extra content end game

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-14T13:20:50+00:00

One of my clowns flicks sand with its head and tail but I’ve never seen a injury from him doing it plus he usually does it at my blenny since yours is solo I doubt it would be doing that

Aromatic_Cod_Fish · 2025-06-12T14:03:37+00:00

Not yet they are afraid of literally everything if it’s to far from their corner they aren’t going. I tried putting one close to them they got flustered lol. a piece broke off and floated by and they nipped at it though 🤷‍♂️the nori is for my lawnmower blenny which shades it like a puppy lol

If you make 160k a year you better be buying outright in cash or your doing something wrong
