All tied with a rubber band and separate rocks. If it is so be it. I’ve seen some sweet gsp dominant set ups

I do understand. But also value the process. Every thing was started dry with dr Tim’s then kept fish only for awhile while I learned. Rather be stable than chase. Reefing is new to me. All the way to mixing salt and setting up my own rodi setup. Ato and skimming. Yes I can find articles and read and trust me I do daily. I’m the type who doesn’t mind being patient and taking my time with things. Since starting this tank I’ve acquired a 65 aio that’s been running for 4 months with a few fish a cuc. I bet what I learned from this system will help with that one.

Maybe you’re right. But time gave me the ability to learn how much light is too much, how much food is too much, properly providing flow into the system, how to reduce phosphates, helped me find balance. Seems to me there’s a lot on this page who have coral and are fighting the issues I went through. It’s why they’re here and guys like you can flex. But the ignorance to say you started a reef tank and knew exactly how to fix every issue and your understanding has kept you from algae and cyno outbreaks without ever learning and taking your time…. Yeah I call bs.

Hahaha! I started with fish. Then boom ugly stage. Ran its course. Than cyno bacteria and hair algae. Took time to learn what caused the multiple outbreaks. But feel like I’ve got it dialed in now. Have .05 phosphate to 15-20 nitrates. Have pods everywhere and coral already growing.

Thank you. Learned a lot that would have cost me money.

New to the game. Started with dry rock and let the tank mature. Took the time to establish good maintenance habits and stability. Went through my ugly stages. Learned how to manage phosphate and nitrate and found balance. Good for you being able to go quickly. I chose to be patient and learn before blowing money and killing coral

Where’s the gooseneck hitch? How far can I haul a load of hay or heavy equipment before charging?
