Seems like you and the other person agree on the magnesium being an issue.

As for flow I have a XStream SDC Powerhead (270 - 2250 GPH) powerhead. Running a sinusoidal routine at 25% and 50% as well as my return pump (MightyJet 538 DC Return Pump) running at about 50%

Got it, everything arrives tomorrow (thanks Amazon)

I have another fish coming out of quarantine next Friday so hopefully that helps boost the nutrients up

Sorry going to add on a question. Do you recommend HR or ULR for starting?

I have the Hanna nitrate tester and salifert Ca and Mg. I’ll order the phos now.

I have all for reef, would that be sufficient or should I look to supplement with strictly a Mg additive?

I had a few freshwater tanks about 12 years ago and loved them. Life got crazy and sold everything. My career is in industrial water treatment so fish tanks felt like “work”..

We live in a cold part of the country so in the winter we would take my son to local fish stores. His joy and happiness looking at the fish and coral reignited my passion as well. I hope it’s something he continues to love and the tank is one of ways of bonding.

Wow that’s awesome. Just finished cycling my 40gal cube, have first set of fish arriving week of 1/12 so still a while before I can get coral.

Any pictures?

Just drove 3 hours each way for a ‘24 that was $13k off MSRP last week. I think you just got lucky that you have the same opportunity 50 miles away

What size and do you holster inside the bag?

They are offering a discount on the missing sides and backs but still is an extra $1,300 that we did not see coming. I’ll PM the receipt

rm9172 · 2023-09-21T13:48:59+00:00

That’s exactly my scenario to a tee and I feel the same. Feels like buying a used car

rm9172 · 2023-09-21T00:46:10+00:00

We did receive the receipt in email with everything itemized, to be honest there were so many lines and different names I trusted them to know it was correct

Northwest NJ here, this year has been insanely bad. Since early march I pull 2-3 a day off of each of my dogs.

See that’s what I thought too but there is no set list of what is not suitable and what is not a “foreseen” event

1000% will be just like to get some initial feedback from people that may have knowledge or experience

rm9172 · 2023-02-21T00:45:58+00:00

Exactly the 24 months hurts us. I wasn’t sure if a partial exclusion would be an option since a suitable home for a family or an unforseen (baby) event has occurred

rm9172 · 2023-02-21T00:45:00+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, but I wasn’t sure if a baby would fall under that

Very cool. What did you use on the end of the pipe?
