Bayer Insecticide ?????? :Yikes:

Yes, this and ReVive are my two favorite coral dips. Everything gets quarantined and dipped before entering the display.

One of, if not my favorite tank out there. Well done sir. Completely superb in every way. I judge my tank against yours.

Question - what's your strontium dosing strategy? Do you find yourself testing and then dosing based off that, or have you reached a point of cruise control and dosing x milliliters per day/week etc.

From my tests I dose 100mL of magnesium and 40mL of strontium weekly. I make my magnesium from dry magnesium sulfate and dry magnesium chloride mixed with RO water. The strontium is dry strontium chloride that I mix in RO water.

My inspiration. Love the tank man.

Thank you, I look out all of the sand over a period of three weeks and removed my acans from the rocks. I have them on the bare bottom with the vision of them growing out and completely covering the bottom.

omg soo nice bro. that is one heck of a tank!

I removed both Ecotech Vortech MP-40w's and replaced them with one Jebao WP-60 and all I can say is WOW! The Vortech's were too noisy and I have sent them back twice for repair but I finally threw in the towel with these pumps and gave the Jebao a try. The flow from one WP-60 is better than both MP-40's and the wave setting on the Jebao is superb, I could never create a wave in my 120 gallon with two MP-40's no matter what I tried. I purchased two Jebao WP-60's but one is more than enough for my tank needs, the second one will be my backup The Jebao is more quiet than the Vortech but it also takes up much more real estate in the tank.

Most of the sand has been siphoned out

They do. Sadly the Bartlett's don't come out as much ever since I added the Powder Blue. They use to school with the Chromis.
