Re: Recent FTS
Not really much upkeep. My FW tanks are more work.

Re: Recent FTS
More specs please, what do you dose with (other than vitC), how and how often of what? What media if any do you run in how? What skimmer/lights/watermovment/return pump do you use? What fish and other notable inverts? Water changes, how often and how much? Anything else you could add?
Im sure we would all love to hear!

Re: Recent FTS
It looks a heck of a lot like the Brown Cup Coral (Paracyathus Stearnsi).

That last coral there, I mean.

Re: Recent FTS
Few questions, (your tank looks great, just looking for ways improve my tank )
Only return pump w/ seaswirl for water movement? How much flow can your overflow take? On my 90g AGA RR tank there is no way a return pump alone could handle it.
Is there a reason you add you calc/alk at night? I was under the impression that just before the lights come on is the best time.
How often and what do you feed you copperbanded, I am considering getting one.
What bulbs do you run, in what order front to back? How long are they on for and since you have a 6 bulb, do you have three timers to gradually turn on each pair.
Thanks!
