I wanted a powder blue so bad but all the horror stories I hear. I think I'm going to pass good luck and take more pics

I have been using microbe-lift kalkwasser with good results but its about to run out and not many places carry it. Are all kalk brands equal? Are they all they same strength?

We had a false powder blue tang that was a good tank mate.

In my opinion I think it all depends on the particular fish you get.

uncleL · 04/07/2016, 06:51 AM

Nice!!

james30ct · 04/24/2016, 06:09 PM

Noticed one of the halides wasnt on today and I lost a ballast. Ordered a Hamilton m80 one to replace it. I will see what a m80 with a raidum 20k looks next to the plusrite 20k.

Getting good growth

james30ct · 07/21/2016, 06:30 PM

Well we moved on July 2nd and i broke the tank down and moved everything into a kiddie pool. Until today of course when the pool for whatever reason started leaking. Mad scramble to get things set up and water made and now everything's back in the tank. Hopefully no loses but i think the big purple cap was too close to the bubble coral and got beat up pretty good. Time will tell.
