Thank you
The kiddie pool was only use for less than 2 hours inside the house
my wife complain a lot before but I clean all of my mess before she comes home.as far as maintainance I just Let the apex run everything except the occasional cleaning the glass with the magnet!
FYI : I don't do much water change that offen Maybe once a year or so with no problem! My acropora and other SPS doesn't mind at all. My wife is very frugal ( I know it kind of funny to put this hobby and being cheap together) but I make it work!
Most of my sps are cheap mostly brownout when I got it and I just let my system put the color back into the it.

i guess not!
some people get away with it but not me.
even if i Quarantine all of my tangs the ick will still happen because too much aggression .

so far right now i only have 8 large tang and 4 small yellow tang .
i think that's it for me! even if someone give me a achilles or gem tang i will say no!
remove 40 lbs of rock on the display to accommodate the permanent homemade fish trap until i catch all the fish out!
