Smitty's Reef

Thanks bro...It's good to know that you're doing alright...the pump sometimes will not come back on when I turn it off, so after 5-10 mins of me playing with the impeller, it'll come back on...so on top of it having that loud humming sound, it's not totally reliable.

Nice!
Love the rock work...

Thank you very much.

The tank looks incredible! It has come so far from where it started.

BTW I love your tank and for now I only have freswater tank and would love to start a salwater one. I will maybe start with a nano 10 gallons JEBO tank and see from there.

Ok, I'm tired of fighting with this bryopsis, so I finally decided to do a blackout(bj's suggestion). So I covered the tank with a dark blanket, turned the lights out on the tank, and left the light on the sump/refugium on. So in 2-3 days, I'll uncover the tank and do a water change. Wish me luck. :)

Good luck! Still can't be worse than bleach :)

The black out worked well in my tank, didn't lose a single piece of coral or a clam. Just make sure you re acclimate them to the lighting so you don't burn them.

And just to let you guys know, his tank is way more awesome in person than in the pictures.

Thanks Bj...i really appreciate that. :)

Should I do the blackout for 2 days, or 3? I started on saturday afternoon.
