Thanks . On that, i'm discovering a few facts. I've discovered that snails seems to miss the horizontal branches of the sculpture. They clean the vertical rockwork much better than the horizontal counterpart. The hair algae is almost exclusively on the horizontal parts. My CUC is i admit a bit difficient at the moment and my auto feeder has played a part in the hair algae accumulation; too much feeding( i was gone for 3 weeks). The Eheim twin screws is not a good buy for controlled feeding(pellets) that is. As for the flakes its doesn't work. Very few flakes makes it out; and those who do, goes straight to the overflow. My parameters after 3 weeks away

PH 8.2
Amonia 0
Nitrites 0
Calcium 400
Mg 1350
DKH 7.4
Nitrate untracable
Temp 82 F


My sps stag is starting to bud toward the top and all the ends are also budding. The gorgonia is fluffy and full, some zooz seem to have trouble ajusting to the light; maybe too strong, i'm leveling my MH higher a bit to 10" instead of 6. My clam is doing well, one side of her mantle is longer, she's greener than blue, i don't like it, she was a nice blue before RRRR. My fishes seem happy, although my wrasse is hidding for the second day in a row, my bullet goby came out today, my buddy put an extra brittlestar in my tank to help deal with the extra food of the feeder, saw him today. The rest is ok.

The experiment continues.

Re: OK a 65 G Slowly but the best i can make it

With or without the BTA that tank has come very far, you should definitely be proud of what you have there. Keep up the good work, and is it time for an upgrade yet?
