I have two meteor shower that seem to do well toward the bottom of my tank. I have 1 blueberry up high and it looks ok but has had very little growth. I think I'm going to try it lower too.
This was one of my first coral too. Be mindful of where you place it because they tend to spread and are nearly impossible to eradicate. Pretty sure I'll never be rid of this one.
Hi Jamie,
Sorry, I didn't recognize the screen name. I think you'll like this sight. Lots of friendly, knowledgeable, reefers. Not as stuffy as some other big reef sites that shall remain nameless.
The ozmolator is probably the single best reef tank investment I've made. I've had mine for 7 years and bought it used. It is utterly rock solid, triple protection (Primary optical, high level float switch and addition timeout.) I'll open up here a bit and confess that I've been running it...
A scrubber is one proven way to reduce nitrates. I wouldn't be without mine. I went over a year without a water change and was able to keep things "alive". However, i'm getting better results now that I also do water changes.
Most slowly die of starvation. Mine did in a 140g. Yellow headed goby doing the job now and it's great. Can't keep any coral in the sand though because the goby is always dusting them.
My high finned goby stayed hidden for 3 months! I was certain it was dead and then one day there he was at feeding time darting out from the rocks to eat. This in a 75 gal. tank.
I do not run a skimmer. I do not do water changes. I rely on an algae scrubber for nutrient export. My tank may not be a model of growth but it is clean and healthy. Reduced maintenance allows me to enjoy the tank more.
