Ever since I've had five die on me in Aug I've been very careful about adding fish I want to add three more and be done. But I replaced my clowns that I lost and added two firefish but they were in QT for a while I used rally reef in the main tank in the QT hydroplex as well as using this weekly

my fish didn't die from a sickness it was from electricity leaking from a heater

Give us an update! What is your po4 and no3 levels?
The tank has been on autopilot for a while now and everything grows great. I do 10g water change every 2 weeks. Feed heavy but all he algae are gone. NO3 stays around 5-10 and PO4 0.05

very nice Sonn!

I would love to see an updated full tank shot when you have a chance. Also, how far off the tank are you T5s and how long do you run them a day?

What do you keep your alk and calcium at?
