It will be six months since I added water to the tank on the 22nd of this month. The latest thing to happen was an outbreak on cyano. It appears to be declining. I added some cheato to the refugium section about 3 weeks back. I think that may be the major reason for the decline. I have a light that I purchased from BML that is for lighting the refugium. They have got out of the aquarium lighting business since my purchase. This is a shame since the light appears to be of good quality. It is running ...
How do you keep your passion for reefkeeping? For me, it's seeing something new.

I'm prepared to get a Melanurus Wrasse but that'll only take care of the display. Any thoughts?
Just uploaded to my youtube channel last night. I talk about the nitrate spike, water changes, the new frag system, and why I don't recommend rimless acrylic tanks.
