just picked up a orange spotted goby and to work he has started on my sand bed, i really like this guy!
any one have one?

Calcium tested at 460. Dosed last night and this morning and the dkH is just over 7. Less than 1dkH shift, taking it slow.
Decided to hold of on purchasing a new light fixture, goal was to focus on the basics, and get my tank back in line. So going
to swing by the LFS today and pick up more T5 bulbs that have to be replaced.

Filter sock lasted 4 days before replacement, have two going to pick up another to fit in the rotation. I just feel guilty wasting so much ...

When you neglect your tank, you get a dkH just over 6 , glad I got the old B-Ionic. Plan on BRS in the near future, possibly the drew's dosing pumps. Leaning more towards dosing, than Calc Reactor and other.

I would like to see what others opinions might be on using these bags for filtration. Any concerns on leeching? It seems they would be a lot easier to clean, and are cheaper too. I am looking at the 150 micron bags.

New test kits on order, ELOS kits at LFS are just too pricey. Since moving everything around I've changed the lighting schedule, albeit manually. 4 Bulbs come on at 9:30am, and I go home for lunch and turn on the other 4 at 12:55pm. Going to do this for this week as some of my SPS moved from midtank to less than an inch from the top.

Still weighing my options when it comes to the lighting.
