    The 10 needed a bit more color so I got the ARM for it and the 2 buces to fill in some holes in the rock. Wanted to mix it up so it’s not all anubias in there haha. The rest is to help soak up nitrates in the 60 as my nitrates have been constantly high lately

    Got the marsileas in today and a bag of Purigen. Forgot to rinse said bag before putting it in the tank :anonymous:

    Dust settled and it’s looking good. Last (for now) of the plants come in Friday. Hopefully get some shrimp in next week.

    This my first time using it. I’m impressed. Might have to setup the auto order for it too. How often do you change it?

    I have a 75g I was running with a lone red bellied pacu in that I had for about 10 years. He grew to almost 14" long and was honestly bigger than the tank was capable of housing. He passed last year and ive been debating on what to do with the tank since then. What would you reef guys use as a good information source to start out?

    I had a small reef tank a while back. I watched Youtube videos to learn how to set it up.

    You can probably go longer. Just watch for the bags getting nasty looking.

    The 10g is now done being planted. My broad leaf buce and kir Royal are in the rocks. Placed 3 ARMs throughout. Now time to let root and grow for a couple weeks
