Your tank is awful Phil... Time for you to downgrade
To a 33g buddy...  :P :P :P
Phil your tank has come a long way and
Maturing rapidly....are u thinking of adding
More live rock? Or u like an open concept look.
Either way it looks fantastic...
Cheers

Your tank looks great!  How does vinegar help your powerheads and skimmer?  How do you clean them off afterwards?  What is an orp probe?  Are copperband butterflies the ones that can sting you?  What is gfo media?  How much carbon do you use and do you only have to change once every 6 months?  Lol sorry for all the questions...

Vinegar clean the whole thing, algea, coraline, dusters, all you have to do is wipe.

orp probe; heres some infos for you. hey dont blame me for the headache after reading that haha

copperband butterfly can sting? lol


GFO = granular ferric oxide ( removes phosphate)
http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-11/rhf/index.php
I use 1 gram per gallon
i chnage them when I reach .03 ppm

Carbon =  ½ cup for every 40 gallons
I chnage them same time as gfo

hope it helped

Cool thanks for answering my questions...I guess I was thinking of the foxface rabbitfish that stings not the CBB.

how is the foxface eating? I keep reading mixed reviews, some say the ones that will the aptasia don't eat other food and they are really hard to keep, because they don't eat and will eat corals any probs yet? does he eat the aptasia and reg frozen foods, pellets or flakes? Please inquiring minds want to know I love that fish one of my favs
