    Gluing down ricordias

    Nope. You need to have at least a pice of substrate or rock on the mushroom feet. Put them on some rubble and cover with some bridal veil or similar new. Keep them like that for a few days (from 2-3 up to weeks). Clean the veil every once in a while, or just change it. Hope this helps

    My multi tank system

    Thanks! Today we moved a Giga Clam in one of my 40b. It is gonna be there for a couple of months until my friend will have his 500g running. It is about 17,5 long, 12 wide 10 tall!

    Painting the back of and acrylic tank?

    Sometimes the blue background is not a colored acrylic, but just a layer of blue pain from the outside. Like the TRUVU tanks. If this is the case, you can sand it off and repaint it black

    My multi tank system

    Thanks Todd! And yes, it is a bit insane, but she's kinda ok with all that because it is in the basement. I do frag ricordia often, I'm trying to fill 4 ft of tank with them :) I see special tang posted the link, that's the one.

    Closed Loop and general plumbing

    Todd, I was meaning high flow in the sump, high turnover between sump and display. Running separate refugium at low flow encourage the grown and accumulation of algae (wanted and unwanted) in a specific area. I run a Barracuda as a return in a 200g system, that's 35 times the volume lol But I...

    The more water you put in contact with your filtration (mechanical and chemical) the better it is. As for macro algae they grow and perform a better filtration in low flow. Lots of infos on Melev's website. He's the sump guru: http://www.melevsreef.com/what_sump.html

    My multi tank system

    I started my 65 gallons in the basement in july 2009. Later on I added a 30g frag tank, then upgraded the sump with a 100g tub and added a 40b frag tank. All plumbed together. The 30g frag tank is dedicated to ricordea florida, while the 40b is for sps. The display is a mixed reef, but it is...

    Closed Loop and general plumbing

    If you are gonna use one as a refuge I suggest you to put it on top of the sump and not connecting them in line. So you can set up a slower flow through the fuge tank. I think that if you connect them in line and let the flow go from one side to the other you will have the same fast flow which...

    You can use an alternating flow device like a schwid for generating some random flow. One think I suggest you is to rockscape in a way that you can reach the inlets for cleaning, or find a way to reverse the flow for cleaning. As for dual sump, you mean 1 sump and 1 tank for equipment or refugium?

    Calcium Magnesium question

    I test once a week too with Elos. After a few weeks of dosing I'm now able to keep it in the 1300 range with little adjustments, probably once a month or so
