[DolphinLVR]

Awesome Bricky!

 

[dragoneggs]

Wow your fishroom has gone first class since I visited!

 

[NC2WA]

I'm liking that bright red lobo in the back...

 

[Cherrycorals]

WOW! I love it.

Where is the Lobomussa?

 

[Bricky]

Thanks Todd. The Lobomussa is in quarantine along with that amazing mystery polyp, two acans frags, the scolymia, and the two acros I picked up at the Bob Moore frag swap.

Now all I have to do is wait for you to put up that amazing gorg you've got. No need to quarantine that though.

 

[akunochi]

SO YOU got the mystery Polyp! Let me know how it works out.

You're tank is such an inspiration. Hopefully one day when I own a house I can do something half as nice as yours.

I'm currently using Seachem Aquavitro Salinity salt, but only because Tunze hasn't had any available for so long.

So, I'm looking for a quality mix to start using. I'd stick with the Seachem, but I think they use Borate to buffer and I don't want that. I've considered Brightwell, and Tropic Marin Bio-Actif. Just not sure what I want to use right now.
