Been raising marine fish and inverts continuously since the early 70s.
Ignorance was pure bliss. Been happy as my clam with my fish tank and live rock. The softies were content in the rich soupy brine called "2 months between changes fertile old tank water". My caulurpa plants grew like weeds and got sold on EBay. Yes, the mushrooms were puny and the bubble algae was a pest. And the tank was too noisy to easily hear the theater over.
Sold some dead rock and was told to check this place out to get some new ideas and answers , THANKS A LOT FELLA:doubt:
Took out my trickle filter on Placks advise and watched the Niters explode before coming back down
Couple hundred pounds rock plus sand helps a bit
Bought a used Kent Nautilus skimmer which worked better than my old Berlin classic that I first got in 1982? which was a total POS even after the upgrade addition of the sedra.
(Berlin classic now in the dump):lol:
So Nowwwww, just bought a new octopus NW150 like the one in the goopy thread. Bot a seio to get some free shipping, used the 5% aquacave discount code.
Looking at adding some halides to my VHO which used to be the state of the art when I first got em.
And wife says, move the tank downstairs so I am looking at a new tank.
I used to be soooooooo content before desiring crystal clean water
The mushrooms have opened up huge and the polyps are bigger than ever. The fish are brighter, and the tank doesn't stink:razz:
OK OK, I guess ignorance might be bliss, but this old dog can still learn new tricks.

P.S. thanks to all for sharing, I am re-energized like never before. Will start raising SPS as soon as have a perfect set-up
