    David that is one healthy looking Goni !!! I would keep it right where it is ! I keep mine at medium flow with an alternating current.

    New fish in QT. Paracheilinus attentatus (diamond tail flasher wrasse). Small male, he will get much more colorful.

    I read that the goni's need manganese to stay alive long term. Has anyone else heard that?

    Hiya,

    Ohhh, I love flasher wrasses, unfortunately, my other two wrasses don't like anything!

    I've also heard that goni's need mag, but I've never tried to keep one.

    I think the morning glories are my favorite. Can't wait to see a colony of them.

    Eureka! Carbon dosing really does work. Week 7 of vinegar dosing (up to 120 cc/day) and in the last 10 days nitrates have fallen from 20 to 2.5! When they get down to 1 I'm going to reduce my dose and try to figure out a maintanence dose.

    Wow that is great!!!
    Congrats. are you auto dosing with a pump or just manually dosing?

    I'm dosing with dosing pump every hour during lights on when pH is at its highest.

    Looking through your pictures David, very, very nice. I hate that I missed the meeting at your place. Got a thumbs up from the doc today. Pneumonia is almost gone completely.
