First off this forum is dead Ibhate it! Anyways bought a new Apex El today from Salty Critter. FYI they were running 20% off all livestock and 10% off apex. Bought some fish and a gorgonian. Love the apex so far but what a lot to learn. Hate the factory plug presets. It shut off my heater and my gyre for whatever reason. Luckily I caught it before bed.

5 weeks in, fish all look fine didnt have anymore signs of illness. They are starting to look "bored" not swimming as much, still eat like pigs though. Display is still having algae issues, cant even scrape the stuff off the glass. Only bonus is my pod population has exploded, all over the glass and rocks. A mandarin would be in heaven but Im finding so many issues I hate that Im about to break it down. The green algae, still have cyano and now the damn tiny blue clove polyps are coming back full force. Hardly noticed them but guess a couple rocks from my old tank made it in and they are multi

This hobby has me feeling so defeated. Ive been reefing for a good 15 years on and off and never really had issues till now. My main tank contracted I believe Ich so my poor fish are living out 3 months in a 20 gallon quarantine, theyve gotten their two weeks of copper and have no signs of issues. My main display has been fishless and shortly after removing the fish my 2nd cleaner shrimp just died. The tank is also having another terrible cyano bloom even though I treated with red slime away a month ago. My 20 gallon nuvo "frag" tank had also had a cyano bloom and I cant seem to keep clow

Been perfectly fine, no leaks and honestly havnt noticed it

Wish I had seen that before Nano picked up our little girl on Thursday

My snails and hermit crabs have been doing great. I greatly appreciate that

Been almost a week and a half fishless. Tank looks so empty, still fighting some algae and cyano but should be easier to treat without the fish. One benefit is my pod population has exploded

Talked to the family and were looking at adding another member. We have an 8 year old german shepherd and looking for a lab or retriever puppy. Looks like they are harder to find right now or people want top dollar ($2000+) anyone know of any puppies available? Dont need papers and willing to travel.

The apex el will fit my needs, nothing on the standard apex Id really need

Good so far, everything seems to like it. They are coming out with an app soon so will be even better

Id like one but not in the budget currently

Still raising copper to the right level. Fish all seem good but bummed I found my cleaner shrimp dead in my display. Don't know why.

Tank is sad an empty. All fish moved to quarantine. Came home today and my cleaner shrimp was dead, he was fine yesterday. This is the second one I've lost. First one lasted a few months, this one about a month I dont know why. Going to be a long 10 weeks with no fish in the tank

Wish I knew that before I went to petsmart last weekend lol. Thanks! I just hope they all get along and will do alright in the 20 gallon. Its a lot for the size, yellow tang (small), coral beauty, 2 full size clowns and a banghi Cardinal
