Wouldn't the gfo grind the carbon into dust tumbling in a reactor?

I don’t know about the BRS reactor. The Two Little Fishes Phosban Reactor has a little kit for like $3 with fittings for hob applications that worked for me. And as long as the flow isn’t too high, you won’t grind the carbon into dust. You just have to adjust your ball valve between the pump and the reactor to keep the flow right.

I also have the two little fishes phosban reactor. I mix carbon and gfo. The flow going through there is pretty slow. You want the top layer to "dance".. not really tumble or violently rise.

+1 on the montipora cap. I was thinking a nice red montipora cap would look nice. Or, if you have enough light for sps coral, a bird's nest coral.

Would 96 watts of t5 grow monti and birds nest? Also what's the care level on those. I love the crazy birds nest with blue polyps!!! Also I looked up the monti and I love it!!

+2 on the monti cap. A nice purple one or a green one would look awesome!

Monti caps and birdsnests are among the lower light sps, I don't see why you couldn't have either.

Over here my LFS charges £15 for sps frags and £35 for decent size colonies. Sorry I couldn't give a view on US prices.

Is that reasonable? I have no idea how much you guys normally pay for your coral?

I've paid around $20- $40 for a nice monti cap. Depends on the size and color. Green is always soo much cheaper so keep that in mind. My green monti has absolutely busted out with growth this year and is a nice contrast to my rock.
