Update

Vitamin c is working I had zoa's that would open or be closed most times in the last two days I have seen more of that variety open than in awhile.
Also I boasted my PH up to 8.2 +/- from the 7.9+/- range with some aquavitro balance.

Lights have been shipped can't wait. Did my wattage math and I will be saving around 600watts/hr nice!
Now all I need is my new return pump and I will drop 200 more watts/hr
Shouldn't be long before I pay for the new lights and pump.

Selling my lighting to make room for the new LEDs check out the selling thread for more info.

Tank thread update!
So I know that when I take a fts it doesn't look like I have many corals but I really do have some.

I moved some dragons eye colonies of zoa's away from my LTA because it has been stretching out so far that it was covering them. Now it's laid back.
Before

After

Next are those colonies not open all the way but getting there after the move.

Next up baby blue stag keeps growing

Think of adding a 55 gallon in the loop that I have. I might have to wait until I replumb my new return pump to add it in. May just make it a frag tank who knows

Also adding 50 more pounds of dry rock to my sump. The last 50 pounds went into the display. Probably got 200 in display hard to say but I think I can get another 50 after this and put it in my sump for a total of 100 in the sump.

 

[trido]

Looking good! You know, frag tanks are like display tanks and make more work. They do however take all those little pieces off the bottom of the display and give them a good home.

 

[joekool]

yes they do. would be nice to grow out some corals. I need to start buying bigger pieces or find someone local to frag swap with.

 

[joekool]

Got my 50 pounds of aqua maxx dry reef rock today. The had an awesome sale at marine depot

 

[Sense of nature]

Looking fwd to updates onnthe 155's
I was considering those or the it2040's

 

[joekool]

I'm going to be installing mods on the lights so that I can use my apex to control them. I'll put up some updates when I do it tomorrow. I'll let you know.

They are bright don't see running past 50% output to grow Coral.
