00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Rocks reef]

I’m slowly thinning stuff out. I’d rather have a few, huge mature colonies than a ton of booger sized corals.
For reference, my tank is 4 feet. The Dragon Soul at the top is probably a foot across when open

Love it!! I just used the last of my venison yesterday. Good thing hunting season is coming up so I can another 2-3 doe to the chest freezer

We have a few packs of cubed left and several cans that we put up we were blessed to get 6 deer last season.

Good afternoon Smorg!
Full tank shot before maintenance. No filter as I run a pretty white spectrum except first hour and last hour.
All I do is clean the glass honestly.
Sump pic. I don’t run anything except a simmer. The media reactor holds CO2 absorbant.

Cause that skimmer is a boss!. I got one....had to put it to the side for now.

Hi Rocky !

XR30's blue.
Had them 4 years on the old tank..
Missed the Kessil shimmer and I wanted a much smaller light...since the new tank has no top cabinet to hide the lights.
This tank is open top and minimalist, modern.
A light bar coms from the left side of the tank which is on a electric actuator.
I can raise the lights up to 24 inches with a wireless control.
I been putting pic on my new thread.

I am so terrible at remembering to check everyone's build threads! Ill drop by and catch up on the build. Thanks brother

Good afternoon everyone!

I’m thinking about doing this . I’m wondering if my tank is not missing something from the ocean . I started with dry rock and just wondering if it would make a difference ?

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes

It would be same as icp. There would be no bacterial components because I'm sure they irradiated it to kill virus and bacteria.

 

[kingranch2003]

I just read salinity is off on batches at 1.020

Ive tested every batch ive purchased that is 100% false. If anything it's usually closer to 1.027

 

[kingranch2003]

I haven’t had any problems with my tank for years except a sponge outbreak which I took care of . I’ve been thinking about doing this for years but always worried about ruining what I have . At this time I think there would be a plus .

Try and watch what happens CB!

One of the best examples of a true mixed reef that I've ever seen

I used it to first fill up my Biocube when I first set it up even though I had RoDi I thought it was a good way to start up a tank. I believe I had it delivered by Amazon.

It makes more sense than using bottled bacteria! (Which I also use )
