300g SPS peninsula Tank

[-Alex-]

Thank You! They are a bit tricky in placement and adjustment of the flow direction.
The first time I had them without deflector or something and the flow was very soft not reaching my front window. Now with the rectifier it’s a completely different pump, very powerful stream.
In terms of noise they are the best I ever had. Dead silent. I heard they are a bit louder with the deflector but I haven’t tried.

Tank looks amazing really good job. Do you have a picture of how you attached the xr15’s to the ATI? Have the same lights just trying to figure out a clean way to attach them.

Thank you! I had the same problem and decided for the RMS

I normally don't like bare bottom tanks. However, this is one of the most beautiful tanks I have seen in my 30+ years of reef keeping. Bravo!

Keep up the stunning work!

Thanks for the picture. That is probably the same route I’m going to go.

Can you share more details on your water change routine , salt , additives you use I see you use a CaRx .

 

[-Alex-]

Thank You!
I do a 10% water change every 7 to 14 days using Fauna Marin Salt.
I have ~300g of activated carbon in my system which I change out once a month.
For trace elements and organic compounds, I use the Sangokai basic system, besides that I dose potassium, strontium, magnesium, Iodine and fluorine.
Also, I use Fauna Marin Coral Sprint and from time to time Tropic Marin +NP as my nutrients are too low.
Every one to two month I send out an ICP test.

Very nice

Just curious .... is there quite a few lfs locally or do you have to drive elsewhere further to acquire corals? Or do you collect frags from reefers locally & around Europe as well?

Thanks

 

[-Alex-]

No, there are almost no LFS next to me, at least not with nice SPS.
But I like traveling around to see some other LFS or meet some other Hobbyists to trade and chat with them.
From time to time I order online but I like it a lot more to see the corals in natural and maybe also the mother colony and its shape.

Hello Alex,
I am also Alex, with a 300g-ish penninsula setup.

Good work, I am quite a few months away from it looking like yours.
