Nice work man. Looks really thought out and clean. Keep it up , looks great!
Nice build. You mentioned that you picked the reef Octopus Calrx over the Geo dues to outdated design. Can you clarify the reason? Thanx
Hey there
What a gorgeous Tank.mis ist Black live Sand from carib?
Thinking about Unsinn black ls in my New Tank also, but still not sure if white is better?!
It is natures ocean black sand which is a black with multi color rocks including specs of white. Mixed with Hawaii Pure Black to darken it up.
thanks for the answer and the messed up english before. My iPad was going crazy.
How magnetic is the Sand and do you have any Problems with Phosphates?
Lots of people here tell me to avoid black Sand in reeftanks
Cheers, Flow
Sent from Switzerland!
I did call the manufacturer and asked in advance if the sand is magnetic and they did say yes. My solution is to buy a dobie pad and cut the plastic mesh off of the sponge and slip my mag float inside and then I sew the hole up with fish line. I then took the magnet and put it in the sand – picked it up and the sand does not stick. The plastic mesh creates enough distance so the sand will not stick. Furthermore it is great for breaking down algae. I used this on my old acrylic tank without an issue.
Phosphates after the cycle are < .03 with Hanna.
Why avoid black sand. With the correct mixture you can make and astatically pleasing substrate. People say it looks dirty but IMO put dirt on Black then put dirt on white and which stands out more? Finally ensure you put critters in the sand that stir it like sand shifting star, Algae Blenny, snails and other stuff.
Man an 8' tank. I am completely jealous. I absolutely love tangs and can only imagine how much fun it would be to pick out my stocking list for something like that. Congratulations and enjoy it with great health. God bless
