40g then, Red Sea Reefer 250 now”

[sil40sx]

I’m looking to get a vacuum tool soon. Which one are you using?

I think it’s a Lees Gravel vacuum, only reason I picked this one out is because it’s the longest one.

Update:

Heres my new tank now, set it up last April last year:

Tank: Red Sea Reefer 250
Lights: AP700 that I retrofitted in a ATI Sunpower
Powerhead: MP10 and MP40
Return pump: Sicce Syncra 3.0
Dosing Pump: Bubble Magus
Skimmer Bubble Magus Curve 5
Reactor: Skims Chaeto Reactor
Controller: Apex Jr

My main dose is ESV B-Ionic Alk, Ca, and Mag. But I feed and dose other bunch of stuff, like KZ Pohls extra and Flatwormstop, Seachem Fuel, Kent Vit C, and Red Sea Trace Color ABCD. I also feed Oyster feast, reef roids, Hikari seaweed pellet, NLS Pellets, Fauna marine LPS pellets, Rods food, Hikari Frozen Mysis and frozen spirulina brine shrimp. There's probably a couple that I missed.

Are you for real?
Where did you steal these pictures

This looks amazing, i could only hope to be that successful

I thought you said you wanted a 120 gallon?
Why the red sea 250? Cost?

Thanks!

I stole them from my camera. Hehehe

I realized 4-5 feet long is a little too big for my place right now.

What I do is just dose half of what’s recomended from the instructions to be on the safe side. (1ml per 10ml of calcium)

I'm trying to calculate my daily dosage of Red Sea Trace elements per their instructions. I dose 22 ml of ESV calcium daily, so I'm arriving at about 1 ml of RS trace elements. If I was to half this amount I would come to 0.5 ml of trace to ~20 ml of ESV calcium. This seems lower than your calculations. Are you dosing 1 ml of trace per 10 ml of ESV calcium?

 

[sil40sx]

Are you dosing 1 ml of trace per 10 ml of ESV calcium?

yes, 1 ml per 10ml of Calcium.

I dose about the same as you, 24ml of Calcium, so I dose about 1ml per day. (But I do it weekly, so 7ml a week)

If you're dosing equates to 1 ml for 24 ml of calcium daily, then you're actually dosing about 0.5 ml per 10 ml of calcium right? Sorry, the nerdy part in me needs me to get this right. Hehe. Thanks!

 

[sil40sx]

Yes, that’s correct.

Amazing setup! I agree with the posters above, we need some more shots of the sump area. I'm about to start a 50g cube and I would love to steal some sump ideas. Also, what's your experience with the yellow tang/copperband/flame angel line up? I was considering having those three, but have read about flame angels being hit-or-miss with reefs and Copperbands being pretty tough to feed.

Thanks!

 

[Rscott]

Maybe we can talk the OP into posting detailed pics of the sump??
Pretty Please
