Bubble coral, tripled in size, in the past 14 months.

The CO2 Scrubber media , has to be changed weekly so I might have a Kalk stirrer in my future. I’ve never used Kalk. I only dose two part.

Tested the big four today. Sal = 1.024 Ph is staying 8.2-8.3. Alk= 10.5, Cal =440

Some of the corals on the left rack, in the larger Millepora colony on the top left were gifts that I’m slowly bringing back to life. My buddy moved, and didn’t take care of his tank for the past week and his Kalk line was pinched. Needless to say I helped him move his tank and he gave me a bunch of corals that are coming back to life. Thanks Matt

My toadstool leather coral. Retracted all the tentacles for a week. I have no idea why? Everything else in the tank looks perfect. Then it showed some kind of skin. Now the tentacles are finally coming back out on day eight

Right side. The candy cane coral on the racks are rescue. Along with the brain coral and the other disc on the same rock, Post this pic for a reference so I can see what they turn into.

Installing an Avast Marine Kalk stirrer today. I’m pretty excited about this. I’ve never used kalkwasser before.

Love the tank size, and you did a great job getting it up and running. Looks great! Let us know how the kalk addition goes.

I removed the CO2 scrubber media. I replaced the media with carbon. I left my airline for my skimmer running outside of my stand. Since I’m adding a Kalk reactor, My pH should be good to go now. The CO2 Scrubber worked and kept my pH correct.I had to change the media weekly.$$$

Decided to hang my light from the ceiling a much cleaner appearance.

Wiring all electronics into the side table before photo...

I got a good helper my nine-year-old, Old English Bulldog.

 

[RedReefer]

Everything wired into the side table with two fans. Still need to organize inside the cabinet but here’s a rough finish.

It’s crazy when you get a little excited about adding a new heater to your reef tank! It’s a Hygger smart PTC heater HG - 921.

Everything appears quality and the display is pretty high tech. I’m testing it in my garage mixing barrel for 24 hrs. That’s why the temp at 70° currently.

Finish installing the Avast Marine Kalk reactor. Tank seems to be doing good with just supplementing Kalk. I turned off my two part doser. I also converted the Co2 scrubber to an air filter containing only carbon for my skimmer intake.

Crazy clowns! They can’t decide on a bubble coral or Acan. Sorry no filter.
