AHanes SPS Collection

[SpSDrew]

I typically don’t make build threads or long post but I’m going to start a place where I can compile my collection and answer any questions anyone may have.

Tank: 8x3x1 grow out flat

Lighting: 4x 250 watt 14k halides, tons of Reefbrite xhos, and 2 reefbreeder photons

The big 3: Dos pumps feed in between 3.5-4 gallons of saturated kalk a day, BRS soda ash, calcium chloride, and magnesium chloride/sulfate

Nutrients: Nitrates between 20-40 and phosphates between 0.2 and 0.4. I dose 12 mL of ammonium bicarbonate daily to keep nitrates up. Phosphates seem to fall in line with feedings.

Traces: stopped awhile ago and went back to regular water changes with aquaforest salt.

Food: I do a probiotic bacteria mixture with aminos, enzymes, and min s coral food. I feed this maybe twice a week at most
