[Fishfinder]

Uh yeah noticed that. Lol. I didn't even say anything negative about the synergy. I forgot it was a sponsor thread. When I get my new overflow I will just make a comparison thread.

 

[WWIII]

How many ended up being in each contest?

 

[TMB]

Here’s my strategy....

I even got a new dosing pump to add the “magic sauce”

See you sucka’s in the winners circle!!:cool:

 

[marco fish]

You guys are silly, lol. I’ve only won one contest before.

So I read that you are going to win the contest, I would love to see an FTS of your reef... just to see what we are going up against. Actually I would like to see a FTS of everyone’s reef to see all of the competition, or when the contest starts everyone should put an FTS with there contest coral in it and then the close up with the ruler..... what does everyone think about this?????

 

[marco fish]

I seen your sps thread man! So growth going on there for sure;Wideyed

Soo. What everyone's strategy to win? You don't have to tell. I wouldn't.

I’ll say my secrets because I like for fellow reefers to learn from my successes and or failures. My reef is running on Aquaforest but I don’t go completely by the AF recommendations.

 

[marco fish]

I have the contest frag and a CC Hellboy coming.

Sweet!!! I got a Therman’s Rainbow coming not a favorite in the contest, but we’ll see what happens when it goes inside my Reef!

 

[marco fish]

Keeping parameters stable and equipment clean is my main focus. Not going to change much.

I'm hoping I get a chance to setup my doser this weekend. Had the thing for a month and haven't even opened the box. Adding alk and ca manually, morning and night, sure is getting old.

What Doser did you get?

 

[MTBake]

What Doser did you get?

Coral Box. Hope it works out ok. I've read mixed reviews.

That’s funny, Hahaha!!!! Good one

Who makes that one? I have a 5 Kore Doser and not 100% happy with it! Maybe a calcium reactor would be better, because we ain’t stopping!!!

Got it from Reefbreeders.com

A calcium reactor will be on my next system. Looking to upgrade into a larger tank. I'd like to move next year, so I'll just save up till I'm in the new house.

i like mine I have upgraded to two Dos now and now use it primary for peroxide and acropower but for the price u can’t beat it u just have to understand it’s not a top of the line doser so it’s not going to be perfect u will get air bubbles and with that it won’t be exactly what you want to dose but if you know you want to dose 10 ml and it’s only dosing 9.75 but your levels are staying the same does it matter? If your consumption rate goes down and you set it to dose 10.5 ml but it’s only 10.25 because of the air bubbles and your tank stays consitant does it matter? If it does then you will not like the doser and will need to spend triple the amount of money to dose exactly what you want

Sounds almost identical to my situation, but everything down here is expensive, so there’s more saving to do!!!

That’s how I feel about mine, I have to adjust to it, well said by the way.

I had a coral box doser for a year and a half and it worked perfectly fine it was accurate and easy to use.

I think that I am going to get one too. Would like to dose the Aquaforest ABC that I dose manually 2 a week, and then sometimes I forget. Great price for the bundle!
