Hey All,
Here is my Reefer425XL. It been running since December 2017 and has had its ups and downs.
Hardware Breakdown:
From my first Meet & Greet post back in September somethings have changed a little. I have slowly added some corals over the last couple months, and you can see ~3 are not doing so well. I am still a little dumbfounded as to why i cannot 'grow' corals. Only thing that seems to be 'thriving' is GSP (slowly tho), one of the Ricordea's, and a couple of the Zoa's. Everything else seems to be just sticking around or slowly dying out.
Params: (as of current tests on 04/06/2021)
So, if there is anyone out there with good advise , please advise me, i am starting to lose my mind.
