Hey, it's Hugo on R2R. Glad to see you're venturing around.

Whoa... There is hope!

And derailing as usual... Never mind, no hope.

There's no hope for this thread, it's long past gone.

 

[schooleyosis]

Time to get it back on track. Take some photos and show us the goodness.

Wow, its been quite some time since the last update. There have been more changes and issues than I was hoping for, but such is reefing.

I've added a Gyre XF150 to go along with the Tunze 6105 and a Tunze 6208 wave box. I redid my plumbing slightly to move the manifold onto the return pump for the addition of a Geo CalRx with a Reef Fanatics regulator and a Synergy reactor modded to be a second chamber. I also got my skimmer pump back from ATB so its back to its silent beastly self.

At the beginning of July I saw the very distinct circular bite marks of AEFW. I've been battling them. I had a bad overreaction at first and set up a QT for the acros. Due to this overreaction I over stressed a bunch of nice pieces and caused the loss of a few via RTN. I've since moved them back into the DT to finish the dipping process and they've been showing signs of recovery.

Things are on the up and up.

Thanks! And thanks for the help. If it wasn't for my MTRC brothers I probably would've quit the hobby.

Things will only get better and stronger mang! I've got some frags for you.

Things are still going rough for the tank. I've lost some nice corals. My nitrates and phosphates are embarrassingly high. Partially due to the tank being fed multiple times a day without my knowledge. If my losses are due to them being out of whack is something I am unsure of but, I'm not adding anything else until I fix the problem at hand and feel confident in my and the tanks ability to keep it alive. I still have some nice pieces hanging in there. I've started daily water changes, vinegar dosing and GFO to help get things back in check. Hope this combo helps things rebound, I may add an algae scrubber to help, undecided about that.
