(having to dose 2 part to keep up; I’m assuming the coralline growth is main culprit along with an extremely fast growing red cap monti.)
weekly water changes 2-3 gallons with IO salt.
looking to upgrade to AI prime for lighting and maybe a sicce 1.0 return in the near future.
Not quite haha, just as beautiful tho!Ahhh I thought you meant the real lake country, Muskoka Ontario
Made out of egg crate, i used zip ties to keep it together. I had to cut the egg crate down the middle squares on the side facing the overflow since that extra plastic spine is in there for the skimmer. I’ll take a pic of it tomorrow during my water change.Any details on that custom chamber 1 basket please?
I don’t think so, i have enough rock/sand..I notice there’s quite a bit of detritus that can build up in there and I feel like it would just be a nuisance trying to keep it clean. I’ll just keep it empty.Are you planning on putting the matrix back in if you upgrade the return pump?
Thanks mateMade out of egg crate, i used zip ties to keep it together. I had to cut the egg crate down the middle squares on the side facing the overflow since that extra plastic spine is in there for the skimmer. I’ll take a pic of it tomorrow during my water change.
just filter floss on top, I change that every week. second is a tablespoon of carbon I change every month, third is about 250ml of purigen..I’ll change it when it’s exhausted or every 6 months. I had matrix on the bottom but there wasn’t enough flow throughout the chambers with the stock return pump so I just took it out.
I blocked off all but the 2 bottom slats on the chamber wall in between chamber 1 and 2 to increase flow and make sure the water is running through the media.
That is a huge snowstorm!!Mocha and snow storm clowns, paired up after a few weeks, love the blue hue on the snow storm. feed them mysis for the most part or a few pellets if I feed heavy the day before.
fragbox is great store. never been insied but all corals i ordered are greatNice build! My girlfriend and I both picked one Evo each. We're slowly starting to break down our bio cube. After having the sicce 1.0 in the cube we pulled it and compared flow with the stock return. What a difference. Also picked up a random flow generator from fragbox. Can't wait to see more!
She’s a little piggy, loves mysis.That is a huge snowstorm!!
Only place I’ll order from online. Always impressed. Had an order from them delayed 24 hours because of the shipper and still no issues with the corals.fragbox is great store. never been insied but all corals i ordered are great
I remember looking at New Dawn aquaculture when I wanted a captive bred mando, never ended up ordering. But fragbox is great, only problem i had was when I was trying to send back some pods and didnt open the box for a few days and they were all dead, but that was my fault.Only place I’ll order from online. Always impressed. Had an order from them delayed 24 hours because of the shipper and still no issues with the corals.
The fish are from new dawn in Edmonton and I would order from them again, but not as much selection for corals.
