Dosers are easy. I use the Fauna Marin doses (same as GHL). But you will need to make up lots of the Alk and cal unless you use larger containers.

Look forward to the photo updates.

Picture Update!

Dosers are installed and running great. I did notice I had to dose less when it is dosed throughout the day than when I dosed manually once per day. Seems odd but less swings at least. I may just sell the calcium reactor setup now that my dosing requirements are lower than expected.

I could not get good pics of the corals from SC yet. I will be moving them around a bit tonight and will try again. However here are some updates now that I have that ugly frag rack off the front glass...

Also for some odd reason, my camera on my phone took better pics under the LEDs than my Fuji camera did. I am going to need to play with the modes on the camera a little more I think.

I guess I missed something... I will snag a pic of that tonight. Looks the same as it did before though ;)

I was told it is a green Pocci but the growth pattern is much different. I really don't know what it is.

That is a green montipora I bought as a standard montipora cap. It plated for awhile, then encrusted, then started to grow straight up... I have no idea what it is anymore, but it is an odd growth pattern for sure. Everyone wants frags of it local as it is just that different. It is also a really fast grower too.

Very nice update. Looks like you got some cool stuff at the swap too.

just a regular RBTA or a designer one?

 

[cdness]

Well just as a teaser, I had access to a DSLR Canon T2i over the weekend and took some AWESOME pics... Just need time to get them up to PhotoBucket and I'll link them here.

Well I had access to a Canon T2i DSLR with standard lens last weekend so I figured I would see if I could get some better pictures of the tank. Warning the next few posts are very pic intensive, but if you are reading this you already know that...
