GlennF's 1500 liter reef using his "DSR Method"

Here is Dutch reefkeeper GlennF's 1500L (400 US gallon) coral reef system maintained using a self-described controversial methodology he calls the Dutch Synthetic Reefing, or DSR Method for short.

Glenn Fong's "DSR" reef tank is otherworldly

Glenn Fong has been running his reef tank for over a decade using his controversial "Dutch Synthetic Reefing" (DSR) methodology. What isn't controversial, however, is the beauty and health of his reef tanks.

No kidding[emoji13]

It don't get any fuller than this

 

[rushbattle]

Glenn, tanks are looking great as usual!

I would really love to run DSR on my upcoming 1400L and 1000L systems. The alk/Ca consumption will be quite large in both. Any updates on DSR retailers in the US?

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Beautiful, comrade

 

[vetteguy53081]

Very nice tank !!!

 

[JumboShrimp]

Eye-poppingly beautiful! Those fish must be fooled into thinking they are in the ocean!

You need to get out the hammer and chisel. ;-)

 

[Almondkc]

Your tank is 100% a piece of the reef, just incredible.

 

[najer]

Looking great as always.

Im curious Glenn why you dont use calcium hydroxide instead of calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate?

Im curious Glenn why you dont use calcium hydroxide instead of calcium chloride and sodium bicarbonate?

There are a few reasons for that.
1- Because you can never maintain a SPS tank with a consumption of 4,85dkh /per day
with only a CaOH solution. Due to the limited solubility of this product. if you try to do that your salinity will drop and PH will get through the roof.
3- you can't controle KH and Ca separately with only CaOH, therefore lose control over your tank parameters.

CaOH may be usefull for tanks with low SPS population/growth therefore low alk/Ca consumption

Somehow i missed this posting.

Thanks m8
I don't know about any retailers, because all is done by distributors.
Reef Aquaria Design in ft. Lauderdal has been appointed to do the distribution in the USA.
Best is to give them a call

*****Mayor update *****
I did a drastic rescape on the EZ550reef, because it was to much work to maintain.
I hope i can now getaway with another maintenance free year.
