Well that's a spectacular Nano! Looking forward to seeing more.

Dosing products? Water changes? Any foods?

Thank you,I appreciate it. Its the first tank I am actually happy with. I am putting together a "frag tank" where most of the zoa's will go. They are just growing to fast. 80% of the zoa's started out at 1-2p 8 months ago.

So,I do a 1g "water change" about once every 1.5-2 months. I dose SeaChem Iodide,Strontium in my ATO container. I also dose 1 drop of KZ LPS Amino 2 times a week,8-10ml of phyto every ither day. My 2 gobies get fed roughly 2ml of thawed mysis 2 times a day. Which my Acan's and Favia and most biggest polyp'd zoa's capture some too. Coral get spot fed 2-3 times a week with a mixture of phyto,BWA powdered coral food,RedSea AB+.

Yes,its about 50-60 zoa morphs,11 different acan's,2 favia and 1 chalice. All blue pic is just royals,cool blues and violets from the Hydra and of course the 2 Orphek OR4 30's. Whiter pic is all the blue leds plus the cool whites,greens,reds also from the Hydra 26.

Yo great collection man. Glad to see you’re back into reefing. Grow those zoas out so we can do some trading.

I secertly never left. Just kinda left the forums. I am currently slowly moving stuff to a longer shallower tank,so when things are happy again and growing (besides the stuff that needs to be cut up) again I will hit ya up.

How has everything been on your end ?

 

[Steven Garland]

Got the zoa tank filled(ish). Added few frags over the past week.

Sooo,the tank plans have changed lol. I got a chance to get an IOAOI tank to try,so the the 9g will be the new tank. The Aquamaxx is just to scratched up and will keep it as a backup tank.

I also picked up a Reefi Uno for cheap locally,so that will replace the Hydra 26HD over the WB10. Overkill,yes.. Sensible not really,will it work ? Yes. The spread and color is amazing when I hung it over the cube. Have a HMS mount bracket coming and will use extruded aluminum to hang the 26HD and Orpheks ovet the 8g. Along with a diffuser for the Hydra.

WB10 will be all LPS and the 8g will be softies mainly zoa's and whatever else I cram in it.
