Sorry for bad quality photos Ipad doesn't do well with leds

Growing this red dragon for Todd

 

[joekool]

Before daily dosing

Mg 1590
Ca 370 low
Alk 4.45meq/L 12.5dKH

Alk seems to be staying up have to dial back on alk and add some more Ca

Funny I went up 40 ppm by adding 200ml of calcium. I'm suspecting my test to be off. Has anyone heard of a salifert Ca kit going bad. Says its good to 2017

 

[gettaReef]

Idk, I have the salifert cal test which also has 2017 exp. date, so we may have the same batch. Recently I checked all my tests with other I have, and compared the salifert cal with red sea cal test and Hanna Cal checker and they all were very close in their readings (ranged from 430-440). I'd still compare with other tests though to be sure

Hey Joe, the Reef is really starting to fill in nicely. Thanks in advance for that purdy Red Dragon start, am really trying to come up with a realistic plan for the new tanks aquascape and what/which and where Corals to be placed. My inspiration will be from a friends 240-ish with just 7-8 very mature hard coral colonies occupying the majority of the real estate with Z's & P's, encrusting and Softies spaced throughout. I'll continue to mix some of the colonies such as Birdnests/Seriatopora, Pocillopora and Caulastrea/Candycane and with a much taller tank be able to layer the plating colonies better. Anyhow, nice to see all your efforts paying off my friend.


Cheers, Todd

Just moved a few things around and mounted some frags to get ready for a PIF. There is still a few pieces I un intentionally fraged I need to mount.

Now Im over the Kenya trees hanging around my tank. About ready to through them in the trash. Maybe the LFS would want them.

 

[prsnlty]

I know what you mean about those kenya trees! I'm setting my daughters 45g corner tank up to remove those and all the softies plus melting zoas to put into it ATM.

....... that deep blue acro is a real beauty

I get my new DP-4 dosing pumps Monday. Say hello even more stability.

 

[joekool]

Also noticed how beautiful one of my red dragon corals is. Lighting is not right to take a photo at moment. I have been looking at some others so much and even though I saw it was looking good I finally took a moment to really look it over and it is looking great.

 

[prsnlty]

Haha, i STILL haven't set mine up lol! The date and time is set and on a bracket with the tubing on... that's as far as i got. I think my underlying issue is that I'm worried about setting it wrong - i am a terrible procrastinator

I hear ya about the acro It feels great when something we love is doing so well!

 

[joekool]

Yo Jackie reef breeders has a much more understandable manual for the dp4. Way better than the shoty Chinese to English translation. https://www.reefbreeders.com/shop/jebao-dp-4-dosing-pump/. It's in the info. There is a link.

 

[prsnlty]

Woohoo! Thanks Joe! Getting right on it!

 

[Coralsdaily]

[joekool]

Thanks Steven. If only I had a better camera to take photos with.
