Lowco's 80 Peninsula

Your mixed reef has turned out amazing! I love seeing shallow reefs. Aside from the nitrates, have you had to dose any calcium, magnesium, etc... or is water changes taking care of that?

On my jabeo doser I dose calcium, alkalinity, ME polyp extender, and nitrates. I use b-ionic 2-part. 15 ml of calcium per day and 18 mls of alkalinity.

I figured you were dosing but I must have missed that when going over the thread. Your pictures had me captivated. Lol

My lights are 12 inches off the waters surface. At peak day lights run at:

Channel 1: 30 %
Channel 2: 40 %
Channel 3: 85 %
Channel 4: 50 %
Channel 5: 75 %
Channel 6: 75 %

So from 1200 to 1600 that's what my lights run. I taper up and down the lighting in the morning/evening.

Thank you. That’s very helpful to me.

Bangai Cardinal doing it's thing. I have two of these guys, they are always hanging around my duncan coral, one of the lowest areas of flow in the tank. This is a spot where left over food liked to linger. The duncan and cardinals take advantage and always eat good.

Wild coral colony I found at the LFS. Not the prettiest piece in the tank, but I cool find for the price and decent a grower.

One of my favorite corals in the tank. This guy loves to eat. Hoping to get more kinds in the future.

And you can't go wrong with a montipora. I just wish I had more room to grow out a massive colony.

This Walt was a rescue back in March. New image from today to the left. Old image in the right. It's really starting to show its colors. Excited to see what it can become

Sometimes you capture a picture you just have to share

Tank Reaquascape. Added more power heads, increased flow means I can expand my sps section throughout the whole tank.

Tabk update. Moved into a new house and the tank is finally setting in. Just bought a bunch of new acro frags. Excited to grow them out. Thinking about going full sps.
