Thanks M&M, I have the same exact tech tank, two mp40s, but I run a Giesemann 2x250mh and 4x54 T5 combo infiniti light. Ive had great growth rates on acros in the past, but this tank has grown slow in its first year. Just wanted to see what some of your tricks might be. How do you assure yourself of being pest free? Do you just trust your LFS or do you quarantine, dip, etc?
I have a 120 gal of the same dimensions and run my MP40's on the ends facing each other on Reef Crest and Anti-sync. I see you went with them on the back pushing to the front. Did you always run them this way? I like how the outside powerhead would be hidden from view. Just wondered if pushing the 2 ft dimension vs the 4 ft length was better?
Great looking tank. Mine has been up 18 mths and my SPS growth is not even close.
I feed my fish 2-3 times a day,mostly frozen and pellets.Couple days a week feed them live blackworms,they love it.I do 10 gal.WC once a month with Red Sea Pro Coral salt.I also dose Lugol's 2 drops every 3 days and Brigtwell CoralAmino 10 drops every other day.Nothing but T5,but you're wrong here,no actinic at all.All those bulbs are high PAR bulbs.If you do some research you will find out those ATI blue plus put up tons of par. Because T5 put only a little heat all I use is Azoo 4 unit cooling fan in the back of my tank.Temp. stays steady now is summer 79-80.
very nice, I love the red monti! what kind of CuC do u have? I didn't notice one snail..
the azoo fans keep your tank at that temp without any type of ac unit running in the house? my ac just went out and i need to do something to keep my 120 cool. what brand bio pellets do you use? do you get a pretty good tumble using the tlf? in the market for a new bio pellet reactor as well tlf 150 just aint cutting it. do you dose mb7 with your pellets? how much? thanks for your time.
wow that's a small clean up crew for such a large tank. you never have any algae problems?
Interesting similarities. I use the EcoBak pellets and dose the Microbe Special Blend as well. I am dosing 80 ml once a week. Maybe I will cut back a little.
