Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

Mine was from low to zero nutrients

That’s what I’ve read about Dinos usually proliferating in low nutrient tanks. Mine is definitely not that!

This is a 57 watt so the dose is about the same at 500 GPH on the25 watt by my understanding.

This might help !

Only thing is blacking out the tank for 3 to 4 days . At the time I didn’t have that much coral but I’m sure anyone who has done it with coral could let you know . I did the U.V. For 24 -7 while I had the Dino’s or at least during the most crucial period which the Dino’s were taking over . I like what some one said about coralsnow and plus adding multiples bacteria at the same times .

Thanks. I’ve checked this among a huge amount of other articles and post. I attack problems that I’m not intimately familiar with a lot of reading and listening to advice. Much appreciated.

I only had a 75 gallon tank but I always believe that how long the water stays in the U.V. The better it will do . Maybe if I had the 57 watt it might go up a little more as well as the size of the tank .

Here's that discolored area of the AD I mentioned last Thursday. I had a small matt of what looked like Cyano in that area that I suspect caused it. I blew it off but can see a little bit still there in the pic.

Looks mostly like discoloration as I don't think there's damage seeing that I have PE in the area.

Thursday Aquadelight update.

The Dinos haven't slowed it down and looks like the discolored area is healing once I blew off the Cyano from around the base.

The other BC competition coral I'm really happy with is the Pink Caddy. It's really starting to grow and color up nicely. Here's a week shy of 4 months growth.

Shot a quick video in mostly whites capturing most of the tank, rockscape, and corals.

Cool updates! Looks like things are super happy.

Curious: what's the return pump & tubing doing inside the DT? :)

LOL. Beautiful ain’t it? It’s a temp UV setup within the display for Dinos.

And yes, things are happy, colorful, and growing fortunately.
