Picked up a few new corals today. All maricultured colonies. Decided to setup a small coral QT tank due to my last red bug battle. I also noticed that my flame algae took on a hot orange color!!! I wish I knew what was causing it cause it looks awesome!!!

Figured I'd share some refugium pictures. Just some regular macros in there, calerpula prolifera, flame algae, some halimdea, and a bunch of blue sponge.

Just wanted to stop back and give a little update....have a small cyano outbreak going on in the DT...not sure what is fueling this. The tank is still new so it maybe just one of those stages. I suspect my T5's may be getting a little on the older side. Might be time for some new ones....or maybe some new LED's....????

Just another update...finally got some dosing pumps in and will start doing a 2 part dosing schedule. Hoping to get them dialed in this weekend, just need to pickup some digital timers, don't have a controller yet, but will in the near future.

Sweet bro !! I love seeing people with the same tank as me and how they got it setup . Really liking it buddy !!

Thanks! Would love to see what you did with your tank!

Breathtaking tank...love everything about it lol. Thx for sharing

Thanks JMMJ, I need to clean the frags off the sandbed, I am going to be slowly removing the large refugium that I put in, as its been trapping alot of detritus and what not. I will be making it into a grow out tank and do my LED experiment to see if I am ready to make the switch.
