I finally jumped into the hobby with a tank in August of this year. I have wanted a tank since I was probably 10. It took 14 years until it was the right time in my life... but i am lovin every minute since
Every minute that goes by, i get more into SPS so thats the direction im heading
>My DT is a 75 - eshopps 800 gph OF
>Sump/fuge is about 40 gallons
>LR is somewhere is the 150LBS range between DT and sump
>Skimmer is going to be upgraded in the next 2 weeks to a Octo NW-200 (or maybe it was a 250?) The $250 one...
> Right now its a current usa fission recirculating skimmer rated for like 250 gallons. It just doesn't cut it for the direction im heading...
>Stand and canopy, sump and T5 are DIY...
> Lighting is 4 54 W t5 - 2 g-mann Aquablue+ and 2 actinic + with icecap SLRs. I also have 3 28W T5's that use periodically with various bulbs
>Dose B-ionic alk and red sea reef sucess Ca, GFO, carbon, chaeto, red mangroves, custom CuC from reefcleaners.org
> Parms:
everything that should be zero is - including nitrates.
Po4 is 1PPM but that could be off due to algea comsuming it faster than i can measure it (just started GFO)
Ca - 500
mg - 1450
Alk - around 10DkH
Flow - Mag 9.5 return, mj1200 and 900 both modded, K1
Corals: ORA hawkins, Incredible hulk, Green slimer, Orange cap, monti, unidentified and not thriving acro, Orange torch, bubble, various color shrooms and zoa, xenia, GSP
Fish: tomini and yellow tang, 2 clarkis, purple firefish, clown trigger
Enough of this im boring myself. Here are some pics... More to come and better ones. Theyre on the other computer
