My tanks, 720g and 50g SPS

[RacinJason]

Hi Everyone

I currently have two tanks going, a 50g SPS cube and a 720g SPS dominant mixed reef. Both are lit by LED, and both are running calcium reactors for supplementation.

Here is the 720

Thank you, the 50g is approaching 3 years and the 720 has been up since March of this year

Are you running the nano aquamaxx?? Have you seen any problems in pH while running the calcium reactor?

What are the dimensions on your monster tank? Great aquascaping job. I love how open it is.

Wow - beautiful!

Yes I am and no problems with PH, it tends to be on the lower end of acceptable, 7.9- 8 ish but I have not seen any adverse effects.....I use to 300g tank with dual ATO's, one of them ran through a kalk reactor and was controlled by an Aquacontroller to only come on when the tank was below 8.2 and off when it was above 8.3. Even then when I kept my PH higher and extremely stable I did not see any notable difference in the health/coloration of my coral

Thank you, it is 130" x 40" x 32"....I originally ordered it to be 144" long so it would be over 800g but for some reason 130" was the largest panel the manufacturer could get a hold of at the time
