1 Year Tank Update!

Sad news first! I had to give away my Powder blue to a friend because the fights with my Achilles was becoming more frequent sometimes resulting in injuries. What was left of my LPS corals was eventually wiped out by my infamous Blue Face which I still love and so will not be giving up despite costing me $$$.

Good news! Approx 9 months ago started a small collection of SPS frags harvested from a friends tank and later added more frags which are starting to grow out into small colonies. After adding the SPS frags I placed my Reef Octopus calcium reactor online and added a Kamoer dosing pump to control my effluent flow. I am planning on switching my bubble regulator to a Carbon Doser C02 regulator which I have already purchased.

Normal stuff! A few months back I started having issues with my DOS pump which I was using for my auto water changes and switched to doing manual 30 gal. water changes instead every 2 weeks. I will eventually switch back to auto water changes when I can purchase a new DOS doser but for now I don't mind the manual water changes which only take me 15-20 mins with my current setup.

Tank looks great! I'll be going into endo soon. Probably won't have a tank at the office when I get out just because I like to leave at the end of the day lol. How do you like having it at the office?

Thanks! I love it! Even more so now that I no longer have one at home. Surprisingly mine doesn't take up a lot of my time. I sometimes come in on a Friday morning to do some regular maintenance that's it. Good Luck with your residency!

Carbon Doser C02 regulator is now hooked up. Testing daily to get it dialed in. Everything going well except my Phosphates are too low (0.00 ppm). Took out my GFO/Carbon bag and started feeding a bit more. Corals are starting to lose a bit of coloration so may start dosing to get levels back up.
