Upgraded a bio 14 with sump to a 60g hex tank I got for free.
Lighting with 1 26hydra HD and 1 kessil 160 tuna blue. (Hung the lights a little low due to depth of tank)
The sump is the eshopps cube refugium about 8 more gallons of volume. A sca-301 skimmer 65gallon (which I might upgrade)
Only auto dose b- ionic cal.,alkalinity, and a amino acid.
Once a week 5 gallon water changes.
Temp. 78.5
Ph. 8.1 to 8.2
Mag 1290
Alk. 9
Cal. 460
Phosphate 0
N03 0 to 2ppm
It's going to be picture heavy with crappie phone pics. so i can see progress, But as long as things continue to go well my uncle is a professional photographer and is going to hook me up a couple times a year with good shots. Been reefing for only 4 years so there is tons I don't know. Only been doing the sps thing about a year now with some ups and downs in the bio 14. I think it was just too hard keeping the tank perfect with work family and life sometimes. The hex been running a few months and the older brown sps are coloring up again. Thanks for checking it out. Sorry if it's not up to par, some of the builds from you guys on here are amazing and beautiful. Only hope mine can be as good one day.
