Beautiful tank my friend.

The dry rock is soaking it up. I would start to dose NeoNitro and NeoPhos to get the N03 and P04 above 0.

Yeah, I'm dosing nitrate and phosphates for the first time ever. It feels weird and against everything I learned a long time ago.

Keep me updated. How are you dosing alk/calc now?

Just 2 part by hand at the moment.

I was going thru a ton of both trying to raise my N03 and P04 to fight Dinos shortly after my tank upgrade.

What product are you using to dose nitrate/phosphate?

Dinos seem like a really common problem now.

What product are you using to dose nitrate/phosphate?

I'm using ME coral products for all dosing right now. That's what my lfs carries.

Did it eventually start to rise after dinos? I don't know if I just never paid attention to nutrients so much after cycle or what, but I can't ever remember having this problem. Is it the dry rock thats causing this?

Dry rock is a major contributing factor. It soaks up N03 and P04. Eventually I was able on get both to rise.

Went to the Dallas frag swap this weekend and picked up a bunch of sps. I got some really good pieces from raising reefs. Orange crush, fox flame, Greg's unicorn, Walt Disney, Hawkins, red dragon, and rainbow mille, pinky the bear, pink Cadillac, solar flare mille, garf bonsai.

My wife picked out this amazing purple tang from our lfs, prestige worldwide. I also got 5 lyretail anthias. I failed somewhere in my qt process, probably from not quaranting corals, and ich is now present in my tank. Going to get a uv sterilizer and try the ich management approach.

Starting to look like a reef tank.

I've been in a straight up war with dinos and cyano this last month. Think the tides are finally turning in my favor though.

These are my old Wyoming whites I had and one of the biggest things I miss about my old tank, so I had to get another pair.

Super awesome clowns! I feel like i will need many tanks to house all the clownfish morphs that exist haha

I love all the clownfish too. Think I'll stick to ocellaris though, because I hate the others biting me.

I'm obsessed with my new leopard wrasse.

 

[giorgiosreef]

Beautiful fish! One of my favorites. Are you going to pair it up with another?

I don't think I'm gonna pair this one. I'm only going to add three more fish and would like a fairy wrasse of some kind and a mystery wrasse.
