Yes it does! My colony in my old 120 was about 6x8" Mine grows decent, but I have a long way to go to match my old beauty. I am starting to pull pinkish hues in the tips. In my opinion the Hawkins is a must have in any sps aquarium

Looking really good Perry!

Thanks Josh!
Trying to dial in my new skimmer to get nitrates down, been hovering around 30-50ppm for a couple months. The Simplicity DC240 was not keeping up. So, I upgraded to the Simplicity DC320. Double the pump power and air draw, so thinking it should bust them trates up in short order. On a positive note, my ph increased by .1 as a result. Pulling air from outside, so the increase in the air draw gave me a bump, lol, I will take it

Wow Perry, your stuff is growing really fast. Awesome!

Hey Scott,
Thank you! Luckily I have only lost one coral since the reboot, and that was through a bout of dinos twice, and cyano too. The sourced corals mostly came in chunky, and very healthy. I believe this was a contributing factor to total tank health and solid growth. Colors are trending, despite elevated N03(30-50ppm). P04 holds on it's own around .08-.12ppm. Just upgraded to the Simplicity DC320 from the DC240. PH shot up .1 as a result too, lol

 

[Perry]

BTW...
To all you SPS gurus out there....
Happy Father's Day

New project underway. I have this pre-drilled 10 gallon tank that was collecting dust, so decided to plumb it into the system to make for a mangrove fuge. Had to re-inforce seams with silicone, so sometime this week, should see this come to life. This will be a deep sandbed, probably between 6-8" of live sand. I will also have a nice chunk of rock ready to put in there as well

 

[Perry]

I decided to reinforce the bottom around the tank with black flex tape, I think it came out nice. The sandbed is almost 8", should be a nice spot for a mangrove tree, lol.

 

[minus9]

Nice!

 

[Perry]

Nice!

Thanks John!!!

Mangroves came in today

 

[minus9]

Very nice! I'm going to do a combo of sea grass and a single mangrove in my 10g lagoon.

I really didn't want to put anything algae wise, in the sump. Been there, done that, lol. Here's my thought: Adding 40lbs of sand giving me an 8" sandbed, with the mangroves, should eventually control nitrates. Looking for longterm stability, hoping this provides a long-term solution. Still trying to keep aesthetics in mind, although it's just me, no approval necessary, I am not letting my reefing addiction get out of control, lol. Now, trying to figure out how to place these 10 new acros, that's way more confusing

Looks awesome! Sounds like it's time to add a frag tank.

 

[biecacka]

Looking great!! Does that bring the sps count to 60 pieces (the list you provided) in the 90 gallon tank, or do you run a frag tank as well?

Hi Corey,
Thanks for checking in
At this point, all 60+ sps pieces in my 90 gallon. I actually am in the process of adding rock back to the tank for more area to place corals. I am confident that I can home all of them for about another 8 months to a year. I will either be adding a separate grow out system, or be looking for a larger system in the beginning of 2023. I am thinking more towards a 200-250 gallon system and still keeping my 90 in play, oh the decisions, lol Suffice to say that I am pretty maxed out, still have to plug 6 more acros sitting on the rack, that's my weekend plan anyway.
Cheers!

 

[biecacka]

Thanks for the reply Perry. You have some awesome pieces there my friend. I just picked up a few pieces I’ve been eyeballing for my tank as well. I’m torn, being of the old school ways I want less sps and huge colonies. But there are so many frags out there I love! Haha
i have to be selective in what I add as time goes on. i will continue to follow your tank as always man.

I hear you man, good problems, but problems nonetheless, lol. I am really a milli fan, but also dig the classics. For example, my Tyree Tri-color is so beautiful, but gets looked over constantly. All my millis are going nuts except the BC Fleshdunce, it is a pita, but trying to do something... I am still very much stuck on the RRC Jaw Dropper, it's such an amazing piece! Hoping to get a FTS up soon, of course after I clear the rack, lol.
