ProStar 200 Mixed Reef Build

[bpbonds]

I don’t have any pics, I can get some over the weekend. But I have it set up pretty simply. Water goes through three filter socks, through the skimmer section with a Red Sea 600 skimmer, through some chaeto, then into the return.

Sounds like its pretty much the same as mine did you use a control board?

Not yet, although I would like one to control the rats nest of wires I have going on down there

Thank you I appreciate the feedback!

Your tank looks great! I have the same tank and am also keeping the included sump. I bought the same fuge light as you (kessil h80) and was hoping you could give me some advice on mounting. Are you using the gooseneck attachment? The ATO is making it difficult for me to find the right place for the light while keeping the mounting height just above the sump.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Well I’m not running it anymore, but when I did I used the gooseneck and mounted that to the baffle that overflows into the fuge area.

Here is what it looked like.

I use the Tunze Eco Chic 8831 it fits in the back refugium compartment perfectly.

Thanks for the photo!

Do you like the Tunze better? I'm still in the return period for the h80

 

[bpbonds]

So far I have had great success with the Tunze it fits perfectly in that back fuge chamber and its water proof.

Haven’t updated in a while so here it is:

My Dinos went away after battling for two months. I’m not sure what did it, I dosed silicates but never saw signs of diatoms. They just seemed to go away on their own.

Everything is growing and doing well. I just plan on adding more fish and acros at this point.

Here’s some pics:

Corals look healthy and happy!

Looks awesome! So far I’ve been really happy with my pro clear!

Nice! They make good tanks at a pretty good price.

Time for a long overdue update. Been very busy and the tank has been slightly neglected, but I’m getting it back on track. Have a bit of a cyano problem but it’s not too bad. My grape caulurpa went sexual and caused a bit of a nutrient spike (50 ppm NO3, 0.3 ppm PO4), but haven’t noticed any adverse effects.
