Red sea reefer 250 build

Awesome! You've achieved such a nice back and forth wave feel. What is the coral in the dead center? It looks like it is growing perfectly symmetrical, which is cool. And what's the softer one in the front right corner - duncan?

Hi and thank you.. the one in the middle is a hirsuta sps and the one on the front right is a duncan... its tentacles are so long it covers its mouth

Awesome looking tank... My reefer 250 is also just starting to mature and my dinos are fading away. My cycle / battle with dinos followed nearly the exact same timeline as yours and I also agree the less I mess with them the more they are beginning to fade away.

So now that your tank is filling out how much ALK / Cal /MG are you dosing? No3 po4 x still at the recommended dosage?

Wanted to share my journey on my new tank build its been set up for nearly 3 months now so wanted to share

I had an old tank aqua one 120 which was neglected and decided to do things right this time!

My old neglected tank

Did months of maintenece to bring it back to this

Glad you decided to clean it up before you got a new tank, shows you really deserve it lol. I really like the scape on the old tank btw. A bit minimalistic but really artistic, you could say.
