I assume you have high flow in the frag tanks. How do you keep the corals from moving around before they encrust the glass?
Tanks are roughly 24"x44" vary in height 10"-14" and I try to get as much flow as possible but its the shallowness that makes that a challenge. 2 tanks have 25-QD40s but I can only run them about 35-40 percent before they blow the corals everywhere. Most corals are mounted on 2" disks or larger which keeps them pretty stationary. the other 2 tanks have 4 QD10s at full power.
I don't want them encrusting but it happens often. There is a LOT of time spent in keeping everything clean. I probably spent 5 hours total scraping discs and cleaning on Weds- The struggle is real LOL
very very nice!
Do you dose Sr at all? I am starting to realize a lot of the very nice SPS tanks are dosing it directly or dosing some other trace elements that have Sr in it
I don't dose SR. I do sporadically dose coral vite, oyster feast, strontium/molybdenum but its common to forget or get busy and not do it, its been about 3 weeks since I dosed anything.
Calcium reactor and fish waste is what's working for the most part.
Thanks for looking!
