Renato's 120g reef

[Slack Tide Reef]

Too much feeding! Nitrates are very high!

They sure don't seem to grow much at all when you don't feed them.

It’s for sure looking good. I’m sure you will figure it out. Looks like the coral are growing well!

What did you put underneath the stand and why? Getting ready for a new tank 100gal) placed on carpet and wondering are ther any issues having it on a soft less stable surface.

No issues placing it on the carpet. Make sure the tank is leveled. Mine is on the carpet as well, with no pads. The bad thing about placing it on top of carpets is the salt. Hard to clean. I bought those comp mats to put on top of it in front of the tank only.

Absolutely beautiful. I love what you have done with the new Aquascape. It is now one of the best tanks I have ever seen. I know you were struggling with SPS before what do you attribute your success with them now to? Thanks and take care

Yea you nailed it. Too many people put to much on their sand bed and try to pack too many coral with no negative space. It just ends up looking cluttered. It looks perfect with the boomies and a few corals on each. Your purple stylophora is gorgeous.
