Renton's Evolution from 200 to 440 gallons

Beautiful piece!
 
A molt from a crab that was the size of a penny when I first spotted it lurking in the aquarium....he has grown a bit. I have never seen him nip at a coral or a fish, though I have tried to catch him a couple times and put him in the refugium just to be safe.










 
Your Tank Is Perfect!! Amazing Fish and Coral Color!! Thats what I would call my Dream Tank!! Love IT!!!!

Niceee shots

Still got the AI Blue?

Thank you. Indeed, still have the AI Blues. Only lights I have ever owned, no plans to change anytime soon.
 
A tiny frag of Reef Raft's Orange Implosion Chalice under royal blue LED's and zoomed way in. Looking forward to seeing this grow out. Starting to feed it LPS pellets and it sure likes them.

Wow what a nice piece!!!! Super nice if you ever frag let me know lol
 
lookin good as usual, question for you. filtration wise you are just running the fuge and skimmer correct? do you do any special dosing or anything like that? I know you said vodka but im curious besides that.

Thanks!

For filtration I have a skimmer, a fuge, biopellets and filtersocks that I try and change every 3-5 days.

I do 2 part dosing along with dosing magnesium.

I have also started doing 50 gallon water changes (25%) once every week or two. This has resulted in a huge improvement in growth and color.
