What method you using, zeovite? Any?

No specific method honestly. Just bi-weekly water changes with Red Sea blue bucket, dose 2-Part ESV, strong flow via Maxspect Gyres (custom program), and lighting via 2 Orphek Atlantik V4 @ 75% intensity, along with 4 ATI Blue Plus’... Fish are fed twice a day with Sustainable Aquatic pellets (auto feeder)... corals are fed once or twice a week with Reef Roids, but that’s it. I may throw in a frozen cube of mysis once or twice a week.

There is so much more I could do, but I don’t because everything is working as is...

180- Never thought aquascaping would be so hard..... this is the result of what I was able to get in the tank. Completely different then what I cemented together the day before???

What about your sump? What are you running. Thanks for the awesome reply too.

I am running a Synergy Reef CL 44 w/ two 4” socks, going into a refugium powered by a Kessel H380, which then goes into my Reef Octopus Skimmer, and then goes back into my display via a Jebao DCP15000 return pump.

Very nice, simple, some get so complicated. Tank looks great. Do you hand dose additives.

Here’s my 2 month old 200 gallon aquascape.

The pics don’t really show the number of caves, tunnels, nooks and crevices I created. I wanted to ensure I had plenty of water flow plus many places to add corals and places for fish and invertebrates to hide.

There’s approx 375lbs of live rock after it had absorbed the water.

Just ESV 2-Part, ESV Magnesium, and Acropower... nothing else.

Got bored this weekend and fragged about 300 zoas & palys.. After pulling out all of the rocks, it was time to re-aquascape the tank...

Before (daylight pic): two rock wall islands

After (all blues pic): tons of caves, nooks, and a tunnels to swim through.

Fish are much happier!

My new 180 after my 150 had a leak. Will be adding corals in a while.

6 weeks into the BRS 4-month lights off cycle with my Waterbox 5526 peninsula. I used all dry rock with lots of passages for the fish to swim through and hide. So far so good.

Love this!
