After the 180 has had a few months of stability Ill be on the lookout for one of these montis. I really like it :)

Do you use dosing pumps or kalk if you don't mind me asking? I am wonding if my 180 would be more stable with dosing than the use of a kalk reactor.

I may be able to cut a frag of it when you are ready!

I dose Cal, Alk and Buffer daily, I need to get a cal reactor though. I recently had a major alk issue.

Thanks Chris, that would be great!!!

I can see you needing a Ca reactor with the amount of coral you have. My alk my be my issue. It will be stable at around 8.4 then when I add fresh kalk (about 2 weeks) my alk raises to around 10 the first few days. My mg drops a lot also. That's why I am thinking about dosing with the dosing pumps.

Clams suck right now. Mine are growing and seem to be fine but they die all of the sudden. I have four of them. I need to do a ton of work to the tank before I do a FTS because I have it full of frag racks and need to clean it up and put them back in the frag tank. For some reason my Zoa's seem to do better in the DT than the frag tank so they are in there.

Watch out bud, remember a couple years ago when this happened to me? It was a bobbit worm that came in as larva ether in my blue squammy or inside of a piece of rock with mushrooms.

This is what I've come up with so far for aquascaping, it's kinda hard to plan ahead because almost every rock in my 120g has coral on it and has to sit on top of this....

Well I guess my tanks officially a year old today and I need to get some pic's of it later when the lights come on.

Congratulations on the 1 year mark. Tank is looking good 1 year later. Can't wait to see it in another year.
