Hi everyone , so my tank is now about 7 months old and in the hobby for 1 year and about 8 months . Its total about 47g incl sump .
I have been testing a few things and seems time to share the little one .
I was running phosphates at <0.04 and Nitrates at 0.2 ppm dosing nopox , could not get my sps to color up and went back to basics , now Phosphates is 0.16 and nitrate 4ppm and sps looking much beter but still room to gain more , this did however made my zoas loose 80% of its colors
I switched from seachem to redsea a few weeks ago and with i am very happy . ABC+ 1 teaspoon a day , extra Magnesium 1 spoon per week and Kh an extra spoon every 2nd day .
Levels seems stable now
KH 8
CA 450
Mg 1350
Light im running a zetlight zt6500 but added a dual 24w t5 last week , refugium a 10w floodlight .
Skimmer is a Curve 5 that i will be changing to a Reeftek ts1 soon i hope.
Fish
Yellow tang
Male and female Manderin
Royal Gramma
Green Coris wrasse
Fairy wrasse ( not sure the name )
Pepermint Shrimp
Percula Clown
Occelaris Clown
I did get red sea coral colors and will need to do some research on dosing that, doing 25l weekly wc with red sea salt
The next image was when i started this cube at 1 moth old
And the next 2017-05-14 not using any fancy apps or filters , so pics might look dull
