Tideline Lagoon Build

[Johnnyrainbowreefer]

So I just wanted to share a little info on my 47 Lagoon LPS build. I have a new Tideline tank sitting on a Cobalt Stand. My old Cvue 45 Developed a stress Crack but Apex Leak saved me from losing my Live stock. I’m 3 months in so far with using my old rock I saved in a bucket for 2 months prior with water and a heater in my cellar lol. I try to only buy high end Livestock it’s just my preference. Nothing wrong with low grade I just want a neon reef that pops. I used redsea blue bucket salt and for lighting I have 2 AI blades. I run a skimmer and A drop in UV. I use filter floss and Marine Balls. Carbon and GFO when needed. I’m a firm believer of beneficial bacteria as a reef purifier. I also run a colder temp. I find LPS thrive at 76 degrees Fahrenheit. I rarely test because the Corals tell me what they need! If anyone has any questions feel free. I love R2R! You can view my reels on instagram @Johnnyrainbowreefer

When you say you run the system cooler, do you just not use a heater, or are you using a chiller?
Those AI blades do indeed make everything pop.
That's an impressive Micromussa collection.

No chiller I set my heater at 76 degrees through my apex so it stays pegged. Thank you for your comment on my Acans. I scour the country looking for good ones that pop.

I see that you have replaced the return pump output nozzle. What did you get for that? I am using the stock return nozzle and it is blowing the sand at the front of my tank all over the place. I've turned my powerhead off for a couple days and it still blows the sand around there. Thank you in advance.
