I upgraded from a 25yo Oceanic 75g aquarium to a NEW Red Sea MaxS-500 120 gal. I have all Red Sea equipment: Skimmer, Reefmat roller, 4 pump doser, DC main pump and skimmer upgrade. Currently dosing Red Sea Alkilinity, Calcium, magnesium, PO NO3 reducer.
Tank cycled and has been through ugly phase. Currently clean with the CUC team doing their job. Establishing a mixed reef.
Current stock is: Blue Powder Tang, Royal Gramma, 6-line wrasse, Pair of Black oscellaris clowns, 4 blue chromis, 1 male Lyretail Anthias, 3 female Lyretail Anthias, Red Flame Hawk, 2 pajama cardinals, Flame Angel. All stock is doing well after 4 months,
Just started adding a handful of frags.. (basics: duncans, goniopora, leather, star polyp, hammer, Acan, Kenya). So far all are happy.
Currently testing ALL parameters weekly. I have a Hanna monitor for PH, Salinity, Temp. All the rest are a mix of Hanna and Red Sea tests. Parameters are all stable. Working on balancing Calcium/magnesium dosing to consumption. Phosphate and Nitrates are within safe range but continuing to adjust feeding and dosing to keep in target range.
I feed with auto feeder 2x day - flake mix and 1x a day frozen (LFS, Rods, brine, mysis, other cubes) 1x a day Nori for the blue tang in a clip.
