Vetteguy’s 660g acrylic Mixed reef

[Reef AquaCult]

I began with the typical ALK-CA-MAG and then used Aquaforest.
I have switched regimen as I am using a large CA reactor with Re-Mag so I have halted dosing and am using Pohls (korallen-Zucht) and loving a healthy tank. I add 2m/l bacteria and 2m/l peroxide at night with lights out

Which bacteria vetteguy if you don’t mind sharing? Thanks and awesome tank.

Has the CaRx lowered your pH levels at all? To the point where you have done anything (CO2 scrubber, kalk) to raise it?

I have Large BRS scrubber unit to my skimmer. A little change but not what was expected. CA reactor has kept things VERY stable with noticeable change in coral in 3 weeks already

Whew! So happy to see this as I was afraid you were going to answer, "scrapings from my shower!"

Just added to my wish- list
Aurinatus Angelfish- gets to about 5" and semi reef safe.

NOPE. Tank is 4 foot deep and the rockwork is an island. Back of it is bare

Still going thru the build, but this is absolutely beautiful!

Question- What is the overall height of the stand? I am planning a 48" tall tank as well and was curious about that.

Stand itself is 42"

Wow! Incredible tank. As someone else mentioned, you did a great job with making it look like a reef her in the Atlantic! It looks like the stuff I see diving in the Fl. Keys. Incredible job. Can't wait to see it progress.

Thank you and it was part of my vision as I frequent carribean waters.
Some cool change(s) coming very soon and as much as 20-24 new coral going in
