What "New Thing" are you going to try on your reef tank this year?

[Dr. Dendrostein]

The cool thing about this hobby is that there are a million ways to do the same thing! Or so it seems.

Since this is a hobby and something we do for fun getting to a place where it's "set it and forget it" is not always the most fun or most successful. Sometimes but not all the time!

That being said what "new thing" are you going to try this year? (approach, method, equipment, aquascape, species etc.)

Planning 90 gal. Hex acrylic tank for NPS corals. Especially for dendronephthya corals

 

[Waters]

Switching to automated water changes....already have another DOS on order. I have been manually changing 15 gallons a week for over a year, every Saturday, without missing one. Not going to know what to do with this extra time

 

[Andrewalex11]

remembering to do water changes at all

 

[ca1ore]

The newest thing in molecular filtration ….. a diatomaceous earth filter.

 

[cmcimino]

Giving 2-part dosing a try. I have been dosing kalk through my ATO. Got two BRS dosing pumps for Christmas. I have everything setup, just waiting for my ATO to empty out so I can clean it and fill it up with just RODI water.

 

[Reefpuck]

Spend less money on my tank. :/

Spend less money on my tank. :/

You spelled more wrong

 

[marcus aurelius]

Moving my 125. About 350 miles. Starting SPS. Adding More lights, LED’s of of course. Setting up my 100 gallon cube. And frag tank.

 

[Paleozoic_reefer]

Throwing on a third Kessil a16we on my 75gal to see if I can get into some more sps; give away some leathers to make room (and to avoid all that chem-warefare); and to find a reef-safe yellow fish that isn’t a jerk (that’s right; I’m talking to you Yellow Tang of 2018!!)

 

[Hemmdog]

I want to plumb a frag tank into my big system, no idea how to do that or if my current sump will be able to handle extra water like that. Other than that I want to stop messing with things like flow schedules, it hasn’t been going well trying to dial in the flow on my 90/115

I'm seriously considering trying an additive to get algae in control . I'm vary frustrated with every natural method I could find !

 

[Beth Villmow]

Hands are supposed to be in the water. It helps me feel closer to the fish.

I agree! Extremely stupid mistake!

 

[Duffer]

I would like to start up a frag tank for some corals,

 

[andyg1960]

Just bought a retrofit LED/T5 fixture and looking forward to installing next weekend. Hope it improves the growth of my coral.

 

[Frtdrmrose7]

I finally got my 150g up and running but this year i want to start keeping multiple wrasses. I know not a big deal to some but a goal is a goal!

 

[madweazl]

Aint broke, aint gonna fix it.

 

[lilbitreefer]

Trying to do zeovit

 

[Doug Junge]

Switching from LED's to T5 and adding algae scrubber

 

[mborn]

Added sBar supplemental actinic LED bar lights to my ATI T5 lighting. I’m very happy with them so far.

 

[Steve Elb]

I'm awaiting a 100 gallon IM nuvo. Building a mahogany stand/rack that will also house my 25. Also building my sump out of a 40 gallon breeder. The 25 got me going...transitioning from Africans. Looking forward to my build. Already have the pukani cycling in a separate can. Btw. I love this site. I'm a relative newbie to saltwater and it's great to have so much info at hand! Happy reefing to you all this year
