Naw. My expertise is on nuclear turbine actuators, not reef tanks.
I’m really flattered that so many people think this highly of me lol.. I’ve never thought of myself as one the better sps keepers honestly, I just have a passion for things I do and I try my best when I put my mind to something. I was taught many years ago “dress right dress” or don’t dress at all… that’s stuck with me since my teenage years in pretty much anything I’ve ever done or wanted to accomplish! All the information is there for anyone wanting to be successful! you gotta read between the lines I guess anymore as the hobby has changed so drastically in the last several years.. pick a reefer who’s tank you want and follow them! That’s the best advice I can give.. I knew what I learned back then and when I came back “2 and a half years ago” I was like wow okay this is a different ball game I’m not sure I’m gonna make it in today’s reefing haha! I stuck to what I learned before any of these weird icp test and elements and biome testing and etc etc etc… I knew the fundamentals “high power lighting, high flow, skimmer, live rock, kalk, change your water” that’s about it! The only 2 things I’ve introduced to my tanks or habits from the good ole days was all for reef and ammonia dosing! I saw a old friend killing it again @SunnyX and he was using all for reef so I gave it a shot! Randy’s thread on ammonia got me excited so I introduced that about 6 months ago after seeing @Battlecorals on a podcast talking about he used it! I guess the rest was history? Haha… that’s about it for my tank.. I did have a short run with zeobak and food and all that’s good stuff sunny was using but I gave it up.. ammonia replaced it all!
I thought about that but I mean all his stuff was grown from frags. I don’t believe he has any Mari or wild piecesz I think almost every sps guy sells some frags but I see it :p
LOL your killing me smalls! Your tank is amazing! Every time I show a picture or video of your tank to my wife she is in awe and says why doesn't your tank look like that..... or It would be nice if you had a tank like that LOL You beat me all ways but thanks for the props, :)
on board as well! @Troylee is old school and not afraid to admit it! they say the look of someones tank is a good barometer for wisdom and know how. Check out his build.
Sooo….. aside from Kalk, all you dose is all for reef and ammonia? Thanks ….. I can’t get my 3 year old tank to do any good in Sps….I’m really flattered that so many people think this highly of me lol..

Correct.. I actually top off with fully saturated kalk and dose 160ml daily of all for reef.. I just recently had to start sodium hydroxide but that’s because the kalk and all for reef can’t keep up with my alkalinity usage. It’s something I wouldn’t recommend to anyone unless you have large colonies sucking it up lol.. here’s my dosing schedule… the bacto balance hasn’t been online since November when my doser stopped working.. I don’t dose anything else! I change 30% of my water every 2 weeks… at least I try to, it might go a tad longer here or there lol.

Yes sir!
. That’s always a conversation starter.. for anyone who saw that on my doser it’s ammonia bicarbonate lol.. I should prolly change that since newbs will read this and who knows what would happen haha!
