Wrangy's Reef - 80g of Wrasse & SPS

[Mattres]

I'm also closely contemplating swapping my lighting up! I'm thinking about simplifying the whole setup I'll definitely be keeping the Radium running on the tank but changing things up to the following:
- 250/400w Radium 20k MH
- 2x Radion XR30 Gen4 Pro's

That should be more than enough light to absolutely blast the tank and get some pretty colours and growth!

I’m not sure it will be enough light...

 

[Wrangy]

I’m not sure it will be enough light...

At $3k for two gen4 pro's it's going to be enough light whether the tank likes it or not!!

 

[Mattres]

I think your tank will like it, and any other reef tank in a 1km radius... haha

100L in water changes done so far this week! Another 50L to do tonight and then again tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday! That'll be 300L in water changes done in a week which is pretty much 100%! Should clear things up nicely. I'm using NSW at the moment due to it's ease but I'm thinking about getting a 25kg bag of Red Sea Blue Bucket tomorrow to start getting some more controlled water going through the tank

All in preparations for some goodies that will be arriving next week! haha

Nice. Can’t wait to see the pickups. Can’t seem to go wrong with Red Sea blue bucket.

Me either! Coming from a very reputable source and I'm excited!! I've been a big fan and user of RS Blue Bucket! Used it for years and going back now

 

[Wrangy]

I HAAAVVVEEEE AAACCCRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'S *ahem*

Today I added several tester pieces into the tank a shortcake, a spath and a tricolour type thing! Should give a well covered base to know what's going on in the tank, in time for some Red Dragon, WWC Pink Cadillac and Bubblegum Digi to arrive for me later this week

 

[Wrangy]

Well 24hrs and I'm yet to kill them!! haha I wasn't really worried but the paranoia was getting to me haha I cannot wait for the goodies to arrive this week and hopefully some more sps over the weekend

Stopped by the ole' LFS today with a mate and finally was able to top up my supps and get some new ones I've been meaning to for ages now!

It's liquid gold for sps

Nice! Are you adding these to two part or dosing by hand?

All by hand as I run a calcium reactor

Your LFS looks like it gets some pretty nice acro's in. I haven't seen a lot of that around here!

RE: Clam
I have found that clams are finicky, and better not kept by me. I've gone through probably about 10, sold some, killed some, I love them, but I don't expect I'll try them anymore, just like Mandarin's, even the ones that eat frozen.

Oh yeah, he doesn't muck about!! Sustainable Reefs are where most of it comes from and they are hands down the best acro supplier in Aus! lol

I've never had any troubles with clams which is why the loss of my maxima was so upsetting and inexplicable. I'll definitely be getting some more in the future though Just have to come across the right one lol

 

[Wrangy]

If you ever want or need an excuse to try some new supplements, please try the new three products from Coral Essentials!! The missing link for acro's! This is a mates tank under halides at full sun lol no blue led's in this shot

 

[Wrangy]

Did some work on the tank today, mounted the lights higher and a little better installed some fans and fired the halides up again!

The best part is, I've FINALLY got a proper lid for the tank coming!! A gorgeous beauty from Top Lids

 

[Mattres]

I see the tissue paper is still hard at work! The new top looks great! Keen to see the finished product on the tank covering a rainbow of SPS!

 

[Second Shot]

Alright, what am I missing, what’s the deal with the tissue paper lol?
Btw tell your mate to start posting again[emoji12]

Yep, the cheapest ghetto mod ever! haha I can't wait to mount it then fill the tank with pretties!!

haha it cuts the noise of the fans by about 70% and it also acts as a dust filter for the light as our apartment is as airtight as a sieve lol

We got a second kitten in late December so we now have a two cat household again. Let me introduce the naughtiest kitten in the world, Agatha:


She's an Australian Bombay or known as a Mandalay here and we got lucky getting her so soon as there's only 4 breeders in the country and the waiting list is usually 2 years! Our Burmese, Minsky, wasn't particularly pleased by this little ball of terror but they do alright now!




Don't let her fool you, she's extremely cheeky!

 

[Wrangy]

She's even prettier than I was expecting!! Top Lids make an absolutely GORGEOUS lid and I can't recommend them enough, so go and buy one! Lol
