DocReef Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 What is the coral on top? Love the tank and sorry about the fish Thank you. It's a Chili Pepper Monti and a Red Monti Cap. Link to comment
FlamingPrawn Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Figured I'd return the favor! How do you like the skimmer so far? I obviously don't have a chance to use mine yet. And i noticed you have an mp10 also... did you notice the 1200 wasn't enough flow? I have a sicce 1.5 and would like to keep it at this. Less in the display tank Also, are you putting kalk or anything else in your ATO? Link to comment
DocReef Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 The skimmer is not bad at all. Took a few weeks to break in, but afterwards had been working pretty well. Lots of thick skimmate. The flow with the MJ1200 is not bad. I have my MP10 at about 30%, so not much additional flow. I think I would have done okay with just the return pump. The MP10 was a gift. No Kalk in ATO. I do Ca/Buffer manual dosing several times a week with no issues. I would try it with the Sicce first. You can always add a pump later. Thanks for visiting. Link to comment

Ok sounds good I planned on using Kalk in my ATO when it comes time. And i'm using the spin streams so idk how much flow i'm going to be restricted to with the sicce guess we''ll see when the time comes also. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nice dendro How do you get the montis to grow like that? Do they do it naturally or did you glue them up sideways? PS: love the acans too Link to comment
DocReef Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Nice dendro How do you get the montis to grow like that? Do they do it naturally or did you glue them up sideways? PS: love the acans too Thanks. Just got the Dendro this week and It's been open the whole time. I've been wanting to get one for a very long time, and finally got a good deal on this guy. The Green Monti had been glued upright when it was fragged and I glued it the same way since I liked how it looked. I originally had the red monti wrapping around the green one, but it was causing the green one to recede and die off (you can still see the remnants of the die off in the right lower corner of the green monti, more than half of it was dead), so I moved the red monti back a bit. I placed it in a crevice between two pieces of live rock and it ended up at an angle. I sort of want it to grow into a cup shape. Thanks, that acan is one of my faves also. Link to comment
teenyreef Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm looking forward to seeing how those montis grow out! I've never thought of gluing the frags like that - they look really cool so far. Link to comment

DocReef Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 beautiful tank! i love your scape. and i am a huge fan of dendros! Thank you. Just got it from ASD this last week and it's been open almost all day. The last one I had a long time ago never opened and eventually died, so I was scared to try one again, but they had a killer deal during their weekend sale and decided to try one out again. No regrets. Link to comment

DocReef Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yes, I did see your Dendros. I think it was your tank that encouraged me to get another one. I need to look into the Balano. I saw that also. Might be my next purchase. Although, I really need a wrasse as my next purchase cause I'm getting too many Pods and snails that are irritating my coral. Link to comment

uwdanno Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Updates plz! How are the new fish doing? No ich? Link to comment
DocReef Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Updates plz! How are the new fish doing? No ich? Thanks for asking. Tank is doing great. Officially ich free. I have a pair of Green Banded Gobies that are nice and fat and a new Red Elongated Dottyback that is a new addition to the tank. So far, so good. My last dottyback committed suicide by swimming head first into my Vortech pump. Link to comment
