Illuiix Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Ur jus getting back into the hobby too? Link to comment
driftsaru Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 Yep! I've kept a few tanks since my last thread on NR, nothing worth sharing. I hope to change that with this new cadlights tank. Link to comment
driftsaru Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 I added some live rock rubble that was covered in coralline to help seed the tank. Also, I hope it expedites the coralline growth on my dry rock. Link to comment
driftsaru Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ordered an intank media basket! Thanks seńor StevieT! Link to comment

Dramad1 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Your Tank looks amazing, nice job. I gutted mine and drilled it. Looks like nothing compared to yours. Need more info, didn't see any fish in your pic, equip, how long has it been running, 3 months? Link to comment
driftsaru Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 It's been running longer, since the end of cycle it's been a little over three months. I'll put a list soon. Critters: yasha goby and Randal pistol, green spotted mandarin, 2x phantom clowns, and a fire shrimp. Equipment additions include: PLS50 skimmer and an apex jr with all the bells and whistles.

driftsaru Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I focused on buying large pieces of low maintence corals/macros I've done sps dominated and wanted nothing of that again, just a simple, full tank. Link to comment

Just a simple full tank. no I agree! I try to buy colonies when I can, fuller tanks are more enjoyable, just saying woah as in bet that cost a nice penny for all the colonies lol Link to comment
driftsaru Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Not even! I'm a pretty good bargain hunter haha. The purple macro was $20, three huge zoo rocks were 30-40$, and the other stuff was picked up from local reefers for reasonable prices. Way cheaper than 3 1" sticks of high end sps lmao or a frag pack from any vendor. Link to comment

driftsaru Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 things seemed to have balanced out. Im still not sure what happened. the leading theory is a quick o2 depletion due to macro algae going asexual. Link to comment
