Funkateer_1 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 One week and no comments or likes. I guess nobody here likes tanks full of brown corals and damsels haha Link to comment
vlangel Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 One week and no comments or likes. I guess nobody here likes tanks full of brown corals and damsels hahaI am sorry funkateer. There are so many tanks and so little time. No, actually I like your tank and I never hated on damsels. I will say those dominos are so cute as juveniles but they grow up to be rather chunky, plain and meaner than other damsel species. I am thinking that your macro sump is keeping nutrients down but do you ever dose magnesium, iron and an occasional squirt of iodine? Softies and macros will use those elements out of the water column and without more frequent water changes they are probably using them up faster than they are being replenished. Link to comment

Softies and macros will use those elements out of the water column and without more frequent water changes they are probably using them up faster than they are being replenished. The macro tank is totally independent. I will tie them together when I go back to a sump based system. Hopefully within the next year or so. Since I moved out of Socal and got of the industry finding custom tank builders has been hard. I use ME products for KH, CA, and MG. I test occasionally and tweak as needed. I just did a ~1g water change with water from the coral bags I just got haha. Here's an obligatory 'under the tank' shot. Link to comment
Funkateer_1 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Gorgeous pair of Onyx! Thanks. They are why I kept the tank going. I've had them for a long time. Male is 10 years old (wild caught) and the female is 4 (captive bred). Drove them across country in a bucket Link to comment
Funkateer_1 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Quick candid from last night. Like you can see everything Also a picture of the back. Pretty simple. Mechanical filtration (polyfilter and Aquaclear filter foam), skimmer, and a CPR reactor with Reef Ceramic Spheres. Link to comment
