Weetabix7 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 The tank looks very nice in the FTS. I'm a little confused, did you say that you are now using public water and seeing less GHA as a result? Link to comment

I'm a little confused, did you say that you are now using public water and seeing less GHA as a result? Yes, I was on well water running it through my ro/di. Now Im on public water running it through my ro/di. Its less work on my membrane and my tds should always stay around zero now Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Looks awesome DT!! happy the move went alright Link to comment
dtfleming Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Tks. Ladies. I installed my BRS GFO reactor today. So we'll see how that does to help reduce the GHA. Oh just for the record. ph-8.3 sg. 1.026 ammonia-0 nitrate-0 nitrite-0 alk-10 CA-420 mg 1450 I'll prob hit up brshiver in alittle while to get some frags. Looking to replace the sunset monit, rainbow, purple digi and see what else he has. Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Glad it went well dt Looks good Link to comment
dtfleming Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 So i went back to running 6 bulbs again. Current bulb arrangement: Front blue+ aquablue special blue+ figi purple blue+ pure actinic. To me it looks like a phoenix 14K with a pop to the corals. Christmas wrasse is finally swimming around some. I think Im gonna sell off some of my acros. I would like to get some more higher end monti digis, a branching cyphastrea, sunset and rainbow monti and one or two more lps such as open trach or lobo. Link to comment
dtfleming Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Update. Tank is looking better. I need to replace some of my bulbs as they are well over a year old. I received a gift cert for Christmas, so I got 20 snails and a very nice RBTA from Divers Den. Some of my SPS are making a come back. Link to comment
dtfleming Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Tks, glad to see u back with a pico again. those gorgs should do well in there Link to comment
travisurfer Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Tks, glad to see u back with a pico again. those gorgs should do well in there Thanks. I just uploaded some fresh-baked photos, but so far the gorgs have been showing some awesome polyp extension. I can't wait to see what happens once I start feeding them... Link to comment
dtfleming Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 They will do good. I had all three of those in my 15 carribbean tank. The purple gorg keeps growing back in my 40. even after I cut it down. Link to comment

The purple gorg keeps growing back in my 40. even after I cut it down. Sounds promising. I ended up with some Phytoplex to supplement although the gorgs I have are mostly photosynthetic. I can't wait to see them fill up this tank Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Looking good dt! Sweet growth pattern on the birds nest. Link to comment
purplepeopleeater! Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Color me green that is one nice tank I would be proud to call it mine Link to comment
dtfleming Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Tks, Looks like the GHA is getting under control. I've been putting some things off on this tank. I need to start getting some new T5 bulbs as most are a year and half old. I also need to replace my fuge light bulb. I need to order some more salt for the tank. I am think about trying the new ESV salt, as 50gal is only $35. Link to comment
purplepeopleeater! Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 man your tank looks really good got a question for you is that a "quiet one" pump that you have for a return pump? if so how do you like it is it quiet like the name implies also i bought a 5 gallon bucket of salt for like $41 but my girlfriend works at petsmart it makes up 160 gallons plus now ill have another 5gallon bucket other wise look at the boxes they are a pretty good deal Link to comment

Lalani Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Looking good! Except for the algae.... bryopsis? Link to comment
dtfleming Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Looking good!Except for the algae.... bryopsis? Dunno, GHA and other crap that is getting on my nerves. This is why I dumped the sand bed in the fuge and tank. GFO reactor, just got new filters in. Switched to a new salt mix. CUC coming tomorrow from Reefcleaners. If none of the above works, Im going to take the tank down. Link to comment
