chrisjj625 Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 very nice. i want to start keeping some sps. what do you do to keep the water quality up? Lots of water changes i imagine? the growth of your corals from the start is impressive. good luck. I change the water once a week about 5 gallons. I also dose everyday Cal, Alk, MB7, Biofuel, and KoralCoral. The two part is essential because my tank eats alk and cal for breakfast. IDK, I thought mine looked pretty sweet! http://www.nano-reef.com/featured/?tank=13 Yours is awesome man I love the color you are getting and the mix looks very natural. How long have you had that dendro? how many heads did you start with I can't get mine to sprout new heads fro the life of me. Link to comment

chrisjj625 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Fun stuff, added too much GFO and my corals began bleaching. Been about a week now and have taken it out and tank is in recovery stages. Only have lost on little frag and I think he might make a come back. We shall see. Anyway kind of depressed and not happy that I am in recovery instead of moving forward. Lesson learned quit adding so much crap to your tank. Link to comment

Lesson learned quit adding so much crap to your tank. how much was too much ? did you use the recommended amount or just add a bunch ? just wondering as I am using the recommended amount but im seeing some bleaching but i suspect its my lights causing the issue. did you see a drop in a parameter that made you suspect the GFO Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Well I had went on vacation for a week and came back to some algae so I kinda freaked out and just threw some rowphos in. Thought I had done this amount before, but obviously not. Thats really the only thing I changed which is why I assume that was the problem. Link to comment

chrisjj625 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Picked up a new toy...Apex lite so excited to clean up my cabinet. Still waiting on a wireless extender so I can control everything from my phone. Link to comment
chrisjj625 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Got the Apex all set up finally. I also got it connected through my router wirelessly so I can control everything form my phone=awesome. I also now will get texts if anything should go wrong. Next vacation will be so much less stress. Oh and I also did a full reaquascaped today of most of my tank. Moved a lot of corals around to hopefully get some better colors/views of them. Pics to come after everything stops being pissed off. BTW aquascapeing is still the worst thing ever. Think I should move this one rock...2 hours later everything redone. Gotta love this hobby.

metrokat Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 That is a cool coral, I'm looking for one that isn't going to cost me my first born child but refuse to get a piddley little frag. Link to comment
