Super CatPig Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I love your little hector's goby. Nice shot of him. I never realized that they wear lipstick! My monti just started growing on the glass. I thought it looked interesting but yours looks amazing. Really nice coral in there. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I love your little hector's goby. Nice shot of him. I never realized that they wear lipstick! My monti just started growing on the glass. I thought it looked interesting but yours looks amazing. Really nice coral in there. Thanks, yeah the monti is great but it has started growing even faster lately and is growing on the front glass now too and has reached the back pump. I think it is time to chop it up a bit but I really hate to, I just wish my tank was 24" or more front to back so it could keep getting wider. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Rescaped and cleaned things up a bit, still a ways to go until i'm happy with the scape and coral placement. Actinic shot, not the best but you get the idea hehe. http://s717.photobucket.com/user/mgdmirage/media/036_zpsceba22c8.jpg.html'> Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 It is pretty wild looking at my 3/31/2013 orange digi growth to the 6/14/2013 shot lol. Stuff grows like crazy and is just sitting on the sand bed. Korallin Calcium Reactor has been running for past month and i'm still trying to dial it in, but so far it is way more stable than my 2 part dosing My current parameters are 8dKH and 440 calcium. Eventually once I have it set right I want 9 dKH and 440 calcium. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Mine is the same.. If I do water changes weekly it drops to 7.5 If I do them when I'm not lazy, the alk sticks at 8.5 Weird lol Link to comment

If I do water changes weekly it drops to 7.5 If I do them when I'm not lazy, the alk sticks at 8.5 Weird lol Yeah my alk drops super fast even If I forgot to dose one day. 2 part dosing became a chore and I didn't feel like getting dosing pumps seemed pointless since I won this reactor from marinedepot hehe. Then a local was selling a 10lb co2 tank brand new and filled for $20 so I couldn't resist. Link to comment

MGDMIRAGE Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Love this build. Love the monti.. Nice tank! Thank you so much! I kind of have a love hate relationship with the monti at the moment, it is starting to take over the tank hehe. Maybe I should put some NPS corals under it, sun coral and some gorgs lol.
