krusing93 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 wow my jaw literally dropped when I saw what happened to your tank from over heating..After reading the entire thread it was awesome to see the evolution of your tank. I just started a fluvial Spec V and have had past experience with both reef and freshwater tanks so any advice or regrets that you can think of shoot them this way! Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment
krusing93 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thanks man. I have experienced some bleaching in my corals, for example my trachyphyllia has turned almost completely white, you can see it in the picture I posted above. I am not sure if that has anything to do with my lighting or not. All my parameters check out good, Ive been trying to feed it more often to see if I can bring it back. As far as changes I am looking into getting the cobalt aquatics neo therm heater and maybe changing out my lights later down the road. But for now I am using my old heater that I use to mix my salt water. The tank was doing well for almost 2 years before the heating issue. I haven't had much salinity issues, only in the summer time when I run the small fan to cool down the tank is when I get a lot of water evaporation. Just using my old heater that I used to mix my salt for now, planning on getting a cobalt aquatics neo therm heater soon. What Watt Heater do you plan on getting? 50 or 25? Quote Link to comment

Thank you Arquisto, I appreciate that! You reminded that I should update this thread! UPDATE: So I've recently moved from NJ to TX. Shipped my corals and ended up losing my two most prized pieces, my torch and frogspawn. I got them as tiny frags and you can see how much they have grown in the pics above, so I'm pretty bummed about that but I recently replaced them with frags from a local reefer down here in TX. Also lost my clownfish and cleaner shrimp. As for other changes, Ive added the PS2 Protein Skimmer along with a different scape, and most recently picked up this awesome scoly for myself as a christmas/birthday present! Onto the pics! Have a safe and Happy New Year reefers! The new scoly and probably the most $$ I've spent on any coral in this tank. But loving it! and finally, this was the lone survivor of the trip. I've had this guy since the beginning, you can go back to my first page and see him. This little dude is indestructible! Love him! 9 Quote Link to comment

yoshii Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Nice tank! Too bad about the coral losses during your move, but your current corals look really great. Do you have a recent FTS? 2 Quote Link to comment
NanoReefNoobie86 Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 Updated pics! Grabbed this gorgeous gorgonian at the Texas Coral Fest this past weekend. Unfortunately it was an impulse buy and after doing research it seems like these are NPS and require a ton of feeding, they dont seem to do well in most tanks. But here are some pics. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
