What kind of tile are those?

What kind of tile are those?

 

The ones in this tank are 3" square ceramic tiles from Alternative Reef. The ones in my raceway are 4 and 6" tumbled travertine tile from Home Depot. The travertine has a lot more thickness and weight.

Some recent tank changes,

 

Switched from a full size media reactor (Avast) to a BRS reactor. I think the canister style will make changing out GFO much easier (its my most hated maintenance item). Also I am no longer sticking carbon in a reactor but rather in a bag in the sump.

 

 

 

Switched from 10 liter to 20 liter semi-clear buckets for the Triton elements storage. This means I only need to refill my dosing containers every 50ish days instead of 25ish. The acros in this system suck this stuff down like no ones business.

Some RoyalBlue LED-only shots. Sorry for the blurryness, less white light = longer exposure on the camera. Recently changed the T5 bulbs so they are on straight on-off not dimming until they break in. So some at night its LED only

Why the switch from carbon in a reactor, to just using a bag in the sump?

One less piece of equipment I guess. If the flow through the sump is good and you have the space there is no reason why carbon couldn't be run in a bag. I've never had an issue with the bag method myself, I only changed to a reactor when I started to run out of space.

Hatred for the process of removing, emptying, cleaning, refilling, rinsing, and placing back the reactor.

 

Bag is more or less effective and 1/10th the hassle.

So this is what happens when you put an Aussie Blue Squamosa directly under 400w halides for 3 months... shell growth. Shell growth by the truckload. Pretty sure thats 1" of growth in 3 months.

 

Just moved this bad boy to the display...

 

I dont know but its sexy AF.

 

And it's also nearly twice that size now.

A little bit of cyano since starting up Acropower again, we shall see how it goes. Tank is running like a well oiled machine.

Just for you Kat,

 

[HarryPotter]

Oh man... Your stuff is the best! Have to try HOS

[JR!]

Just for you Kat,

 

thats crazy growth

[sangheili]

thats crazy growth

Once they are established, "Dragon" type acros tend to grow very very fast.

[JR!]

​how much flow and light you have that acro in? might have to try one like that

[sangheili]

​how much flow and light you have that acro in? might have to try one like that

Without checking with PAR meter, I believe around 350PAR. Fairly good flow, my Gyre keeps all the tank moving pretty much. Nothing is blowing directly on it.

[sangheili]

Another super fast grower...

[GtTap]

Wtf man (sorry). How the hell are you doing this. Tell me please. One thing i see is i need to switch over to T5.

[HM3105]

Another super fast grower...

 

That growth is pretty awesome, I know you're using Triton are you by chance using any type of other addins such as amino's or acropower?

[Spiderguardnano]

What light are you running?
