sprite Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 After the last yr of battling aefw and Dino's twice, I decided to start fresh with a new tank for this yr. This tank has been running since the beginning of Nov. I'm using the stock return pump, Intank floss holder, no skimmer. Controlled by Reef Angel controller for ato, temp and water change mode. Started out with 250 radium Then decided to go with the new radion xr30 g4 about 2 weeks ago Some frag shots Recent Reef Pets frags WCR Game Changer Game Changer and a freebie frag that's getting nicer A Reef pet frag I can't remember name now and pink lemonade frag that's green for now. I'm slowly moving it up to higher light. Strawberry Fields with no strawberries at the moment Link to comment
markalot Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I like the Halide better. Good luck this time around. Link to comment
uwdanno Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Nice looking frags. I'll be interested to see how those ReefPets frags acclimate. Their colors always looks very unique but I have to believe they have some funky parameters in their tanks. Link to comment

That Radion sure looks a lot more sleek @sprite! Have you noticed your corals responding to the change of lighting? How's the transition been? Link to comment

The halide just heated the water up to much in the summer and I hated seeing a fan up there ? 2 hours ago, cnseekatz said: Haha... looked like a warming station at a buffet. Love the Radion...

A JF Fox Flame that has never colored up for me is beginning to get the yellow tips for example. Link to comment

Their colors always looks very unique but I have to believe they have some funky parameters in their tanks. @uwdanno Thanks...Reef Pets run a 250w radium. All the other frags I bought from them held color very well. The red and tall blue frag has gotten deeper under the radion. I'm not sure if it's cause of my light being turned down right now or not but today I raise intensity a bit, so we'll see in a few weeks. Also I like to run between 5-10 nitrates and under .03 phosphate so that may also be a reason for the darkening. Link to comment

sprite Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Some new additions today RRC pink Cadillac RR USA pink floyd OG Oregon tort Wet Thumbs Mother of Pearl Z's Avenger Z's tropic Link to comment
sprite Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Also just added a profilux doser. I was manual dosing but when I would forget to dose it didn't hurt much. Now in the last couple weeks if I forget to dose my ALK will drop almost a half a point. Hoping this doser takes care of the fluctuations. Link to comment
sprite Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Liking this one more and more.... And to think i almost passed on it ? Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 What's the name of that one? It has great colors, looks like a vigorous grower too. Link to comment
sprite Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hi Chris...Z's tropic is the name I bought it by..I can't find much info on it though. Link to comment
Militant Jurist Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Looking great so far! It will be interesting to see the growth rate you can get. Link to comment
sprite Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks!! I will say...A week after changing to the radions, my ALK consumption had gone up. Water changes is no longer keeping up with ALK demands like it was under the radium. Not sure if it was the light change that sparked something or just timing. Link to comment
YaBoyLaj Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Really diggin the look of this tank! Looking forward to watching this grow Link to comment
