HighCurrent Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Update I decided to add a fish. Cute little yellow clown goby. I also added 5 turbo snails and 5 nassarius snails. My biggest battle so far is a bit of GHA on the rear and side pane that I can't reach with the magfloat. Other than that I can complain at all! Also, added chemipure elite to the media basket. I haven't used this stuff before but it seems A LOT of people are seeing great results from it. I should also have my ESV B-Ionic here tomorrow. I change my water every sunday. I change 5 gallons every time, which is about 45% of my total volume. Much to my surprise, my alk is only measuring 7dkh (Salifert). I am VERY happy with how my SPS are reacting to the tank. My orange tip millie is already starting to base toward the rock and my coraline is really taking off. I would like to keep my dkh around 8-9 in this tank since the bio load is very low. I have never used ESV 2 part but I am really hoping that I will like it and look forward to trying it out! Thanks for reading everyone! Quote Link to comment

HighCurrent Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Updated OP with current FTS 3-18-2017 - VERY noticeable growth on the purple stylo. Must be where all my alk and calc are going lol. Quote Link to comment
HighCurrent Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Also, decided that since my SPS is doing so well I would add a turquoise lovelli and a pink and green pocilipora! Quote Link to comment
Bowen1022 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Sweet looking tank! If I didn't already have a Fusion 10 I was going to get this one for when I downsized. Will be following! 1 Quote Link to comment

I really thought about getting the 10 but decided the scape could be a little more intersecting with the added length, Quote Link to comment
HighCurrent Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Well...I bit the bullet. Can't wait until it colors up all the way! Quote Link to comment

Kyl Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Nice work on the tank! Is your spinstream still noisy? If so, take it apart and make sure the gears are sitting correctly. It will be somewhat loud for a day or so before it slimes up, but it should not be after that. I have three running on my nanos about three feet from the foot of my bed, and they are inaudible. 1 Quote Link to comment

However I am not doing some testing of my acro to see which nozzle they prefer. Quote Link to comment
HighCurrent Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 I FINALLY got all my dosers, plumbing, wire all set. No more manual dosing for this guy!! Just need to whip up a cover to go over the stand. 3 Quote Link to comment

HighCurrent Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I also decided with success of the A80 that I would order the Kessil control to compliment the A80! Quote Link to comment

I don't know what the deal is but the color and quality of these photos are not great to say the least. However, I don't have time to take new ones right now so these will have to suffice! Not everything is as happy as I want but A LOT of things are really starting to take off. The growth on my purple stylo is kind of outta control. Also, added the spectral controller....and a yuma frag...and red planet acro...I think I may have to sell something out of here soon! 4 Quote Link to comment
