William Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I went ahead and added a DIY Kalk reactor, which doses 220ml of saturated solution from the hours of 1am to 11am. It seems to be working fairly well, as my nightly Ph drop has been significantly blunted. My all and Ca are also stable. 1 Quote Link to comment
William Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 So I have set up my new lights. I will test it for a few days before I make my final verdict. I am so far very happy with the Greater color rendition and lower light spill. However there are corners of the tank that are shadowed that we’re not under the two Red Sea reef LED 90s. 1 Quote Link to comment

William Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 BRS par meter will be here next week. will post par specs of the new light then. Will also run par numbers on my mantis nano Quote Link to comment
William Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Jsut went to Manhattan Aquariums, they had another browned out acro colony (5”x7”) for $40 so I picked it up. They also sold me an orange BTA (not sure what type) for $75 (the guy was new). 1 Quote Link to comment
William Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 I may end up fragging this up as I don’t think I have room for the whole colony, still can’t believe they sold me this for $40 1 1 Quote Link to comment
William Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 The anemone is still pretty pissed off... I may end up putting this in the mantis Nano, but for now it will stay in the anemone box in the main tank. 2 Quote Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 That's a nice mariculture acro! Looks like a millepora. I'd recommend keeping it for a couple months and making sure it grows & has good PE before fragging it. Mariculture/Aquacultured milles can be touchy at times. 2 Quote Link to comment

Thanks, and I agree, the only issue is that I’m not sure I have room for it, and I dont want to leave it on the bottom of my tank Quote Link to comment
William Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Everything is going well, even with me going out of town for 15 days. I did pick up a CSB a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be doing well after wandering for a bit . 3 1 Quote Link to comment

William Posted July 16, 2020 Author Share Posted July 16, 2020 I also got a notification from live aquaria that they have a Mombasa lionfish in stock, so I went ahead and ordered it. It will be here on Tuesday 4 Quote Link to comment

Yea, i was pretty upset about it, the fish was supposed to ship out yesterday and I did not get an email about it until today. When i called, they just said that the fish was unavailable .....

William Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 The tank has had a troubled couple of weeks, my trident was poorly calibrated and read my CA as 300 when it was 600, so I way overdosed my Ca and killed most of my SPS. 3 Quote Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Sorry to hear @William 😔 Quote Link to comment
ef4life Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 That sucks. Sorry to hear that. I wonder how the trident went out of calibration that far. Quote Link to comment
William Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 I went ahead and decided to change up my rock scape. I may try and build up the right side a bit more, but in general I like the more open scape. 3 Quote Link to comment
