Reefer madness 420 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 Howdy all, Tanks doing pretty amazing for being very new! I'm having success with keeping SPS. Right now were in a transition phase as I have been working on my high phosphates and water chemistry. I have added a TLF 150 reactor with ROWA due to my high phosphates (0.29). My parameters are as follows: P 0.00 Alk 6.5 Nitrates 40ppm Mg 1230ppm Ca 440ppm I am working on raising the phosphates by feeding reef roids more often. I am also staring to dose slowly to raise alk and I may start trying to get magnesium up a little more. To do this I'm using red sea a, b and c. I stopped dosing purple up as i had really high calcium and I see some bew coraline growth. I have since added a nice big mat of GSP on my glass wall and a few more corals. I also got a orange and yellow filter to really be able to show the color. Tonight I made a DIY $20 skimmer using a fluval mini siphoned and an air stone. Seems to be working but I have no experience with skimmers. I out some filter floss at the opening because it is in my display. The foam is white as of now and it is collecting some liquids. I think I'll have to cut the tab inside the siphon as its popping the bubbles and I doubt that's efficent. I have also ordered a custom AIO frag tank measuring 24x25x12 as my corals have explosive growth and I have such a tiny tank. As for my final coral addition I'm thinking a rr dynamite or rainbow chalice. I am also adding two small mocha storms which are now with the breeder growing. Here's some pics taken at various times😁 1 Quote Link to comment
