Also, I know the UV sterilizer really takes away from the minimalist look (especially with the cord in the tank...) but the water clarity and sand cleanliness benefits have just been so great that I'm not willing to take it out. Let me know what you guys think! looking good to me. the UV def didn't jump out, wouldn't even recognize if it you didn't say anything. Quote Link to comment

And yeah still going strong with it. I probably need to start monitoring my alk more now that the SPS corals are really starting to grow. Quote Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 Things are continuing to grow! Also I ended up ditching the sumpless overflow. It really wasn’t skimming at all and then the internal pump failed causing the entire ATO not to work. Luckily I caught it and replaced it with a standalone surface skimmer with some floss and carbon inside. That is working very well so far and it all takes up less space cutting down on the amount of equipment in the tank. 1 Quote Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 New FTS! You can really see the growth on nearly all of the SPS compared to the last FTS in November. Also I think it looks better without the big overflow box that really wasn't doing anything. Zoas are growing some but not nearly as fast as the SPS. I know they're not the most difficult of SPS, but it is still exciting to see this much growth in a 17 gallon tank with no sump/skimmer. At this point, all I'm doing is feeding some pellets once per day, changing out the floss in the surface skimmer & UV filter about once a week, and doing a 5 gallon WC every 1-2 weeks. Also, the GSP is moved down lower in order to allow the hermits to eat all the GHA off it. When it is up high they can't get to it and the snails don't do much. Once it's nearly overgrown, I'll move it back up. Let me know what you think! 4 2 Quote Link to comment
Zer0 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It’s gorgeous, it looks so much bigger than 17G 1 Quote Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 New FTS! Not too much has changed, just upping the dosage of all-for-reef per day. Also moved the torch and some zoas to a lower light location because I think they're getting blasted with too much light even on the sand. 4 1 Quote Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Tank is doing well!! Had a temperature issue in the house and lost one small SPS frag and most of the red dragon but managed to save two small frags that are now doing well on the floating shelf in the back on the left. Also remounted the pocillopora on top of the small main rock on the right since it outgrew its previous location and will also provide some shade for the zoas which I think they prefer. Let me know what you think! 2 Quote Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Things are growing out nicely! Not really too many updates which is a good thing at this point. Had the macro out to take pictures of some frags I listed today so also took a top down of the pocillopora colony which is getting huge (respectively for my tank...). 3 Quote Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 Finally some new pictures! I recently did a local move which is always terrifying but luckily with the simplicity of the setup it went really well. I took the opportunity to re-scape the right hand side of the tank and am really happy with it. Almost everything is growing great at this point. Zoas are definitely slow but I think that's because I've optimized the tank for SPS. Let me know what you think! 7 Quote Link to comment
