- - Guess what! UPGRADE TIME (http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=95797)

For me biopellets are great. I am not a daily doser person. I shake my reactor once or twice a week if I remember.

I'm using a modified tlf550. It works alright. Problem with the tlf550 is the 90 deg elbows inside restrict flow a lot! That's the only reason why I need to shake the reactor.

I started with only 100ml in the reactor then after a few weeks added more and so on. Started very slow and saw no ill affects.

Things are doing great. I can already see the corals throwing in new growths. Even a red monti digi is growing good on the sand bed. So my 4 T5s "SINGLE" reflector pushing in good amount of light on the sand bed. I did order another 2 T5s fixture from aquatraders 10 days ago. Didn't get any sort of update from them regarding shipping, no email reply and no one answered the phone calls so I filed a claim with paypal. Quite ****ed on this.

Got a phosban 150 which I will be using to run biopellet (holding it for now) and will be getting a BRS dual reactor soon to run gfo and carbon.

Anyway, bought a dslr and here's some test shots with it. Not the best photos, reef photography is very hard I must admit!

Tank is looking great!

Hopefully you have good luck with that little tang. I've had terrible luck with the small ones. He looks pretty happy!

Thanks :D

Well I was very skeptical when I was in LFS to buy this small tang. I was standing infront of the tank for like 10mins+ to see how it was behaving and it was so adorable that I couldn't resist. As soon as I released it, it started schooling with the chromis; no hiding or anything. And started eating anything that fits its mouth right away. I hope everything goes alright :)

That tang is so cute and s/he is fat too! The Chromis are probably confused lol.
