well time for an update:P


the tank has seen some ups and downs as with any new tank but finally got it back on track.

i lost most of the sps, dealt with some hidden nutrients and mixed with a bout of AEFW and monti nudis i pulled what was left out , so now i guess im all lps and zoas lol


the biopelllets have finally established and the gfo is keeping the rest down so all algae has disappeared and im doing 93g water changes once a week , after a bit longer i will switch to once every two weeks.

i am dosing alk and calcium as well as mg constantly and have finally found a dose that keeps it stable. dosing calcium chloride, soda ash as well mag(mix of sulphate and chloride)

i doubt i will add much back for sps i did keep a small red planet acro in there as well as a yellow millie but the rest got pulled.

i am now back in the stocking stages and have added a bunch of highend zoanthids , mostly one and two polyp frags so time will be needed to notice them lol

i recently added another ghl and then lowered them down 4" from where they were before , seems to have a positive effect. the new ghl is a 6100 while the other three are a 6200 i have some tinkering to do as far as visual color goes lol

i also did the skirting on the stand we went with black 12" x12" tiles trimmed with schluter and the doors are gloss black acrlyic that will have a peel and stick vinyl sticker with concepts compant logo on it
