Dez' Tank Journal

[saltynuts]

with your calcium reactor m are you going to try that neomag.

[Dez]

I will probably try it out next Ca reactor fill which is in who knows how long, my calcium reactor is so full that it takes a long time before it runs out of media.

Just a full tank shot cause I haven't taken one in a while. It's getting pretty full. I'm slowly deciding on corals that I like less and in the process of removing them to allow the favourites and more colourful ones grow out.

Thanks for looking.

I can't BELIEVE how fast you grew that tank so full Dez. In a way you must be a little sad to see it approaching the water's surface so fast lol. You're going to have to get the kids started on a new tank soon

Brett, definitely no upgrade for me (ever), so I'll have to live with what I have. It is kind of nice that I hardly ever have to put my hands in the tank now as it's settled in quite nicely and most of the corals are encrusted so I don't have corals falling over anymore. It sometimes pains me to see corals grow. I recently removed my blue tipped stag that I grew from a frag, I measured it when I took it out and it was 10". But it was tan with blue tips, so not colourful enough. I might have to do what John is doing in about a year - tear it all down and start from scratch just for a different look. Or I might just keep removing corals and let the choice pieces grow huge. Who knows, all I know now is that I'm enjoying the tank and my major expenses are done with. Man, starting out (even with a bunch of equipment to begin with) is so expensive.

Thanks Laurie, I always have frags available. If you're going on the tank tour then you'll be able to see what frags I have. Thanks for the nice comments.

Thanks Leah, I think it's far from TOTM, not quite mature enough for a TOTM. It's gotta grow another year yet and all the corals have to create that "forrest" look. Thanks for the props.
