Myka's 90 gallon build & 3 province move (Pics Feb 6)

[Myka]

Wow, I haven't posted on here in a long time! The tank has been a polluted dump since the tank sitter was primarily looking after it for 8 consecutive months. I have also been using an under-sized skimmer (SWC 120 Cone) on it since I got fed up with the EuroReef overflowing and needing adjustment which the tank sitter wasn't good at doing. So the under-sized SWC was the better option. Still, the SPS were browning out, and LPS were happy as a clam! There has also been little growth in the last 6 months, and a healthy covering of cyano over most of the sand.

I finally had enough and started dosing Prodibio Bioptim and Biodigest (aka BioClean) in mid-June. What difference! I'm sold on this stuff! I also ordered a SWC 180 Cone from The Reef Shoppe which will be arriving on Tuesday. Woohoo!

I am now home full-time, no more working out of province so I can clean up the tank finally! Yesterday I switched out the GFO which had been in there since April. I also removed the carbon which had been in there since April too. I will add some fresh carbon back in next week since it will be enough shock to the system to add fresh GFO.

The SPS aren't very impressive right now, so I took some pics of some of the LPS for you guys.










This guy has a third mouth on the other side. Nice piece.




FTS from July 3. I should have taken before Prodibio FT photos to compare. This is 3 days after the second dose.
