I've learned a lot from people I've met along the ways and applied their methods to mine. Water change: 20% every three weeks... I would like to do 20% every two weeks if time permits. I see vast improvements when I went from four to three. Dosing: DIY Alk, CA and MG right now... Planning to go with CA reactor soon... Probably in a yr.. Just want to use up what supply I have left still before switching. Carbon:changed every two weeks and I top up the biopellets when it gets low in the reactor. I am thinking of adding back GFO if I can't fight off the cyano Skimmer: clean the skimmer cup once a week and the whole skimmer twice a yr.. ATO:but not currently using it as I am able to top off daily right now ( why I don't use it as it gives me a reason to spend some time with the tank). I do plan to use it if I do get go away for a few days, holiday etc... Having the salinity levels being consistent helps... Feeding: feed frozen food every two or three days and if feed nori and dry pellets daily ( but lightly, of course). Other Dosing: add Zeozym twice a week ( I am adding daily right now) starting dec 5th Coral Snow nightly Vinegar daily MB7 weekly Biomate weekly I am planning to make some changes soon particularly on the rockscaping... Now that I have a better idea of how each of the SPS are growing I can redo the Tank. Thank goodness I have kept my 90 gallon in the garage. I won't be keeping all the corals so I am planning to have a second/ frag tank in the garage soon. Planning on this now... Devating to getting a new 4 ft long tank but shallower... 18 inches instead of 24? Considering changing the main lights and use the current lights for the garage tank... Any advice and recommendations? |

![]() That's the idea, but you and I both know that in this hobby that's a hard rule for us with OCD to follow

So here is my Christmas wish list... - two mitras or two radion (pro) - vertex alpha 200 skimmer ( or BK) I have extra power heads, return pumps, phosban reactors and heaters so I won't need to spend on these... ![]() |

![]() Learned that I do not have cyano ( thanks, Brad!) instead have red turf algae.
![]() ![]() So, went the the LFS and picked up five mexican turbo snails and eyeing on a rabbit fish to work on the red turf. After another 20% water change today I checked the PO4 level with the Hanna... .23... Almost fainted... Did another test again and the same result... ![]() Then it hit me... I forgot to divide by 1000. Need to convert from ppb to ppm. ![]() |
