Wow, that looks great , like a SW version of an Iwagumi
I'm quite jealous of your Coast to Coast

Curious to know why you think you need more MP10s
I run 2 on my 4' 75g and only run them about 75%
Any more and I blast coral flesh

Pics look great man and I can't believe you got that tank looking so good already. Looks like it's been setup a lot longer than 30min

I guess I'm weird that way. There is definitely a lot of flow as I recently added in some Oolite sand. It's blowing everywhere. But I don't see my LPS swaying around too much so... Maybe you are right and another MP10 will be enough.

Thanks.


Update

I decided to re-aquascape prior to adding sand in. I prefer the Iwagumi look of just having two islands instead.



And in goes the sand. It's maybe 5lbs of Oolite sand? A good 1 inch only. I plan to never siphon it but will stir it up regularly. That plus the 3 Vortech MP10's, it moves around a lot.

I just added the sand so it's still covering all the corals/rocks. It's also on the glass which I didn't bother to clean yet.

Here are some close ups. This is from 5 months of bare-bottom with vodka dosing supplementation. I was dosing Foz-down the entire time and kept my tank at ULNS. Parameters were always stable.

See how horrible my corals look? The colors just aren't there. This is why I want to try Zeovit.





Riceboy's special.

Still need to setup the protein skimmer and auto dosers. But to be honest, with regular weekly 10% water changes and instant ocean reef crystals, you don't need to dose much if trying to keep NSW levels.

Very, very nice!

Looks awesome! Super clean looking setup. My daughter just said its pretty too lol.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

I was on vacation and missed out on the great boxing day sales. But I did pop into Wai's Aquarium for the first time and must have spent two hours talking to Danny there. What a great guy and I can't believe I never went there before. This is now my favorite store in all of Calgary and he took all of my money .

We'll not much to report this time. I reduced my photoperiod to 5 hours only for the daylights and my corals are no longer pale. They are slowly coloring up. I'm in the process of mounting my corals within the tank so no photos for now.

I did finish mounting everything in the cabinet yesterday.











I also decided against going full ZEOvit. I'm going to hybrid it as follows:

Carbon Dosing - Vodka + Microbacter7 & ZEObac + Fozdown (when required)
Coloration & food - Iodine, AA, CoralVital, Pohls Xtra, DT's phyto & Roti-Feast

Also going to feed my clownfish a balanced mix of frozen food
