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.

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

Your tank looks great! Like sphelps, I can't believe that one photo showed 30 mins after transfer! I love the rockwork. I think oolite sand in an SPS tank is a terrible idea, but I hope it works for you. If all else fails you can siphon it out and add a coarser sand. My fav for an SPS tank would be the Caribsea Special Grade, although I prefer BB. Check out Fauna Marin Balling Light for dosing...works well for SPS.

I like how you mounted your dosing pumps, Are they right over your sump and where do you keep your dosing jugs??

Well I regret this comment now. I no longer recommend this store and will not be going back.
