Greg's 75g

The new dosing pumps continue to work well, after replacing a bad timer
Good thing I set them to be 'on' when I'm home though ...

I was ready to leave for work one day this week and decided to wait until the Ca pump timer shut down. It went 'click', the screen went blank, and the pump kept running Would have been on for 10 hours before I got home from work
I've since bought a new timer, to replace the 10 year old one and all is well

I've been using Seachem powders;

Reef Builder
Alk 7+

Reef Advantage Calcium
Ca 410-420

And, due to the above 2 in combination with my IO salt, I don't currently dose Mag
Mag 1400-1450

Hopefully this dosing, along with the extra feedings to the fish, and some 2-3 week coral feedings, will turn my corals around

Just cruised through your build thread...

Thanks for the compliment about my wiring, but compared to yours mine looks like it is in a state of chaos!

Awesome job, I loved seeing the chaeto tumble in the youtube video near the beginning of your thread. How fast has it grown since then? That special chaeto tank seems like the perfect environment for chaeto.

Thanks Jake. OCD can be a curse, but it has it's advantages

That batch of Chaeto melted away in about a week as the tank was too new. I haven't tried any again until now
This month on the 6th I bought some looking for pods, and it's staying bright green and growing slightly
It doesn't currently tumble as I changed the pump config to slower flow and haven't decided on adding a powerhead yet

I don't tumble mine at all and it's fine. I do flip it every few days though.

Glad to hear it's working as that's been my routine

Below is our new McCosker's in the QT
I'm picking up a Canary/Yellow Coris this weekend, and then going Hypo as this new guy appears to have the dreaded MI
I also wanted a very juvi Redtail Tamarin ( currently has a white tail ), but it's MIA @ J&L
