240G Dream Tank of Frustration

[gmann]

very nice set up. im considering doing a similar depth tank (30") and was wondering what the coverage of the 3 kessils is like (website says they have a 24" radius)? Did you add the T5's to supplement the kessils, or because they did not cover the whole tank?

thanks,

Geoff

The Kessils cover fairly well . Adding T5's cause I have them & thought I'd give them a try . That way I can add different color as well .
Should be done by weekend & I'll snap a pic.


Just got back from Ryan's with a few frags . Crossing fingers !!!!
Thanks Ryan .

Sorry , no pics this time .
Been trying to get dosers dialed in . I'm close.
Added a few frags , thanks to Ryan & Walter. They seem to be doing good so far , except for 1 - tenius . A bit of STN , but alk is still a bit high - 10 . Moved it & see how it goes.
Picked up a few fish - 2 x anthias , naso , power blue & 2x star fish .
Power blue had ich & I don't have a quarantine tank , so in he went . I'm not super worried about that , cause I know the rest of my fish are quite health.
So far , so good . Ich is very minimal & no signs on any other fish . Now just get him eating & fattened up !
Staining pieces for canopy but weather permitting . Got to finish soon otherwise I'll have to wait till next June . Should be done in 1 week & hopefully I can sit back & enjoy it for a bit - till the next water change .


Flow - I added 2x hydor pumps cycling every 2min for 8hrs day .
Found it was a little much , turned them off & just running the gyre 150 . Surprising it seems good , right now just enough . Amazing for just 1 pump !
