I use to spot feed the sps corals rotifers and coral frenzy once a week. Now I am a bit lazier and I only feed the corals a small pinch of coral frenzy directly into the display tank every second day. Also every second day i add two drops of KZ coral vitalizer. I do not do water changes unless something goes wrong in my tank such as corals looking stressed or pale, etc. In the year that the tank has been set up in its new location I might have changed out 20g of water lol. I do have a good skimmer and I use filter floss to mechanically remove dirtrius which I stir up in the display with a turkey baster once or twice a week. I have tried both tap and RO water and I notice no difference with either. If you have any more question feel free to ask i enjoy it. |

![]() God I love this tank... I can't wait to see even more pics. Wish you had a macro lense for close up shots of all your sps.

![]() Thanks A lot nebthet. I will see if I can borrow a Dslr with a macro lens again. Its been a while since I used a Dslr and taken some decent quality pictures. If I am correct last time i checked your tank looks like it has cleaned up and went on a growth spurt. Good job with your tank and I look forward to seeing an update on here.

Great work man, not sure if it's been asked yet, but what is your dosing regime like? do you run 2 part with a dosing pump?

1gallon 3 once of kent turbo calcium 1gallon 4 once of baked baking soda 1gallon 6 once of mag cholride I dose the calcium and alk in the mornings in equal parts. I have a very high demand so i go through a lot of it. A one gallon jug of cal or alk last me about a week. At the end of the week I test the levels to make sure they are in line. If they are a bit high then I will cut back a bit and if they are two low I will dose a bit more. I try to keep my alk at 8DKH and my calcium at 420ppm. I am not as strict with magnesium, I dose it randomly and a rarely test it. The corals are not as sensitive to magnesium levels. I aim for 1300ppm but anywhere from 1100-1500ppm will keep them happy. |

![]() Alright, you ask and you shall receive. I borrowed a DSLR and a few different lenses and took a bunch of pictures. I don’t have much camera skills but these are some of the better ones. I should have used a tripod for the macro lens. The pictures were coming out blurring because I couldn’t stay still lol. I think a few of them turned out amazing so i hope you enjoy.
