Guess what! UPGRADE TIME

[BuschWacker]

Still looking good. Sorry to hear about the losses. What bulb combo will you end up with? I got my ati fixture before Xmas, and am still playing with bulb combos.

I know you told me the last time I was over, but are they ati or kz bulbs or both? I don't remember. I should start taking notes every time I'm there.

I used ATI but moved to KZ. More readily available at Concept and a bit more PAR.

That looks awesome Raied! I just love how the T5s look when they reflect off the water surface. Hows the ballin stuff working out?

Thanks Stanley

Well its too early to comment on the how the balling is treating the tank but its doing the basic job that any other dosing would do, maintaining the level I have it all three solutions set to dose 60ml 1hr apart at night. Was lazy to set it to dose multiple time over the day. This is the outcome:

Alk is being maintained pretty solid. There was a day when I noted 7.0dkh but probably due to error in test.

Calc was being maintained at 410ppm but I noticed it spiked to 440ppm today. Possibly due to water change, doesn't really matter.

Mg was a disaster few weeks ago (due to the bad batch) but it has nicely settled down through water changes and possibly by part c.

My only concern is the cyano (I don't know whether its dying or not). The nitrate has been brought down to below 5ppm from somewhere above 50ppm and phosphate settled to 0.03ppm. Possibly due to all the dead fishes.

Looks good. Great pics.

[Reef Pilot]

Yeah, you are really getting good with that new camera. I love looking at great coral shots, especially at the macro detail level. Can make them look even better than just the naked eye looking at the tank...

Amazing photography skills Raied! I think you have officially lost your newb title, congrats!!
