I I started my tank around the same time you did in November and it’s also a 125 gallon display. While my tank was cycling and fish only I pieced things together. The only thing I bought brand new was the sump and feel I got pretty good deals on the rest. I got used lighting from different...
I was finally able to fish my saltwater mixing station. So much easier to transfer the water now into the drums. The rodi line goes into the top 55 gallon drum and then I can open a valve to drop the water into the 30 gallon drum with a powerhead in it to mix the saltwater. Maybe one day I’ll...
Thanks! I'm in Manalapan. I was at your house with my daughter recently picking up fish from NY Aquatics we ordered. I appreciate the offer I may take you up on it.
Thanks Amado, i think i started slow with the GFO by only filling the reactor halfway. The hammer and frogspawn were under the powerheads so they weren't getting too much flow. I moved them out a little bit from underneath to see if that helps.
So far no algae bloom. The tank doesn't have much algae so far even though it's only 6 months old now. I didn't seem to go through the ugly phase very long.
I too run a refugium, skimmer runs 24/7, and a few MarinePure blocks in the sump and live rock along with filter socks that i change every 3-4 days.. I'm running bare bottom so i felt the blocks would be needed to make up for having no sand. Maybe I'll set the timer for my skimmer with the APEX...
Yes I agree and thought it was odd as well. I use the Hannah Phosphate checker and the red sea nitrate. They both have been reading like this for a over a month now. I got both of them last summer brand new so they're less than a year old.
Good Morning, I'm having a hard time getting my frogspawn and hammer corals to open up. Also I'm starting to notice a little bleaching on the tip of one my acros. My nitrates are 0 and I'm trying to get them up with a little heavier feeding. Any other ideas to raise them without dosing nitrates...
How is it going now? I didn't realize it continued through the night. The winds were horrible last night. I read one firefighter was in critical condition, i pray he makes it through.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about the tank. I’ve moved most of the fish and coral from the biocube over and getting ready to add a few anemone and clowns to that tank. I’ve gotten some awesome looking corals from fellow Reefers that are slowly showing some growth. I’ve recently added a...
