Looks like you didn't need to shut it down at all, nice. Is that a branching frogspawn?

Looking for them within about 20 or so minutes of where i live, will trade darth maul paly's for them or just cash if you would prefer that.

To give you an idea of where my tank came from, here is a shot from around april of this year. Tank was up for about a year at this point, i sold off my coral around october the year before as i was having issues with them (found out later was due to low salinity, i was calibrating the...

Well, i ran the calcium, that has been steady at 440 every test, and is now showing 430. The PH is reading about .05 lower at its peak now, everything is pointing to increased uptake, and if this is correct, about 6x the uptake, i guess the low ph in the tank really did stunt the growth of...

i love acans, just don't have the budget for them right now, lol. I'm not sure if its a fluke or testing error, tested twice though. ph has been higher now for the past 5 days and my dosing on alk has been pretty dialed in though low for what i would say is a decent amount of sps. i was dosing...

I have some coral for trade, not sure where else i would put this. I have a large roughly 5" round christmas favia, growing in my tank i just have too much light at the moment and he is bleaching in areas. He started to color up really nicely and i was going to put it in my sons tank but the...

Well, at 7.8 now and counting, i think the best decision i made was to get the apex light off of Brando instead of going with the JR, without it i would have never bought the probe and wouldn't have known i had a ph issue.

Well, it's downstairs in a bilevel, which is pretty much a finished basement with not much air circulation down here so there probably is a air quality issue down there. All is at 9dkh right now, actually just turned off the dosers for now and letting it go back down then I'm going to adjust the...

Well, after calibrating, getting new solution, recalibrating the ph probe, i found out my tank has been running at 7.63 ph during the day and 7.5 during the night, never thought to check it until i got an apex. i've got an air line running out my window now, hoping this will help. So far it's...

That's a very nice tank you have there!

I really need something a bit prettier than a 5g bucket for top off but it'll do for now. Also need to do some cord management at this point, gotta get to lowes and pick up some stuff.

Well, its getting a bit more manageable and tidy underneath, i just need to make a couple doors now and i'll be set for a while with the stand.

Lol, thanks for getting it to me so quick, its working great!

He's been in there for a year now through all the various mistakes I've made and still good, there's a rock under the sand he attached to. New toy came in yesterday, all hooked up, just having a few issues with a new ph probe, getting more calibration fluid so I'll see how that goes. So many...

Heres a better shot of my dosing setup under the tank, not too pretty, but gets the job done. And a little toy i picked up in anticipation of what will be arriving this week.

Almost forgot, the unknown acro frag, i have no idea what it is yet, it's a pastel purple and bright green corallite tips.

I should also mention the lights are 17 inches above the tank, 90 degree optics. The extra space means i don't bang my elbow and head on it like i did when it was only 10 or so inches above while doing maintenance.

you too, thanks for the blueberry frag!

At it's peak i believe around 78% blue, 38% white. I'm trying to creep the whites up a bit to get some other colors to start popping out.

Just starting this for myself mostly, as a place to document my progress and hopefully watch the reef come alive. Keep in mind all but one photo was taken under white led's only, my iPhone hates blue leds. Equipment would be a reef octo bh2000 hob skimmer, small pump going through 2 reactors...
