DSA 135....

[art13]

Only had the return pump going so far, turned on the wave makers today as I thought the nem got a good footing, I was wrong. After about an hour he tried to fly away again, so I'm guessing he's going to take longer to attach, fed him today and he ate so that's good.

Yup meant lower right. Nice piece!

I got some very nice stuff off Anthony in exchange for my SPS, I'm happy with it. He had so much stuff there.

First round of new corals, tank looks a bit more barren now, but should start filling in nicely. Took me 12-15 hours to get the nem to stick, lol.

Me like it, good luck with them.

Nem finally attached itself after two days and I can turn the power heads on again, tank was running off the return pump only. Moved the pumps a bit and turned the apex pumps down from 100% at peak down to 30% peak so I don't blow the Lps away, lol.

And the pics I've been waiting for, lol. 5 acans, 2 scolys and a chalice, scolys are still mad from the dip. The acan hilli is not new, just happens to be in the photo.

Thanks man, it's getting there, i'll probably need some more coral to fill in some gaps and wait for the grow out. Favorite thing to do is a few hours after lights out is feed the lps now.

Nice dude! Are those the pieces you ordered from mark at ultimate corals?

They are, couldn't resist the labor day sale he had.

Looking good.

Shot of the two scolys inflated now along with a full tank shot with and without the filter.

I've been waiting a while to get a green mandarin as they aren't normally something that is stocked at the shop i go to, so today decided to order a pair from blue zoo. In addition to that, i ordered two atlantic lettuce slugs, Elysia crispata, and after doing enough research on them it looks like they eat bryopsis exclusively, i'm hoping they put a dent at what is in my tank, i'm tired of going the chemical route. After adding them up, i figured i might as well hit the free shipping mark, got a porcelain crab, anemone porcelain crab, flame scallop (will be a challenge), blue linckia star (another challenge), and a second tiger conch for the tank.

Art, whats the higher Nitrate level you had in your tank while dosing nitrate?
The reason I asked is cause when I started NO3 dosing my tank had 0ppm nitrate, I dosed too much by mistake and brought it close to 40ppm and the next day I noticed the bryopsis started to die.
Here is a pic of my tank today with Nitrate at near 20ppm.


I know every tank is different but it worked in my tank.

It's at 10ppm, I'm not sure about raising it that much with some of the inverts I have coming. We will see

You are right about the inverts.

I tossed in 5ppm more, it will be gone in a few days but I'll see if that does anything to it.

I also have the auto water change doing 10000ml a day now to bring down the mag a bit from 1800 and renew the tank a bit before the harder to keep stuff comes this week.
