Juano's 120gals Dream Tank Build

[Juano908]

Quick update, not my favorite but sadly this situations are part of the hobby.
Tank went through the ugly stage and it got really ugly. Red Turf algae got worse and on top of that got Diaton and then Cyano.
Lost every single frag of SPS due to RTN and Hammer heads closed and never reopened again.
Sent water samples for ICP testing and everything came back on check except Aluminum and Silica, both were a bit high.


Been that I have no corals left I did a 5 days tank blackout, on day 3 I dosed Chemiclean and on day 6 I did a 50% WC. Started running some Rowaphos and Brightwell Purit, replaced my DI resin cartridge for Spectrapure Silicabuster and also added an 8×8×4 Marine Pure block dosing Dr. Tim's Eco-Balance.


So far those problems seems to be resolved and tank is showing improvement.

Looks like it has turned the corner. Take it slow you'll get there.

Well, it’s been a while since last time I updated this thread and this is the last one……finally decided to take a break from the hobby, all livestock is already sold.
Wish everyone best of luck and I’ll try to keep in touch and visit the forum whenever I have a chance.
Here is last picture I’ll post and how my tank is looking right now.
Best to all my fellow reefers.

Wow it doesn’t seem that long ago you were setting up the tank but it was in 2020. Enjoy your time but you’ll be back

Juan,

Sorry to see you go! I hope you'll be back when you find that the missing reef tank in your life isn't worth the angst that goes with it!
