    210 gallon Dream tank

    IO mixes at the same elevated or sometimes even higher alk than coral pro. You will end up fighting the high alk for awhile as your consumption will be very low for a long time. If I were you I'd save this for use for water changes but fill up with either NSW from Bob or red sea blue. Your...

    The 225 Gal Monster

    So far I like it better than the Radion. They have a V2 now. So I'll compare the V1 and V2 once it comes in.

    The 225 Gal Monster

    Thanks. It was maybe too fat as are all my fish since they get spoiled with plenty of feedings. Sad about the loss as it was one of my first saltwater fish when I just started.

    The 225 Gal Monster

    DIY. Window screen frame, clear 1/8th screen and a 3d printed feed door that I've had laying around. Then glue some acrylic tabs to the top so it can sit on the euro brace. Been trying to think of a way to make a turnable tab that can lock under the bottom of the euro brace at multiple spots as...

    The 225 Gal Monster

    (Recap of last update) Been a while since I've updated. Went through a nasty crash back in July where my Kamoer X1 Bluetooth decided to overdose kalk while I was gone for a week. Alk jumped to 15dkh. Lost a lot of coral over the following months and lost motivation on the tank. Before the trip I...

    DBTC: WWC Cherry Garcia Chalice

    Hard to get a good pic but I'm positive by the rock structures surrounding that this is the original piece from this DBTC as I bought all of her rockwork when she broke down. It'll be awhile before I can make frags from this but can continue this chain once I can. Here's a better angle to match...

    *DROP ALERT* SPS PRE drop Sneak Peek finally "DROPPED!!!"

    The frags will be for sale once they've healed and we've determined they are ready as stated in the first post. We don't promote click bait. We take a lot of pride in the care and health of our coral. You can ask plenty of people here that have purchased from us. This is simply a preview post...

    *DROP ALERT* SPS PRE drop Sneak Peek finally "DROPPED!!!"

    Alright guys! Here's what ya'll have been waiting for! Did some SPS fragging as some of my mother colonies finally reached the color I was aiming for with them and it's been long enough that I have confidently beaten out AEFW which came in on some of these colonies as I rescued them from a...

    Alk consumption gradually decreasing ..

    Ca and Mag are fine there as long as you aren't dosing anymore. I run my Mag regularly around 1500. Ca around 450 but 500 isn't danger zone imo. Definitely don't do changes before you leave. Let it cruise.

    Equipment questions.

    I'll take the reef keeper. It's an old school aquarium controller. Can set on/off schedule and also program outlets to be on/off depending on input.

    MY IM 170EXT

    I've been interested in the Dalua and vegemite bars for awhile. I may have to arrange a visit to you one time to check em out in person if you'll have me.

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    No idea as I haven't ran a canopy before. I have seen people cut squares in the end and mount computer fans on each side but you'd need to also figure out a power supply to run them. And I'm not sure how well they last in this application.

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    You'll most likely still need fans to keep air moving to avoid excess moisture. It will be a very humid enviornment without moving air due to the tank (obviously) and the heat from the lights (slightly less obvious).

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    For For the non working light, try it plugged into one of the other power supplies to rule out a bad power brick. The light itself is pretty well built. I dropped one of mine about 6ft onto a glass table and didn't miss a beat. Surprisingly the glass table didn't even get a scratch either. Get...

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    With a tank build this big, you would really have to pivot and change and/or add a lot of equipment if going to SPS dominant in the future from a mixed reef setup. TBH setting up for a mixed reef is much harder in terms of getting the right amount of flow in all the different places you want...

    Looking for thoughts on substrate/ canopies

    Spot light reference is due to the small size of the LED cluster (which is why I refer to them as single point lights sources) this is what gives them the Kessil "shimmer" so the lights start at a small point at the puck and then angle out from there. This can cause a lot of shadowing depending...
