Michael's 300 In Vegas

I saw this vidoe the other night actually. I specifically asked him because of tank size. The ones on the video were much smaller. Than 210 or 300 gallon. The video gives a good idea but not a precise one of what I could expect with 360 kessils on a 210gallon tank.

I noticed @JVU had like 6-8 of these on his 200 assuming he has the same lights?

Hence why I was asking him what par numbers he was seeing with his kessils.

Not high enough is my guess, which is why I'm adding more, and to get more spread

Yes I have 8 of the A360X lights on my tank, which is a 160g display. I’m happy with them.
 
Glued down a bunch of frags. A lot of cool chalices, favias, a few acans, some leptos and a few others.

Also, after a few weeks, a lot of manual removal, a half a dozen urchins, a couple hundred snails, a sea hair which I haven't seen since I put it in, the hair algae problem is mostly gone.

I've been dumping lanthanum chloride in the skimmer to keep my phosphates in check. And I turned one down earlier, but I kind if like the idea of automating the phosphate testing with the Neptune trident and LaCl dosing to mitigate the huge amounts of food I like dumping in the tank. I am already dosing vodka and have one more dosing head free. Either acropower or LaCl will be that one.

Any thoughts on the vodka dosing so far? I keep going back and forth on this - have a big jug of vodka hooked up to a doser in fact but don’t really use it. What are you targeting for nitrates?

I like the vodka dosing. The theory makes a lot of sense to me, and having it on the dosing pump makes it easy. I shoot for between 10 and 90 on nitrates. Wide range, just trying to keep it close like how phosphates I am ok with .1-.5.

Thank you, I was hesitent to get them due to cost of the fish, but they were healthy and at the store for long enough, and it was around my birthday, so I decided to get them and I am super happy I did. 3 of the 4 made it and are swimming around. I see a little ich on one or two of them, but I have a cleaner wrasse in the tank, and I am feeding them 6+ times a day of mixed diet, so I am hoping I can get them to pull through.

Love those bar gobies
Do keep us up to date on the tilefish, they’re it good at aquarium life in my experience

I've been feeding the heck out of my tank (6-8x a day of frozen, flake, and pellet at different times) since I got them to try to fatten them up and many them happy. So far so good, they are showing a strong feeding response to everything I put in the tank now.

May you have success and be able to love them for a very long time!
