Oliver’s red sea reefer 425xl

[Oliver]

Hi guys I‘ve decided to finally start my tank journal after one year of being a member sorry lol , this tank is almost 1 year old mix reef .
I started my reef addiction with a 40 gallon tank which didn’t take me long to upgrade to the 425xl and the reason for the upgrade long story short we bough a yellow tang and we learned the hard way that our 40 gallon tank was to small for it so we decided to pull the trigger on the red sea 425xl ,anyway with help from lots of BAR members I have learned the most that I can from this difficult but beautiful hobby (I still don know much lol ) for my corals I’m currently dosing ESV alk ,calcium and magnesium , for water changes I started using reef crystal salt , currently im using red sea blue bucket , im also dosing reef energy AB every other day , I’m attaching some pictures of my red sea tank and my 40 gallon tank ( previous )so you guys can see them , thank you for reading my unplanned and informal journal.

tank: red sea reefer 425xl
lighting: kessil ap700
skimmer: octo elite 200 INT

Great looking tank! I’ve always wanted a Borbonius Anthias.

Quick update , I added a second ap700 to my system , I'm also adding some pictures of my euphylia and my OG bounce .

Great setup! How are the AP700? I tried them when they first came out and dont think they did too much for my SPS then, changed to T5 hybrid now.

Thank you , same here with SPS not much luck lol , but my euphylia , zoas , anemones and mushrooms love it , my tank right now is mostly LPS tho , I will add in the near future a pair of orphek led bar lights and hoping I can add a couple SPS .
