Reef89’s Over exaggerated fusion 20

I installed my apex and added new additions to the tank. @ashburn2k have been helping me a lot and hooking me up and all the other members who have been giving me tips on this thread. This nano is really coming together and I am extremely happy where it’s heading.

So after a long battle to keep my tank cool with the last heat wave, I decided to go ahead and get the chillsolutions chiller. It took forever for them to restock on these but let me tell you this chiller is so small and it works. Finally I got my temperature stabled.

My set up for now I know it looks crazy, just waiting on my costume stand to be finished and everything will look nice and neat. Also added and mp10 for my flow thank you @Jonathan Chia who’d knew it was hard to set up . After playing around with the settings, and a bunch of moving sand I think I got it down. Any recommendations on how high I should have it, right now I have running at 20% percent. Big shout out to @ashburn2k For hooking me up and answering my 21 questions.

Hi guys so I just upgrade my tank to a 20 gallon im tank. I am extremely happy with it even tho it was a pain to switch everything over. I was able to do some cable management, it started looking like a bunch of spaghetti. Don’t worry my corals are okay they are being held @ashburn2k frag tank, while waiting for tank to stabilize and hopefully don’t end up having a mini cycle.

I see youve got the dos/ddr setup. How much 2 part were you dosing? My 25 g is getting just 7mL esv bionic of each part a day so I’m curious how low it was on the 10
 
Tank update:
My 20 gallon tank is doing great, much better with a bigger tank. Looking to upgrade to Upgrade to an even bigger one soon. My tank managed to survive this heatwave in the garage thanks to the thermoelectric chiller and fan. I am happy where I am at with my tank. Just added a trident to the mix and I must say I’m living the dream. I am getting to experience all these equipments I thought I’d never get to own. I have everything I need to upgrade to a bigger tank without really breaking the bank anymore besides getting few things Ofcourse. I am slowly adding my corals back. Shout out to @ashburn2k for holding them for me while my new tank did a mini cycle. My tank parameters are looking really promising. I just turned on my trident controlled dosing on my cal, alk and mag and all three are doing really great. Just a little longer and hopefully I can really dip my feet on some harder coral and get a chance to get some dbtc. Again @ashburn2k has been pointing me to the right direction. My friend was supposed to build me a nice custom stand but he ended getting fully booked and doesn’t really have any down time anymore since he is contractor, So I am now looking for stand for my tank, not really happy with how its set up in my garage and want to hide all the cords, my ocd is starting to kick in. Lol so anybody who is good with carpentry let me know. I have a project for you.

I also added some nice acros. Orange passion, pink Cadillac, purple rain, Ora frog skin. Vivid rainbow. I will let the vivid rainbow grow just a little longer and will start a dbtc with that. Also will add some of these high end pieces to the dbtc.

Quick tank update and quick little fun video i made. Added quite a few more frags hehe

Most of my acros and millis are super happy on the sand bed. I am running an ap9x where middle of the tank i am at 300-350 par and on above the rocks i am 350-450 par. Sand bed is 250-275 par. i think maybe the rocks are a little to high, Where they could be getting blasted direct flow. I am running an mp10 reef crest at 40% and all the acros and millis have great polyp extension, but at night when lights are all off or low moonlight the polyps are super extended. I currently do redsea AB+everyday, ill do reefs roids one or twice a week and also dose some fuel for reef twice a week. phosphate are .01ppm but i think its because i added a protein skimmer. It is a k1 icecap nano skimmer which is producing great dark skinmate, wondering if i should feed more to raise phosphates a little bit, but if my corals are happy i should just let it be.
