Updates

Updates

My Giants are still in 1st place :beer:

My Niners lost a tough one tonight

Tank updates:

Flow: Previously, had (2) 6201, (2) 6101, 6025, and 6045. Now running (3) 6205, (1) 6201 (with a 6205 on the way to replace it), 6025, and 6045.

Pests: I'm pretty much done stocking my tank with frags. VERY HAPPY I escaped that whole RB, AEFW, Monti-eating nudi episode this time around, so I can just sit back, enjoy, and watch my tank grow in this time around :beer:

Sand: After 3 years, I finally replaced the sandbed :inlove:

I went from this crap sand:

To this:

I think I will be replacing the sandbed much more frequently now. Makes it feel like a new tank again.

A few more amateur shots of the tank:

And a skimmer update:

Still going strong :beer: This is a week's worth of dry skim

Looking really nice Terry, The corals are really growing and I love the new sand bed. Your tank looks great now, it a few months it will look amazing :thumbsup:

 

[mpoletti]

Good stuff Terry. I'm glad your tank is doing well :thumbsup:

 

[dave.m]

Probably a dumb question, but when you replace the sand, how do you recoup all the detrivores? Are you sifting the old sand to find them, or do you just go out and buy all new sand cleaner crews?

Thx,

Dave.M

Thanks guys. My frags are slow growing. I'm wondering if it's because I keep my alk lower at 8?

My only CUC consisted of 3 sandsifting stars, so they were easy to find. Also, I didn't remove the entire sandbed all at once. Over the course of many months, I had been removing a little sand with each water change.

Very nice Terry!

Eh, it's a good start.
