here is another pic, I moved some corals around and removed some.

Hey, beautiful reef.

Can ask what your alk/calcium demand is?

 

[ssbreef]

Well the corals in my display are not the only corals in my system. I have about that much more in my grow out tank. I donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t know what the demand is because I'm using a calcium reactor. I have it set to a steady stream pouring into my sump so it must be pretty high. I keep my CA at 420 and alkalinity at about 10DKH.

*** A+ ***

looks very nice!

Thats a lot better growth than I'd expect with 20k's... you must be doing a lot right Any draw backs to the ozone?

 

[ssbreef]

Yeah I seem to be getting GREAT growth with my 20k's contrary to what everybody says. No drawbacks with the ozone just GREAT results! Crystal clear water!!

Nice!

I think a lot has to do with the fact that your using the radiums. For a 20k they have the highest par rating and if you are running them on an HQI mag ballast they dont look like other 20k they look more like 14k's. I also loved my radiums but at $89 that was alot for just one bulb and I had two of them. But a nice growth shots and awsome tank.

Looks GREAT! Why upgrade?

Seems like nobody's happy with their 90 gallon but me... Everyone I know that put in a 90 gallon talks about an upgrade right away.

Assuming you've got your mind set on the upgrade - just take everything you have and throw it in the new tank the exact way it is now. Use the extra space for a larger open sandbed and more swimming/coral growing room!

 

[ssbreef]

Thank you all for your kind words and thumbs pointing upward..

Jamesurq, that is exactly what I want to do. I want the extra space for clams and some softies on the sand bed, I also want the tank to look a little less cramped.

and another update

I got a new Idol Tank

Great looking tank! Nice job.

Now that my 90 is setup sometimes I wish I had a 110 (1/2' more of depth).

I got a new Idol Tank

Not exactly idol material yet but I like to think it will be some day.

 

[fishypets]

Very nice...I was getting a little scared in the first couple of pics with the hair alge. How did you get rid of it? Tell me more about this ozone you are dosing with. I currently run a uv steralizer once a month. Does this work better?

 

[ssbreef]

fishypets: The tank is only about 10 months old, so the hair algae you saw was in the first 3 months of the tank being up, which is a very normal process (cycle) to go through when first putting up a tank. I did nothing to get rid of it other than skimming and letting the cycle do its job. As for the ozone, there isnââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t a single piece of equipment I have bought that I have been happier with. Results are immediate! The very next day I saw the difference in water quality.

 

[Confooseld]

Your maroon clown changed a lot also! Any trouble with it "rearranging" your frags?

How does yours not? BS!:mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
Every new coral is a 2 day battle to keep it in the spot I want.
