Atomic081's 225 Gallon Reef w/ Basement Fish Room

[Atomic081]

I snapped a few pictures while in the basement this afternoon.

Frag tank is pretty empty.


Anemone frag tank is looking good so far.


ATS is working well at the 2 week mark. I downsized the screen a little also.

Updates!!!!

The ATS is working great, ill post a picture next sunday of how much im taking off. My frag tank had some algae buildup but is almost completely gone now. My cheato algae has tripled in size the last few weeks.

I think i have Flatworms. Im mixing 50 gal for a water change now. Flatworm exit one day this week.


I mounted most of my frags and I took a few pictures.

What did you measure the PAR with?

How is the ambiant light from that window affecting any algae growth in the tank?

Ever think of putting some UV blocking window tint on it?

I got a Par meter from my local club.

Ive never had any issues with light from the window. There is a huge pine tree out my window that blocks all the sun.

Looking purdy. Growth progression shots are the best. Best way to see how your tank is maturing.

I cleaned up my basement/fish room so i thought i would post some pictures.

The 100g sump, Refugium (cheato is dying), Algae turf Scrubber, and Skimmer Tub.


Empty QT tank. Gotta change that soon.


Mixing station, sink and new work area over one of the sinks.


Frag tank


New Fragging tools!!!!

 

[Atomic081]

I made a run to a few local frag tanks one night this week.
I picked up a bunch of new Zoos


I also Fragged the hollywood stunner that I had and all the purple and green cap. The INDMAS frag swap is in march and im getting everything ready for it. Ill have a table this year.


I Cut up my Anemones for the first time last night. 12 hours later and we went from 2 big anemones to 5 smaller ones. Im still gonna cut the biggest one in half next week.

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

I thought you could only cut them like fragging a mushroo?m

Some types of anemone will start to split into two or three just by incisions in the pedal/foot.
