Where's Kara in those photos?

 

[thrlride]

LOL, I had to duct tape her to the dining room table to keep her out of the shots.

Poor thing suffered some hair loss where the tape was.

man, i'll have to get you help and input when i set up my next tank. looks awesome man! makes me want a tank!

 

[Mike.B]

Hey howcome your using the tunze streams instead of the nice small vortechs?

 

[thrlride]

The vortechs weren't mine. I was simply testing them for someone else while we built his tank.

I was testing them for a review here:

I never finished the review though as one of my goals was to do a side by side test with the tunze 6100.

Pimp that...

Are those the new candycanes in the photo with the birdsnest and nana? Everything still looks great!

Have you had any problems with corals growing too closely to eachother?

 

[rdmpe]

The tank is looking great!!!

 

[rdmpe]

Do you dose calcium and bicarb just with the CR? Do you also use kalk or two part? I'm doing DIY two part right now, thinking of getting a dosing pump for it because I hate how the PH jumps when I dose once a day and I don't want to have to dose twice a day!

 

[thrlride]

Yes, that is the new candycane to the right of those corals. They are coming along though I did lose one head. Who would have thought an acropora formosa would take out an LPS.

 

[thrlride]

The calcium reactor takes care of the bulk of the calcium needs but I do have a kalk reactor hooked up to the topoff pump.

If my numbers get out of whack I will use the homemade calcium, alk and magnesium.

That's strange, considering how resilient they are.

But, no worries, they are very fast growers in most cases Mine always seemed to get knocked over when I was gone, so the tissue on the sandbed would recede, but regenrate fully in a very short amount of time.

 

[thrlride]

That's what I'm hoping happens here. They are too nice to fade away!

 

[MacnReef]

Any updates? How about a full tank shot?

[Rijinals]

Well done on the pics squire, very sharp!

 

[MacnReef]

Not to get off topic but why do you keep using the term "squire"?
