Daniel's RSM 250 SPS tank

Wow wow wow buddy! SPS look sooo nice :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Love the colours you are pulling on those acros.

Do you feed the corals anything or give them additives?

Today i did my first WC with AF Probiotic Reef Salt (20 G). It started, let see if I see something different. I will NOT go for the full product line. No time to keep all those dosing.

My Alk was today, at 10 AM (normally I measure it at ~ 9 PM) 7 dkh. The AF salt quality certificate stated that at 1023 the alk has to be 7.7 dkh for that lot. I measured it twice (Salifert Kit) and at 1026 it was 8.4 and 8.3 dkh.

Could that difference in salinity have an effect on the Salt Alk (increased). Nevertheless I did the WC. All looks OK.............now PICTURES

You got it - higher SG will increase the amount of everything in the water. Your calcium and Magnesium would be higher than the test spec as well.

Thank you Matt.... The phone is very good, the user is "so so". Not all are in focus. Next time I will use a hat to avoid reflection in my eyes of the T5s.

Keep your finger crossed for the SSC !!!

Thank you Sahin !!.. NO, I do not feed the corals.

I only add 10 ml of the "A" and 10 ml of the "B" Red Sea amino acids once or twice per month. Just because I have it in the refrigerator. The bottles will expire in 2 months and I think I will buy the Salifert aa.

But I will continue as I am doing now. 1 or 2 times per month. That's all.

I am not sure if that can be really consider as a "Yes, I am adding additives".

Looking killer man!!! Hope you had a great holiday season, your tank looks as though it did :) Love how full your tank is, not trying to give you any ideas or anything, but that growth may warrant a new tank in your future, lol...

Thank you Perry !!!

I already went from the 13 G to this 65 G tank. I would love to go to a bigger one, but all is more work. I am not sure I will have the time to take care of it with all my weekly traveling.

Let see how this one evolve. It is my first experience. If the tank achieve a point that all will explode I will think about it.

In the meantime I will enjoy and suffer (LOL) what I have and ...........time will decide.

Cheers to all
Daniel
 
My black percula clown decided to use the cave and this morning I got this coral upside down. Turned it and when I was waching the tank the guy pushed it again. I hope he stop playing with it.......Grrrrrrr. LOL

 
I found some buble algae on this rock with Palies. I cleaned it all with the dentist tool. I took the idea from a post on Matt's thread. Now one burst.



The rock was in the fuge.
 
2nd water change with AF probiotic marine salt. ~ 25 G .

Pictures of the fuge during the water change.

You see 2 clear tubes. One pumps water out, the other IN. The picture shows the water entering in the fuge.



Water is pumping from the Brute to the Fuge. I do not move buckets .......HURRAY !!!




More to come......wife calling for dinner.

That's right, work smarter, not harder!:thumbsup:
 
And now something about Acros......

The Aussie SSC that had 2 episodes of STN is recovering after my last treatment.



Look the base where you can see the tissue starting to grow over the superglue.




This has higher magnification. Difficult to keep the focus but you can see better the growing I was referring over the superglue.

3 HURRAYS... !!!!!:bounce1:




BTW: Today's Alk of the AF water was 9.3 . Measured twice. Last time was 8+ . Both at salinity 1026 .

The Clown continue moving the coral upside down. I can't shoot the clown (he wins) so I will see if I can rearrange the corals over the sand in that section. GRRRRRR !!!


Cheers
Daniel

I almost forgot about this last picture
