[DFason]

Thanks Felix. The fiji is the best bulb to make the corals just POP. You wont be disappointed.

jer - its up to you. You will need to seed your tank with bacteria for a few weeks. Then start to dose the vodka. Sunny in the SPS forum has a HUGE thread about this.

[jerl77]

do i start slow or just add the .5ml after seeding the tank?
read sunnyx stuff great stuff but i dont want to add every day 1 time a week is good for me?

 

[DFason]

You can try like I did. .5-1 mL on a certain day. I just rasied mine to 1.2.

very nice tank! I really like the rockscape.

 

[DFason]

Hope everyone had a good Turkey day. Well my girlfriends brother has a older Digital Rebel that he is letting me use for a bit. It has a nice macro Sigma lens too. So before even cleaning the tank I had to snap some pictures... So out of 100 I took only a few turned out ok

This is my first time using a DSLR and on top of that this crazy lens that I am having to learn but trial and error! So please dont laugh! I think a few turned out well, I am going to do a water change and clean the tank tomorrow and I'll snap a TON and post them too.

The tank has been on auto drive, just dosing stuff and letting it go. The Superman, WM and Setosa have been roiding up and growing FAST!

Enjoy!
