super clean build so far, looking forward to seeing where you take it from here

We are now at a 3 month mark, colours are starting to improve and I am getting some crazy polyp extension. See for yourself:

As for the settings for MP40, I was running them at 30% first, but then had to dial one down to about 10% because my anemone was not happy.

I love that milli and the polyp extension you're getting on it.

What salt are you using? Are you dosing any additives?

Thanks, this is one of my favourite pieces. I'm just dosing some potassium nitrate to get my nitrates to detectible levels.

Wow! Your tank looks amazing! Love all the colors, and this is inspiring my next tank build.

Can't wait to see the next video update!

I like it a lot. Great size and pulls well. I can't say it is quiet though, but it ok for being in my home office.

Looks so full already! Nice Pink cadi

 

[reefmutt]

Wow. Looking so good.
Very nice!
The growth really is amazing.

That's a bummer. People reporting that it's quiet is the reason I was going to buy one for my future reefer.

The tank is at a six month mark!

Looking awesome! Do you spot feed your LPS?

 

[DiscusHeckel]

Subscribed. Very impressive start.

Would love some details on your light schedule!

As for the light schedule - I'm still tweaking mine. But basically trying to hit 220 PAR in the middle of the tank, 8-9 hours of predominantly blue light.

And I'm not spot feeding my corals, but have been adding some PolypLab products.

What par meter are you using?
