Thanks! I have been at it for a long time and still learning. I have a 90g Frag table loaded with frags. From cheap and common to not so cheap and uncommon. Just let me know when you want to drop by

hey Dwayne do you have any experience with reef-roids, oyster feast or anything of that nature?

I have tried just about everything out there and in my humble opinion, other than stimulating the economy by adding your cash to the retail sales numbers - you just dont need to feed the corals.

As noted above I feed very heavy. To the point of some experienced reefers looking at me like I have two heads. I feed New Life pellets and PE Mysis exclusively right now, not that I wouldnt try other foods but right now this is working.

In my frag table I ONLY use New life pellets as food. Kind of an experiment. No Carbon pellets, no dosing just a CA Reactor, infrequent WC, 4 huge fish and feed pellets by the handfull :)

Others are likely cringing right now !

Dwayne
 
wow, everything looks great. any chance you will ship out west to alberta?

Can ship anywhere in Canada, the problem is logistics. Like the Seinfeld episode where Newman and Kramer are trying to return recycled cans and bottles but it costs too much in fuel to get them to the depot :)

Im just a small time guy, I do have access to UPS daily pickups so thats not a problem. The problem is I dont have containers and heat packs and such to do a really nice job. For a 10 buck frag it will be 50 in shipping :(

Maybe I should leave it to the professionals

Come over one day and I can show you how to do it. It is quite easy once you get into a routine.

Thanks for the offer Vlad, I will take you up on it in the near future

Are you getting back into it frag wise or starting your big tank over?
 
sounds good dwayne, it almost feels like spring is here. supposed to be +17 tomorrow.
would like to see more of your frag operation also. is it tied into your display tank?

I restarted my tank on the fly.

Some corals managed to beat out all odds, so those corals are nice and big right now. Others I had to obtain from friends as frags. It took a while to steer this ship into the right direction, especially since I am trying to find out where my equilibrium points are with respect to nutrients vs alkalinity.

I am almost there as I can see the growth starting to pick up. Its so nice to see some light after a near 1.5 year battle with stuff.

I gotta build my QTs for fish and corals. Can't do this any other way. Dip. QT. Into the display.
 
Thanks for opening the door to another great system in Ontario, Darryl !

Man, what is it with names that begin with D in the Province of Ontario ?!?

Dave (250G), Darryl (dvanacker), and Dwayne (Flagswipe) you three guys grow/color SPS with the best of the best in our hobby, my respect goes out to you three gentleman.

You guys have inspired me to move North of the border, into Toronto, and officially change my name to Doug lol :D

My new upgrade will likely be built by Miracles or Dave's builder in Toronto so I could just pick it up myself ! Plus, Im a goalie (ice hockey, is there any other kind) ... So I got that going for me :p
 
Very impressive!!!!!

Congratulations Dwayne...

Dip Dip Dip. After finding adult and egg clusters on several pieces from many well known suppliers I have become obsessed about keeping AEFW out of my display


Beautiful corals! and stunning photography dvanacker!

Thanks jbanks, will keep trying to take my own pics as I cannot rely on others coming out to photograph my tank :)

Not sure about the "D" names just DUMB luck I guess. Thanks for the kind words
Good luck with your new build.

Thank to everyone for looking
