GlennF's 1500 liter mixed reef tank
- Thread starter glennf
- Start date
I will do a summary
When things seems to be At the Peaks it usually means that it can only go downhill.
It would have at that density of corals and a consumption of 4,85dkh/day.
There was no more space for growth. Flow and light limitation was constantly lurking and it was very annoying to break of some branches everytime i clean the windows.
The new look is just to make sure i can delay the need for maintenance for a long time.
Now It's like getting some renewed energy/inspiration to see how the tank develop day by day.
Most large colony's are grown from frags placed in 2017.
Watch this movie from july 2017

If you study the pictures all the coral are growing into each other and building a reef. Just like in the natuur with nobody pruning.
This is rocksteady mass (liferock)
That's less work than constant pruning.
But once a year i reach the point i have to do a partial or total rescape. I hate that....
But on the other had it,'s also a good thing. I get the pleasure to see it all develop into a dense reef again.
The large solitairy colony i fixed the base to a rock with a solid amouth of reefcement.

After the total rescape i introduced a few new species in my EZ550reef.
A good friend took a reefing sabatical and donated all his corals. I promised him that i would take good care of them. if he re-enter the hobby he can pickup all his corals.
So you see not everyone leaf the hobby due too many failure. Some just want to take a break.

ThanksAll of you tanks are amazingly beautiful and healthy. What is the difference of ez550 with your main display tank? What negative do you see at poor man's reef, and you still keep your skimmer inside your other tanks?
The ez550reef works with 4 basic product
The reef1200 works with 5 basic product
The officetank (poor man's reef) has been running on Ez before, but now trailrunning on a new 2 channel dosing system
All my reefsystems are now running without protein skimmer.
The ez550reef since 17 oktober 2019
The reef1200 and angelreef since november 2019
The offfice tank since 2015.
All of them of course without regular waterchanges.

I am glad. I now hope after maybe 10 years you can persuade ,more reefers, to stop running skimmers. Before 10-15 years you know better than me, how controversial was not doing water changes, nowadays is something accepted if not adopted by a big percentage of reefers. Skimmers on the other hand , are still considered as the most important equipment of a reef tank, from the majority of reefers.i hope Reefers like you, can change that trend.
I know.. i was on the frontline of ommiting the regular WC. Many were very sceptical
