I "rebuilt" my first tank and had a dramatic increase in growth. Here's what I did-

1) Changed to LumenBright refelctors
2) Added a calcium reactor
3) Took out the softies
4) Not sure about this but believe it was a smaller factor - moved the tank to the basement (more constant temp, cooler in the summer)
5) reduced fish load
6) Upgraded my skimmer
7) Went bare bottom

wow just amazing thank you for posting that..how long did it take for it to get that big.

 

[ridetheducati]

All started from frags. 2.5 to 3 years. I normally gut the system and start over every 3-4 years.

I appreciate the comments. If you saw my system you would say "is that all, where is all the equipment". I keep it very simple and keep my hands dry. A lot of people like to tinker and constantly change thinks. Stability is the key.

Currently in the middle of some modifications.
