Lacy's Coral Contest Update #1
- Thread starter Lacy
- Start date
180 glass aquarium.
Custom made acrylic sump is 48" x 15" x 16". I keep the water level at 8" which is 41 gallons.
Sump light is an AI Nano Sol LED with controller.
Skimmer is an AquaC EV240 with waste collector and mag drive 14 or16?
Little Giant pump 1100 gph at a 5' head
3 Radion Pros Gen 2
2 x Tunze 6100.10
2 x Hydor Koralia (6?)
Automatic top off with ro/di.
I don't have a set schedule for anything. I do water changes of about 50 gallons when I get around to it which could be every 2 - 4 months.
I rarely test the water or dose.
I make my own water with Instant Ocean.
I make my own fish food and have been feeding only with this.
The 2 spots are glue that I covered up a vermetid snail.
The coral is on a small frag rack to the left and a little more than half way up. It is on the magnet cleaner.

Not really. I started dosing a couple of weeks when the chalice grow out started. I unfortunately quit after that. I will start testing and dosing probably next week. I did get some ME products and new test kits. I know they would grow a lot better if I did more with the tank. The 2 containers (pump jugs) under the aquarium are probably at least 5 years old. :hammer: Looking forward to dumping that and using ME products. Surprisingly it's still good since I used this to dose with during the chalice competition. :eek1:
I will probably change up my sump by the end of the month. I will be changing out skimmers and be putting the calcium reactor back on. Not sure yet if I will be adding kalk to the top off.
Let the games begin. :beer:
