How frequent are your water changes? Do you just use RO/DI?

 

[ReefCheeks]

1 gallon water change once per week, i top off with regular tap water. i use nutri-seawater for my water changes. thats the natural filtered seawater you can by in 2.2 or 4.4 gallon jugs, nice and simple, no salt mixing, and it already has trace minerals in it. yes i said i top off with regular tap water.....

BTW me and groyurown share the tank, in case youre confused as to why i answered your question!

static what is a MSPS?

 

[ReefCheeks]

MGSP*

 

[ReefCheeks]

also we feed dt's and oyster eggs twice per week. dt's mainly for the clam, and the feather duster, started feeding oyster eggs a couple weeks ago, dont know if i see a difference yet

 

[ReefCheeks]

are the pics on your site current?

 

[staticxtreme]

No, the pics are a little old, I just took some recent pics however just havn't posted them yet. The MGSP as told to me by the LFS, are Metallic Green Star Polyps, they don't carry the heavy green of the GSP's it's more of a lighter green. I dunno, I should post pics and get the low down, maybe I'll do that later, possibly this weekend. For a fuge I modified a Hangon Filiter I picked up @ a lfs for 10 bucks, and use a 15gal rubbermaid for a sump, filled it up with LR and threw a blue filter pad in there along with the skimmer. SEems to be working out really well now. I also supplement Oceans Blend from Premium Aquatics and noticed a dramatic difference soon after with coraline growth, and more color and expansion of my corals.

 

[ReefCheeks]

whats the filter pad for?

 

[staticxtreme]

Just to catch anything that shouldn't be in the water.

 

[ReefCheeks]

you put a lot of thought and planning into those avatars!

Yeah I love my avatars.....anyway, I just updated my website so you can see what I have going on, it's not as impressive as yours by far but I have been on a minimal budget. But check it out....I've been looking at a lot of the smaller tank set-ups and thinking about starting my own, I just saw a 15 gallon acryillic Dwarf SeaHorse set-up I was blown away by so who knows.

 

[ReefCheeks]

looks a lot better! i think that the camera probably doesnt do the tank justice! if you painted your back wall black it would bring the colors in your corals out a lot! those red skirt zoos you have are amazing.
