I've been saving up store credit for this guy since he came in a few weeks ago. Finally brought him home on Friday! There are almost 40 polyps of Lunar Eclipse palys on it!
My newest zoa colony... love

It's a 34g Solana, set up for 3? years, upgraded from a 24g nano cube.
I have 150w MH with Ushio 20K bulb (which is awful, I will never buy this brand again)
I don't test, I let my tank tell me when something is off, so who knows what my parameters are right now.
Nowhere near my first polyps, lol. I have mostly LPS, but really liked these guys, so they got brought home

You don't test? How do you maintain a reef aquarium?

Pretty simple. If something looks off I test, if everything looks good there isn't really a reason to test. I test everything maybe 5 times a year at most unless I'm having a problem. Works just fine for me and I've been doing it this way for years.

How can you see PO4, NO3, pH, dKH, SG, Ca, Mg, ect? :worried:

Again, if something is wrong, your tank will tell you. Maybe it's not how you would do things, but it's how I've been doing things for 9 years and I've never had a problem.

I'm new to reefing but kind of know what you're talking about. I have some macro's in my tank and they tell me when to change my carbon and GFO.
Anyways, I like the green and orange ones!

Good looking colony
+2 on learning how to "read" your tank. Been at it for close to 10 years and I also rarely test. If algae is growing on the glass a bit to fast or if colors in certain sps change, then I test. Otherwise I am wasting reagent. Definently would not suggest it to others, especially newer reefers, but if you know your system, then you know your system.

Agree. On my tank I test alk about once a week or two, and mag/calc every few months... maybe.
Again, an acquired skill and not something I would recommend to joe reefer, especially anyone new.
