What setups are you guys running right now? Throw up some photos!

I thought it might be nice to get a discussion going about what everyone is running right now here in the bay area.

Im running a 120 gallon Crystal Dynamics tank with a ghost overflow. This tank has been through 2 giant crashes in the 6 years or so its been set up. Right now things are looking good.

I think a huge part of what was causing instability was starting with all dry rock. I think people are starting to realize that dry rock takes at least 18-24 months to really be able to support thriving SPS. I started with dry rock because its cheaper and is pest free but those things seem to find their way into our tanks regardless if not super strict with quarantine.

Wow, that is awesome. That thing is packed. Do you do water changes? How many gallons if you do?

Thanks. I used to do 5gal water change every 2-3 weeks. I'm on my 3rd month with no water change. I dose magnesium,trace elements weekly. I dose nitrates every 3-4 days.

Even without water changes you are finding that you still neee to dose nitrates? I am trying to figure out a natural way to bring my nitrates up. I've stopped skimming and plan to spread water changes out further. So far no luck.

Thanks. I used to do 5gal water change every 2-3 weeks. I'm on my 3rd month with no water change. I dose magnesium,trace elements weekly. I dose nitrates every 3-4 days.
