progression videos of my tank

[Fish4life28]

I made these quick videos with a feature I found on my phone by an accident. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A9JJRtCjkMA. I got rid of a bunch of stuff since the first video then had a growth spurt https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1vmQw5mO5KE

Thought I would update with some tank shots. Left side center and right side. Selling my ricordia this weekend then I will be all sps aside from my massive frogspawn my clowns call home.

OK, you have my attention. I see some VERY highly coloured sticks. :beer:

1. Do you run an algae based refugium?
2. Run Phophate remover or carbon (GAC)?
3. Are you dosing just ESV B-Ionic or Ca and ALk?
4. Are you dosing any other additive or supplement?
5. What foods do you feed the fish? How many times daily?
6. Which brand of salt are you using and how much weekly wter change?
7. What is your T5 combo?
8. How old is te tank?

Many thanks. Would love to see more photos of your nicely coloured SPS corals. :thumbsup:

Just realised, I have looked st this tank before...you've made nice progress. Still answers to above would be useful.

 

[Fish4life28]

Thank you kindly sahin. As to the questions above.
1. No algea in the system. Just live rock in the sump.
2. Haven't ran phosphate remover or carbon in over 6 months.
3. I dose ESV calcium and alk around the clock. And dose kalkwasser all during lights off.
4. No other additives.
5. I feed flakes mostly. But offer pellets every few days and nori a few times a week. I feed flakes 2 times a day at least. Sometimes red sea aminos and carbohydrates.
6. Instant ocean reef crystals. Change 35 gallons every 2 months.
7. I run 4 blue plus bulbs, 1 coral light and a Fiji purple.
8. The tank is just over 2.5 years old.
I have a powder blue tang. Sailfin tang. Two clowns. A coral beauty angel. And a melanarus wrasse living together well.

You've got a very very nice tank there. Please post more photos and videos when you have time.

 

[Fish4life28]

Been a while and please excuse the mess of coraline on my glass. Just got married last weekend and let the tank go a bit.
Anyway, I rescaped and think I'm finally happy the way it is.......for now lol. There is definitely more room for corals to get mounted.

 

[Fish4life28]

Ugh, sideways pictures again

 

[sahin]

Sweet corals man. Your pulling some nice colours on those acros.

Thanks again Sahin. I'm hoping it really takes off soon. Have to go pick up some razor blades and give the glass a real good cleaning

 

[sahin]

Just noticed you have an angel...do it nip at the sps at all?

 

[Fish4life28]

Yeah she nips a little. Mostly at my pocillipora but I'm not a huge fan of it anyway. The wife makes me keep the coral lol. Here are some shots from today

 

[rt67ghy]

Coming on nicely. I like your scaping and the corals have very bright colours.

 

[sahin]

Looking great. Keep the photos coming. I really like the colours in your corals. Very nice. :beer:

 

[deeznutz1]

Looking good man, your setosa is huge! Bring me frags next time you're in town. I got a few things you might want

[Fish4life28]

OK here you go Sahin, these are still pics with my phone. And Dan, do you still have that kryptonite torch? I'd be glad to bring lots of goodies for a head or two of it.

 

[Fish4life28]

And again my super green beauty

 

[sahin]

Great colours in the SPS. :beer:

Is your fish list as mentioned in post no 5 or do you have more?

 

[sh8g8delik]

Im really loving your colors in the corals. Did you grow all of them out from frags? They're growing really fast if so! Keep up the great work!

 

[Fish4life28]

Yes sir all started as frags. I thought they were growing slow actually. Tank has been running just over 2 years and Sahin my only other fish is a copper band butterfly
