Show off your T5 run (non Zeovit + similar) SPS tank please

Here is a pic of my 90 gallon just running T5s and no Zeo.

Gorgeous tanks. Great job, I love this tank!. That green cap is incredible! What camera did you use to shoot the FTS?

Bump for NO-zeo, vodka, vinegar, sugar, and other carbon/bacteria-dosing T5 SPS tanks!

My old 90 from a few years back. No sump, no reactors - only a simple HOB skimmer. I think I was doing a 2 part during this time:

Following along. Got some real nice tanks... I had some recent issues with bio-pellets myself and would like to see what others are doing... I just switched to an ATS. I'll post some pics of my 240g soon. I've been running it for about 3 weeks...

My 180 with T5 and Kalk drip.

Simply amazing tank! Did you ever have trouble keeping up with calc/alk with just the kalk drip?

I learned awhile ago to stop chasing numbers. I basically check the tank, if things are growing and look happy, I'm happy.

But I decided to test after I read your question, just to see where I stand. I haven't tested in probably 4 months for either Alk or Ca.

Alk: 7

Ca: 440

So I'm a bit out of balance. Thanks for making me test, now I'll probably go chase numbers and get them back to where they should be! :lol:

Haha! No problem I guess. Doesn't seem like your that far out of whack. I was just curious because I did kalk for about a year up until recently when it was getting harder and harder to keep up. Switched to a Ca reactor and seems to be a little more steady. Just my experience though.
