Slave sps tank

I think I'm blind Slave -- Did you post what your DIY trace kit is? Like the recipe and all that? 'cause I'm not finding it.

No I have not release the recipe at all.
It is formulated for maximizing growth and colouration.
Reefers that have tried it says they can see growth daily, corals that was stubborn slow growing have started to take off.
For people that can't keep gonipora type LPS.
That is why I have 2 version - normal run of the mill and professional version emphasis on health and colours to the maximum potential.
It should be a hit with alot Aussies's tank. :thumbsup:
Secret men's business. :lol2:

Well this is kind of an underground thing, so a lot of people don't know California has a large amount of Voodoo practitioners.. You have been warned :lol:

Currently I have no intention to reach your USA shores yet.
Baby steps my friend, one reef tank at a time. :fun2:

I don't blame you -- It'll take 80 years for global warming to start the "Great California Reef" at this point. Damn low emission cars...

Not alot is happening.
It is continue to grow and stay colourful.
My alk and cal usage are now 260ml without adding any new corals.
Before 200ml and after 260ml in about 1 month.

Parameters: the stuff I can test I will post them up. The unknown parameters is off the chart. NOT NSW level.

Everything peachy. :reading:
I will update some photos soon. :beer:
 
Nice! Love the top downs.
Crazy how far some of those frags have encrusted.
Everything is looking super healthy in there.
 
Whoa !! Nice !! Your dosing are pleasing to the eye.

Thanks - the tank has been on cruise control for about 8 months now.
First water change in 5 months last week.

Finally got rid of the bryopsis in my tank. The treatment stuffed a few corals, but they all bounced back with a vengeance. :bounce2:

It is base on the Balling Light formula but with a few extra things added of my own tweak

Bottle 1 - Reef Halogen - Bromide, Iodine, Fluorine
Bottle 2 - Reef Booster - Strontium, Barium
Bottle 3 - Reef Metals - Copper, Cobalt, Manganese, Iron, Zinc, Nickle, Chromium, Molybdenum, Selenium, vanadium.
Bottle 4 - Boron
Bottle 5 - Potassium
Bottle 6 - Amino acids, vitamins and electrolyte

What is still in a trial testing phase is selenium and vanadium as I am still not sure if I will incorporate it into my final formula.
Going to keep in trial till I am happy it is beneficial or a waste of money. :debi:

First 3 bottles 1, 2, 3 goes into the Alk and Cal (randy recipe 1)
Bottle 4 and 5 - into their own as it can be combined. Just need to work out how much potassium your own system use as it vary with different system.
Bottle 6 - That is on its own dosing line.

So basically you can use a 4 channel dosing pump and you are good to go.
Keeping sps corals growing and colourful. :strooper:

Ideally it doesn't make sense to DIY as it cost is alot more than what you would pay individual commercially available product - like the Aqua forest, RedSea, Fauna Marin, Tropic Marin. But over the long term say after 2 years.
The cost would break even and it is pretty much free.
This is base on a 400 L tank - which is common - The economical scale is even better as your tank goes up in size.
If it works very well, you can even sell some to your local reefer friends. :thumbsup:

Is this still your dosing regimen?
 
Hi Matt,
It's evolved a bit to what it is now.
Bottle 1 - Reef Halogen - with Alkalinity
Bottle 2 - Reef Booster - On its own
Bottle 3 - Reef Metals pro and Reef Growth with Calcium
Bottle 4 - Multi Vitamins
Bottle 5 - Potassium
Bottle 6 - Amino acids, vitamins and electrolyte

I have to add phosphate dropper and another amino concentrate dropper into my tank to keep things growing.

N is around 0.5 to 2ppm
P is around 0.03ppm quite stable
 
Oh. Ok, so you are now using that line of products that your 'friends ' tank looks so good using. ;)
Is it your line of products, or did you switch?
Or is this Sustainable Reef's line? I'm confused..
Regardless, the corals speak for themselves in terms of health..
 
very very nice. when i look at everyones videos it makes me feel like i have way too much flow in my tank. looks like barely any flow is hitting the coral
