Some Pics of my Dendro and Tubestrea

Everything has been doing real good, and My Dendro is being very confident and cocky lately so I thought I'd share

Excellent Photos and very healthy looking animals.

Can you tell us something about your setup and feeding?


Thanks

Water Parameters:

Sal: 1.025
Calc: 460
Alk: 9.2 dkh (working to increase to 12)
Mag: 1320
Potassium: 400 ppm
Iodine: .06 ppm
Iron:.15 ppm
Nitrates: <.25ppm
Phosphates: < .02 ppm

I use a calcium reactor for calcium and mag, and dose for alk, and a gfo reactor for phosphates.

As for my Set up and feeding:

I curently have a 75 gallon SPS glass bottom tank with a 40 gallon breeder sump. Into that system I have plumbed a 55 gallon tank with a 4 inch sand bed above a 1.5 inch plenum. The water to this system circulates very slowly, probably about 5-10 gallons an hour, but provides excellent nitrate reduction to handle the heavy feeding load required by my NPS, so my sps can benefit from the extra food, but not suffer from messed up parameters.

I target feed twice daily a mix of RN Roti Feast, BW Zooplanktos-S, ESV Spray Dried Plankton, Copepods, Coral Amino and Phytoplan. during the day I have a constant slow drip of RN Phyto Feast diluted in saltwater.

Lately I have been target feeding the Sun Corals some california blackworms as well, and they are just loving it.

I think in the future, I may get a smaller tank for the NPS corals to improve the efficiency of feeding as cost of the foods is a definite factor. Later on in life when Im rich I can get fancier. Right now, I just wanna see if i can elicit growth past the 6 months period and on
