Wonderful pictures!

Thanks!

LOL I need to get my tank to AA (Alkalinity Anonymous) as yesterday I checked my alk and it was a little high around 11dkh so I was going to just adjust the reactor the next day but I ran out of C02 so not even 10 hours had passed between testing and putting the new co2 tank back on, and my tank had pulled the alk down to 4.8DKH

LOL it would be a nightmare to keep up with the current demand of the tank without this reactor

double post

First the obligatory "I think your tank is awesome."

that's an amazing amount of alkalinity take up... thirst corals! Seems like that Deltec Reactor is doing you well. I'm sure you've answered this before but what media do you use? Deltec fluidized media or a alternative? Thanks

 

[makoJ]

Thanks Thirschmann, I'm using the Deltec fluidized media

haven't updated the thread in a while been super busy but here is an updated FTS. I re-did the bulbs I'm now running: Radium, 10k, 10k, Radium.

I also raised my lights up to slow the growth down a bit but it hasn't seemed to stop it lol

:lol: I have already started moving out my zoas. I still have my chalices and a couple favias, but that is about it for lps these days. I am just waiting for some red sea cities to get cleared.

Here are some shots I took of Brian's Tank a couple weeks ago at our club meeting:

The only photoshoping I did was to set the white balance at 15,000k and exposure. No saturation or color changing.

More can be seen HERE.

Looks like some mandatory fragging is in order to prevent your colonies from overcrowding or killing one another. I'll be there in 10 minutes.
