    Hey Everyone,

    Updated pictures of the 90 Gallons reef with new SPS. This was an experiment to try and keep acropora under T5 lighting (6 x 54W). They seem to be doing really well with good color and great polyp extension. The Montipora are growing awfully fast as well.

    Ditto! I love the layout. Great leather coral too. Do you have a calcium reactor? What is your routine with calcium?

    My calcium right now is hovering around 400. I do not have a calcium reactor. For years I have been doing it the old fashion way and dilute Kalkwasser into the topoff water. I add the water to the tank as needed due to evaporation. I have been considering a Calcium reactor but I am hesitant to try something different since things have been doing so well. Still no Protein Skimmer either. Coming up on 18 months with 5 fish. Water Parameters and corals are doing great, knock on wood.

    Thats beautiful. And no skimmer. The way your tank looks and the way things are going I wouldn't change either. It is working for you!

    Great looking tank, everything looks healthy. No skimmmer huh? Interesting?
