Don's 55g-is growing 10 gallons

You did a really good job. That light fits perfect.

 

Thanks Corailline,and the answer to both questions is no ;D.

I'm still keeping it simple and coral pro has been keeping params in check (although my alk has been a little low,but coralline is exploding,so must be comsumption I assume,reg wc's seems to help keep it all good 8)).

And no red monti (I wish,lol),thats just a red mushroom that I have no idea how it got up there.

Thanks Jerry,13 watt finnex from brs,got a couple spare bulbs too.Looks good on it and is impressively bright.

 

Cool Grinder!!Looking good!!!8)

 

Thanks dude! Imma big dog now!

 

LOL What kind of return pump did you decide on?

 

Hydrofarm Active Aqua pond/saltwater safe pump,550 gph.

The tetra 550 that came with the sump leaked voltage (found out the hard way,thankfully in a bucket and not the tank).

And the old hydor pump I just got it started with,I had.I'm just not sure of the gph. The tag is worn,but it's much lower than 550,plus it runs warm (worn out),so only a temporary pump 8).

 

Congrats on the new sump, looks great

 

Thanks John!

Fuge is now loaded with macros,mangroves and pods.I've removed/chiseled all kenya tree,anthelia,and xenia along with rescaping and adding 15 lbs of dry rock.No more weeds! However,I did keep most shrooms and my gsp,but do have my leathers on craigs.New skimmer is working great,i'm not used to a tank without microbubbles and dark skimmate!

But as you may be able to tell,and I swore i'd never say this,the sps bug has bitten me and I am prepping the tank now for the very near future.

Dual reactors,ato and LEDs are next.

The beginning of a new direction for me-

 

Wow Don, you have been busy! congrats on the upgrades. Tank is looking great and that sump/fuge is a beast. Congrats. That purple shroom is HUGE.

What leathers are on sale?

 

Looking good Don, Glad to hear your finally heading to get some SPS
