Redfishsc's 11g Shoebox Reef, LEDs, and a live beer bottle!

Love it. The bottle is great!!

 

Sweet! I use coralife too. Do you get a low alk with coralife?

 

Quick update, only good news .

I added a small Aquaclear HOB just for the carbon. I was given some really nice SPS by a friend, and rather than risk killing them, I spent the $30 on a HOB. Seems to have worked, they've all been in the tank for 4 days now and all seems well. In the past, they would burn up in a couple days (some, not all).


I still dose Vitamin C powder, buffered. 1/4 tsp a day is the magic number, and the trace of buffer in the VC powder is also holding my alkalinity quite stable at 8-9 dKH.

Keep in mind, I have no skimmer at all on this tank, and yet I also have 0.05ppm phosphates and 0.2ppm nitrates, on the Salifert kits (just tested tonight)


Small white/brown toadstool.



AOG Zoas growing quickly.


Idaho grape purple monti growing, as well as a new frag of Turbinaria scrolling coral on the back wall (magnet plugs).


Two small neon-green toadstools.


Several SPS---Monti undata, Monti digitata, and turbinaria.


Acro, of some sort. When "colored up" it's way more blue than this, in Gatorchem's tank (local friend).


Red mushrooms:


Kinda-sorta red/green lobo:

 

It is 10-11 dKH out of the bag I have.

 

Your corals are looking great.

LOBO crazy here !! Looks great !

 

Full tank shot--- everything appears to be growing (slowly) and healthy!
