Hey Chris.

Tank is looking good.

 

Tank looks good buddy!

 

thanks Cheryl and Cody

 

Whoa! Long time chris. Tank looks friggen amazing man!

 

Thanks Man.. Hope all well with your Family.

I am fairly happy with tank. Fragging off what I can to keep room between some of the corals. Wish we had some more 3reef members down near me that would want a spongode frag or 2. I have some good coral battles going on. Need a bigger tank but just can't swing it. Second daughter will be driving soon so there goes that.

Lights I no longer mess with although I know I could use a couple t5 to add to LED setup. The shadowing effect is quite evident on the corals body.
Still have my Co2 scrubber, Kalk reactor(1tbsp every 5 days) attached.
5gl water changes every week or so depending on other chores..

I do not remember last time I checked my tank levels.. Really got to do this ha ha

Colors oh Colors how they frustrate me ha ha.
So besides knowing I need additional lighting I had let feeding schedule slip. Was not adding my Fuel, or Acro Power etc..
Last couple months I started adding Phyco Pure(2 caps a day..overdoing it a little(based on suggested amount) but I wanted to see results. Well I must say I am surprised with coral growth(literally taking off). Some of the coral colors have improved which is really what I was looking for but not to my satisfaction.

My birdsnest polyps just do not extend like they used to so I started adding Fuel again last week and will watch results over next month +

Just tinkering and trying to enjoy the hobby!

 

I love phyco pure reef blend and acro power. The reef had a color set back but it's on track and coloring back up. You going to reefapalooza this year? Family is great, daughter is growing so fast, I've been giving her acro power, lol. We're going led soon, radion XR15 pro to be exact. The cost and heat of halides is getting to be a bit much. Glad things are good on your end and good luck with the new driver of the family If you frag that lepto, I'll drive to you for that piece bud.

 

total lol

Not sure if I will make it to reefapalooza as no tank room. I have coral depression not being able to buy and all ha ha.

Well if you look close at the lepto you will notice 2 pieces of frag plugs. I put that there for fragging purposes . Growth has been a bit slow but another couple months once it has covered tops 1 will be yours

 

I appreciate that chris. Keep some pics and updates coming my friend
