What have you done to your set up today?

20 long 2 fish

 

Just picked up a bunch of brightwell products for dosing plus a few different resins they make. Changed out all media bags and replaced my chemipure blue carbon media. Tank is looking great with awesome growth. Gonna have to upgrade again

I should be able to get everything for my tank to be done the RIGHT way

Also going to buy a bunch of brown Acros

 

Got my base rock from reef cleaners, overall happy with my order. I used a couple rocks from my old tank (killed them before using them).

The scape is very nice IMO. hopefully you all will like it too once I get a thread going

Set up an ATO the other day, now that I have one, it seems I will never be able to go without one. I've also been looking into running an mp10ews on a reef link controller so I can play with it on my iphone. lol

 

25% water change...algae clean from front and side glass and rock...vacume substrate, flush rocks with turkey baster... trimmed algae in sump... changed carbon and Phose ban in reactors.... clean skimmer,power heads and pumps.. wash sock filter... clean all external glass and top glass... clean light bulbs ( after cooling) .. test ( and record) all water parameters and dose with Kent Marine vita max...

 

Blasted all the rock let it set and then blasted it again, vacuumed the entire sand bed collecting 20% of my water for water change and also cleaned the cyano off the glass as well. All this to try and lessen the Cyano in my DT, my ongoing war.

 

I got my Kalk reactor fired up last night! I'm super stoked

My SPS collection has been growing and I have a tiny tiny bit of dinos left in my tank, so I'm hoping to raise my PH and keep it consistent. I have the kalk on a slooooow drip to start out. It was actually one of the easier things to setup. I have it hooked up to a dosing pump, I don't want to use my evaporation rate to control my Kalk dosage, that's just me.

 

What reactor did u get ? U should do thread on it lol

 

I bought a used Precision Marine KR620 from my local reef club.

You know, that's a good idea. I did a bunch of searching on this particular reactor and there wasn't much out there. I will take some pictures tonight and start a thread with how I've set it up. I will warn you, it is in "test-mode" just to get it running. So, let's just say, it's hooked up... haha!

 

I ride to the LFS ( this one only deals with salt water and coral) sent me home a few $$$$ lighter and with a beautiful Brain coral, an older hammer coral colony and two mushroom colonies...one that is an assorted color colony the other lime green... that prompted a "rework" or some of the rock work and some "pouting" of the inhabitants... I'll post pictures when every one resumes being themselves...
On a sadder note... I discovered that my tank has a leak... I'll post details elsewhere.. so I've got a huge project ahead of me..
