3 Months and Full Reef. Now what?

[MrTang13]

I have a complete full reef and the tank has been operating less than 3 months. I don’t subscribe to the “mature tank” theory (with the exception of those using dry rock and not live sand).

I’m still not satisfied with it. I’m trying to keep this ULM with hardy corals, but are looking for any suggestions to make it pop more.

Does anyone have any recommendations visually on what sort of colors or textures I should add and where? I’m hoping the zoas will do a lot once they grow in more.

Tips?

3 months of panic posts about Dino’s and now a hugely self assured post about what you don’t “subscribe” to for theories. What next? Try proving you can keep any of it alive long term.

The colors are what they are. You’ll need to add colors to get contrast. Much of those are pretty similar color palates.

It’s thriving. Do you not see these pics?

All thanks to careful planning and investing in a top quality brand, such as Red Sea.

Red Sea, the only “reef spec” brand in the hobby. I endorse them and encourage others to invest in their product line.

For a list of Red Sea recommendations, PM me!

Slow down and keep them alive and enjoy them. Btw nice looking tank. Buying colonies and filling out a tank it easy growing and maintaining a tank is the fun and challenges.

At this point it’s staged like you’d see at an open house. Nothing more. But keep up the Red Sea shilling.

Does this look like an “open house” to you?
I’m running an aquarium here, not no “fish tank”

So, what are the specs on the tank? What equipment you got?

lol, nevermind

I credit my success at its core to Red Sea and Fauna Marin. Top quality products.

Maybe the op can frag the chip on his shoulder for some more “pop”...

No chip here. I’ve proven my case on Red Sea products.

Other say “slow down.” But with Red Sea, your reef spec from the beginning.

I’m a Padi Certified Master Dover coincidentally and your right, I am now uniquely qualified.

Thank you Red Sea!

While Neptune has been a key player in this super bowl lineup of equipment, their products just made things convenient, and offered no material benefit to water quality.

For that, the MVP is Red Sea. I cannot reall you how well this tank performed, you just need to experience it for yourself.

Buy one now on their website.

I'm on it, because of you I'll continue to use red sea;Hilarious I guess your beyond the 6k and troubles.

 

[MrTang13]

In all seriousness though, what color and species of colony do I need to add next?

I’m trying to take this from just a hobby to an art. My goal is to produce a viral piece of social content on Instagram that shows we can repair the environments and save the coral reefs quickly if we just invest in top quality water filtration equipment, at a global scale.

Doubtful you could even hope to articulate any equipment comparison between what you have and any other. Outside of reading off the Red Sea website of course.
