Looks awesome! I’m still waiting for my tank / sump to ship

Thank you!

Tank and sump supposed to ship this week, hope still does with everything going on. Worked on my light getting ready to hang

Got Geos calcium reactor in... its a beast lol. I think too much for frag tank might use for display... if I can get media seems like tlf reborn is having issues ... not sure what else is good or available...

I need to rent a par meter again. No clue what I’m getting on my frag tank Or main tank with the new lights.

I’ve never used a calcium reactor. I dose with apex dos. I may have to get one if demand ever gets to high. Do you find them easier? Or less maintenance ?

Did you QT your mandarin? I added a pair to my tank and lost 13/14 fish to velvet. Every fish but the mandarin’s had gone through QT/copper/GC. I wont do that again.

 

[Kindred]

That sucks... yes I did qt, 30 days , but did not treat only observe. I made a small tank with some liverock and went through a lot of reef nutrition pods

 

[Williamson’s Reef]

My tank is fallow now. I have 5 QT tanks going with fish waiting to go back in the DT. Figured it was a good time to add the frag tank into the system. And load up on coral. My tank is overrun with pods. I added a bunch when I bought the mandarins. Some are so big they carry off pellets when I feed the tank...lol

Yep! Big thanks to John at Advanced Acrylics, they are pretty much shut down due to the current situation, but he finished it himself and got it out to me. Im impressed by the quality and service and plan to use again!

now on to plumbing !

 

[Williamson’s Reef]

You can’t ask for better customer service than that. I love mine also. Great experience all the way around.
