90 gallon build finally started!

Good. in between getting a tunze topoff or just going apex and break out box for topoff can't decide. How have you been? Got the biocube goin yet?

I've been alright man. Biocube isn't setup yet, still waiting.

 

[Catchemall]

So I decided to get the tunze osmolator and so far it's been well worth the money. It's been real nice not having to do the daily topoff thing didn't realize how much of a burden that was. In addition I'll be good while I'm on vacation now and not have to worry near as much. Started dosing and have my parameters on point now.
Cal 425
Alk 9
Mag 1350
Nitrates 0
Not sure about phosphates.
The algae turf scrubber is starting to grow but seems slow I think my leds on it are still burning the middle of the screen. Everything looks real healthy right now. Enjoying this hobby more than I thought I ever could. Thanks everyone on reef 2 reef for being a good community to be a part of.

Sorry for the delay bro! Yeah the biocube is still empty.

I have this five gallon for the time being. The clownfish I saved from an ichy death at Petco about two weeks ago. I've been helping my dad setup his 110 gallon so haven't had much time to set mine up. Excuses excuses

 

[Catchemall]

Oh man he's got some cool markings missing a bar.

 

[Catchemall]

Lyretail anthias. Man thes little gals are pretty cool

 

[bknapp]

Good luck with the new anthias.

 

[Catchemall]

Yea hope they do good they're neat little fish

Ok saw this little rose bubble tip anemone at the store so had to have it. Tanks been up for almost 9 months and ready. everything has been good and stable so I took the plunge next step I've found some nice sps peices I'd like to try at. So now it's a waiting game for my clowns to jump in their anemone and get all cozy. Lol. Hopefully it'll happen anyway. Pictures don't do this thing justice it has alot of green in it as well

 

[Catchemall]

Where is all the coralline growth!? Lol a lot of people dislike it but I really want some because it looks so natural to me. There some on crabs and snails and places on rock work and frag plugs but none on the back glass or overflow. Calcium 425 alk 10.2 mag 1350. Nitrate 0. Not sure about phosphate. That may be the problem. But the scrubber has taken off so I'm sure it's starting to suck out phosphate because all my corals are extended good and colored up nicely also really clear water today.

Also this is the latest growth pic of my scrubber screen. Starting to grow some green algae on there now. Nutrient export is getting bigger and bigger each time I clean.

Nice Tank

 

[Catchemall]

Thank you it will be 9 months next week so it's still a baby and work in progress. I'm pretty happy with my fish stock right now and pretty well stocked so now I'll be adding a coral here and there and fill this sucker up. My next big purchase will more than likely be a Doser. Mainly to quit having to do it daily

Nice man! Your tank is really coming along nicely. Keep up the good work

 

[Catchemall]

Thanks @cameronh. My sand bed is nasty I can vacuum it and it's right back nasty a couple days later. Hopefully once the algae scrubber matures it'll pull it out and clear up. I noticed your tank is looking good I have a small frogspawn frag but it's so small it'll take forever to grow the size of yours. Lol

Everything takes time man! Haha. I wish it all grew much faster.
