cFloor's 250g. SPS

cFloor · Jun 9, 2017

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my new tank. I just recently upgraded from my 190g which was running for about 2 1/2 years. All of my corals started from frags and some have been with me for many years now.

Here is the last video I shot of my previous tank. I did sell off some of my acros so my new tank would have a more open look.

awesome setup. Any tips for getting regals to eat and stay healthy? Thinking of getting one myself.

Thank you, I think QT for regals is very important. Get them eating well with no competition. Once they are eating aggressively they seem to be pretty hardy. Mine have left my SPS alone, but would eat most LPS and polyps.

Thanks! No, my corals haven't spawned since the last event. Hope to see it again one day.

Are you still running the RO Regal? I have a SRO-5000 that's several years old and runs on the original AC pump. It works well but I think there's definitely room for improvement. They sell the same pump the Regal is running as an upgrade to the SRO and I'm considering that to save money on a skimmer. The pump is 325 and a new non spacesaver is 615

Yes, I'm using the Reef Octopus 300. I was previously using a Reef Octopus with one of their older pumps and I'm very happy with the new AC pump. It's silent and I love the controllability and lower power consumption.

Looks great! Love that bandit pair

Beautiful! Love the angel pairs. Although it probably would look quite bare with the minimal rock work at first, it looks great now that the corals have grown.

Love those angels! Very cool tank

Looks great, one quick question: What type of foods did you try to get your Regals eating and when you quarantine them what type of medications did you use if any? Thanks, looks stunning!!

Thank you, yea I agree if I started this tank with frags it would look pretty bare. My past couple tanks, although I didn't use a ton of rock, I felt like I could have used much less. I didn't want to make that mistake with this one.

Thanks! I treated my regals with cupramine and prazi pro. One of my regals ate really fast while the other took some time. I could only get it to eat seaweed at first and finally he moved on to frozen foods such as mysis and spirulina brine.

Just found your new build thread - Following!

The new tank is looking AWESOME and your fish have to be loving the extra space.

Daniel@R2R · Jul 10, 2017

Rocking and rolling, man! I loved the old tank, and this one is already amazing!

I know I've been complimenting your tank on Instagram, but seeing it on a desktop makes it 10x better! Awesome tank man, absolutely love your fish selection.

Thank you! Glad you found me

Yea my fish seem happier in a bigger tank with all that extra room. Hopefully they keep growing!

Thanks so much. I do miss my old tank, but am loving having more room to work with.

Thanks Atul! Maybe one day I'll be able to add a wrought iron to the mix. I've never even seen one of those in person before.

My cali tort lost a lot color during the transfer but in the past few weeks it has started to rebound back to what it was in my previous tank.
