Doostur's Waterbox 230.6 - Mixed Reef Build

[SkiCatTX]

I hate cutting filter for my cups but by far the cheapest option. Replace every 4-5 days. Cut into 6x6 squares. Can buy on amazon.

Dude, get a roller! Replace that only every month or two, done.

I'm loving my Klir so far.

What does everyone keep their nitrates, phosphates, alk at? What is the max par at the top of your rock work and how long do you guys run at max for each day?

 

[Doostur]

Added a little decor.

Completed a ICP Analysis water test of my tank and RO water. Results below.

Checked par. 4x XR30 G4 Pros with diffusers. Right under one of the XR30s, at the peak of my rock work, @ 40%, I'm at around 230ish par.

Thanks! Basically the same thing. I think waterbox did it to main stream parts. What skimmer are you using in your sump? I'm assuming youre doing a refugium since I sent you some chaeto. The Random Flow nozzles are pretty nice also. I added 2x 3/4s!

Also what kind of salt do you mix with?

I'll definitely check put thos nozzles as we were trying to decide about those hahah

We use a Quantum skimmer amd nose reactor with the semi fuge. We have to move the skimmer to the from to stop chewing up all the pods but other than that its running pretty smooth!

Your cheato is wonderful by the way...but I think you knew that hahaha

Of course I typically don’t do the premade systems. I like piecing together my system. My wife liked it so I said what the heck.

Same thing with me. Wife actually purchased it for me. I like putting together my own tanks as well but was much more expensive doing something custom. I got the last 230.6 back when they were under $3300. Now the new 220.6 is almost $4k. Crazy. I also got $700 toward coral and fish. I got a great deal

Evening,

Sorry, I am way behind. Looking great from what I got caught up on. I need to go back and read the specifics. Frag rack runith over

 

[Doostur]

Some updated pics!

Although I'm not a fan of Reed Roids (aka reef phates), my corals do respond well to it. Need to watch how much you use, phosphates will go through the roof.

Great success with Benepets. No experience with reef chili. Decided to mix a small amount of each and see for myself.

Some night time shots. Man this indo gold torch is coloring up nicely in higher par. Compared to the one in lower par (sand bed). What a difference.
