JCOLE's Big Box of Rocks

JCOLE · Nov 2, 2023

I took a video last night while snapping some pictures. Tank looked good in the night blues. Tank is one year old now since the crash and moving into the new system. The corals were resurrected from death, and I am happy to see 95% of them doing well with growth and color. Hopefully, I will see this tank fill in within six months or so.

I will try to get a better walk around in daylight with my better camera.

Uv sterilizer plumbed in and running as of yesterday. This thing is a beast! Don't mind the wires. These are all temporary until the new tank is up and running.

Spent all week buffing out the tank. Tank is finally done. I am going to start filling up the tank tomorrow. It is going to take a week to fill up!

Hi. Do you still run a UV for your tank?

Yes, I do. Thanks for reminding me. I need to change the bulb tomorrow.

What nutrients do you keep these days?

Just tested and NO3 is 12.2ppm and PO4 is .25ppm.

A couple of weeks ago NO3 was very low around .04 and PO4 was around .10. Not good! I am dosing Ammonia and other things to bring up nutrients. No3 is up and now working on lowering PO4. Things are looking much better now that they have food in the system.
