Kschweer: 57 rimless build

What's new man?
Not too much man. Mixing up water for a water change and thinking about what corals I want to get rid of to make some room for new one. Space is starting to get limited...lol. How's your tank?

......Limited haha. Cool man, looking forward to seeing what you get
 
Hey buddy! Yea everything's been growing pretty well. Been fragging a good amount lately.
Nice, I wish my tank could be this good, I think I'm gonna need to strip down and restart because something went wrong during the setup.
 
What's going on with it?
Old tank syndrome :(
I'm just trying to maintain what's healthy like my LPS, mushrooms, and some of my zoas/palys. Also my nitrate resistant (survived up to 140ppm) acro is doing well despite the conditions.

Anyone want some nitrate resistant acropora? It literally took everything I could throw at it, including what was almost a crash, and now old tank syndrome.

Hope everything settles down for you soon. Any idea how the nitrates got so high?

We left for 2 months to Poland a good while back, and neglected the system for a while, which shot up the nitrates (as we had the equivalent of a potato filtering our system) and pretty much every coral but some zoas, a few LPS, of course our GSP, and our nitrate resistant acro. I'm like 99% sure this and the fact that we started with almost no filtration and bad live rock is what cause out old tank syndrome. I'm thinking of ways to store the healthy and nice corals in my tank to strip the system down and restart, maybe even upgrade (also gives me a chance to get the aquascape right :D)

Best of luck man! The remaining corals seem pretty hardy. I'm sure you could keep them alive in a stock tank or small cheap tank with light, flow and a heater for a good amount of time while you get everything reset.
 
Over the last week or so I have been getting some annoying algae on the sand bed. Pretty sure it's diatoms and will go away soon enough. Think it may have something to do with the new sand from the move. Been stiring it a bit before water changes and that seems to be helping. My bulbs are also up for changing. Have changed out 4 of the 6 so far.

Tonight I went to change the last 2 bulbs in my fixture (2 blue+) but unfortunately one wouldn't fire. I put the old bulb back in and it works just fine. I figure I just got a bad bulb. I have been through quite a few t5 tubes and have never had this happen. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
