Hi guys
This is the thread for the reboot of my tank, I've had this tank for nearly 3 years now and with the disaster that it was in the previous rented house, I am now in my own house where I have much more space and more space to put equipment that in my opinion is needed for a tank this big.
Equipment wise much is the same there are a few upgrades. I do blame some piece of equipment in the old tank for the disaster that it became, but I never actually worked out what it was... I did have to send a red dragon pump back that was leaking voltage, but even after that the tank didn't really improve that much. Corals grew but it was never how I envisaged it.
tank - braceless 72x24x21 length width height
Light - Ati Hybrid 80 w
bulbs front to back - blue+ coral+ blue+ purple+ LEDS actinic+ blue+ coral+ blue+
Return pump - Vectra m1
Powerheads - 1 mp60 quietdrive 3 mp40 quiet drive
skimmer - Royal Exclusiv Supermarin 250 with red dragon speedy
Reactors - I have a deltec Reactor im not using currently however when i see phos creep up a little i run some phos remover
calc reactor - pf601.. i have the gas running for about 1 and half hours at the moment this is to counter the 1.8kh drop every day at the moment
as of 3/1/2016
sorry its a bit wonky i took this quickly
At the moment i'm currently using aquaforest products.
Pro Biotic Salt - 10 percent weekly
Pro Bio S - 7 drops
NP Pro - 35ml i have the apex DOS doser doing this daily.
I also have about 40 litres of Siporax in the sump
the tank is about 3 and half months old now.
params atm are 7.5 kh
phos 0.008 according to ELOS
nitrate varies between around 2 and 5 according to salifert i want this to come down slightly.. it stayed at 0 for ages and once i added the bartlett anthias it has gone up.
Current fish list
Convict tang
7 Bartletts - bought 8 one jumped
7 Blue eyed cardinals - bought 10, 3 perished
1 multibarred angel that likes eating pocilliporas
I have about 100 different snails in there as well, true mexicans - astrea and black foot.
Thanks for reading!
