Yes indeed Freddie ..it's going great I've had an acro in my tank that had never had pe until a couple of weeks ago now it's finally opened up ..but I think it's a combination of of a lot of things .. I'm still increasing my lights a little each week .. plus just finished 4x WC as advised by triton , I also think that dosing the vitamin C is helping I've lost a few zoas in the past but my new ones seem too be doing great now .. and on top of that I'm still working away from home (now the 8 th week ). So credit due too my girlfriend for looking after the tank ..so I'm only testing parameters 1x per week .. which is why I'm still struggling too get the right dosing for the triton .. I need too stop buying corals .. I'm addicted too monti 's at the moment ..selling of some of my frogspawn next weekend too make room !
But all in all I'm very pleased with my results .. although I would like better color ! will keep you posted ...

So for this weeks update ... finally got my chiller hooked up .. I've also hooked up my media reactor on the outlet of it so I'm not running another pump.. temp now a steady 25.5 c ...
also I sold 19 heads of my frogspawn and hammer corals too make some more room
Also acquired a few more corals from a friend he thought they might do better in my tank ..
Green stylo ( big piece )
Pink stylo
3 red birds nests
Montipora forest fire ( very small only just hanging on )
And I got a new green Formosa
Not got all the photos yet as blue lights were on .. but here's some photos I took earlier today

Yes it's taken awhile , but I'm happy it's finally on .. that should be another parameter that's stable now !

You got the spread down and (lol) your reef is a testament to @saltyfilmfolks , as far as lighting goes

 

[Jason mack]

You give me far too many compliments Freddie ,!!
I got my seneye .. but got ripped off ( what happens when you buy second hand ) it's not the seneye reef ... it's the seneye home . In a seneye reef box :mad:.. so upshot is I still don't have a par meter yet !!! Good news is it's only a software download that I need .. at a cost of 55 euros .. so I'll get it in a couple of weeks .. I've not altered my lights now for a couple of weeks , I'm seeing good growth on everything and the tank is happy for now , I'll wait for the par meter before I do anymore changes !

 

[GoVols]

Jason,
Not too many complements!!!

You've done your home work, stayed patient and she's locking in

Holy Moly. How rude!!!

Came home this week too find my tube anamone has committed suicide in one of my powerheads!
Also found out that my clown fish have layed eggs , I think this is for the first time although I've had them almost 2 years now !

hello .. not posted in awhile ,new update !

So finally finished working away from home after 14 weeks , and if I’m honest I’m quite happy with the way the tanks looking , full credit too my other half .. she’s done a fantastic job !!!
I’ve bought some more rock and now made a third pillar on the right side .. need more height in my tank more room for corals .. I’m quite pleased with it . Although it does need Fixing still .. fish seem too love it !
Only thing that bothers me is my ph seems too be high according too my seneye .. it’s registering 8.56 .. tank looks great though !
Got the seneye sorted so now the par meter is working , cable is too short so now ordered an extension... gonna take some readings tomorrow ..
sent a new triton test off ..
ooh one question? ... I have a monti forest fire .. it’s doing well growing good PE .. but it’s missing that underlying color green they have , I mean Its just red .. Iam I missing something.. how can I get it back too it’s true colors ??
Thanks for reading !
Mack
