Everything looks great! How are you liking the bio pellets? I am thinking about incorporating them into my system and wanted to get your opinion on them?
 
Jesse

Congrats on your new addition to the family!

Everything in your tank looks great.....

Are you happy with the Miracles build?
 
Thanks everyone.
I have moved the Warner MArine AS150 to the frag tank to replace the swc 120. the 120 was a bit too small for the tank.

Thanks E. I am happy with the build all except the overflow. THe tank is great but the overflow cuts could of been cleaner. but I really like the tank. I would do it again.

Thanks Jon,

As far as Bio pellets, I have had no issues with them and everything is doing well. I need a little bigger pump on my reactor but other than that. all is good. I actually called Jon warner before I bought them as he has more experience in additives and different things than I. I know they were working on something like that. So I thought I would give these NP Biopellets a shot. I use them, and dose CA and Alk. Check MAg once a month, two drops of iodine every other day, and I use ocean wonders coral food mixed with warner marine coral snow once a week. Other than feeding thats it.
 
Oh I think i forgot to mention everyone...... IT's a girl !
 
Wait you had a child?
Or did I miss something? haha

Either way whatever is going on it sounds like you deserve a congratulations man!!!!
 
its not due until Oct 1st..... Time for the wife to have a frag of her own....
 
Ok its about time for a picture update. I ll have to take some pics later this week. I did pick up a couple fish so I thought I would check my water before they arrive, So I tested pretty much everything test for. Also I have been running 10 days now without GFO. only the np biopellets. So I thought It would be good to check everything as well.

Here are the results
ph 8.25
alk 7
ca 400
nitrite 0
nitrate 0
ammonia 0
mag 1450
phosphates .02

So all in all not bad. Ill have to adjust my dosers up a little on the CA and alk try to alk up to about 8 and ca to 420 to 440. But overall I am pleased. the phosphates went up from 0.00 to 0.02 but thats not bad at all. Actually the tank is looking really good and the water is nice and clear.

I will be adding a purple tang, a borbonias anthias, and a coral beauty. I will do some updates when I add the fish.

I am increasing the flow in the reactor once again. Using a mag 3. want the pellets to tumble more.

I picked up Borbonias anthias #1 today.
Tomorrow #2 borbonias anthias will arrive along with a purple tang and coral beauty.

Thats should about leave me stocked up. 2 borbs, 1 purple tang, 1 coral beauty and a flame hawk.

Will probably add a nice wrasse yet.
