My New 130 gallon tank

That's some good growth. Must be a pretty high demand system. Are you using a calcium reactor to keep up with the demand?

No i use a dosing machine...i dose roughly 1.5 ml every hour on the hour of calcium and 5 minutes after every hour i dose 1.5 ml of Alk ...then 10 minutes after each hour i dose 1.5 ml of Mag....i use all Seachem products because they are stronger #1 and contain other elements

I've started adding SPS already to my new scape...and excited about my new "ACRO TREE" yes you heard me right lol....an Acro Tree . ..figured since everyone has "ZOA GARDENS" I'd create something unique for a SPS tank....and so was born the Acro Tree

So far there are 3 sps on this acro tree...but I'm going to add 2 more to equal 5 branches the red circles are sps...the 3 species so far are PC RAINBOW , PINK LEMONADE , AND BUBBLE BATH UNICORN . .... I'll post a picture of each sps from the Internet for reference , the yellow circles are Palys I inserted to fill in gaps , and the blue circles represent where the 2 new SPS will go to equal 5

I also decided to use a 14 inch shelf piece to grow "1" colony to it's full potential . ...this will be a labor of love to watch this grow all alone ...the name of this coral is a Aquatic Man Table ....I posted an Internet picture for reference . ..it's a Battle Corals piece

The changes this tank has undergone in a lil over 2 years is amazing to say the least...will this be the last time I change it ???? Only time will tell...but at least for the time it takes to grow my new SPS out its safe to say i won't change it up anytime soon
