My new SPS Tank

[Roberto Denadai]

Hey Roberto - what's your perspective on dosing in smaller SPS heavy tanks (e.g., under 40 gallons)? I'm looking for a simple dosing system - and looking at carbocalcium or kalkwasser. I have minor concerns about clogged dosing lines.

Many thanks for sharing your experiences here - love the simplicity of your systems.

Go with all for reef or / and carbocalcium. If your magnesium starts to rise too much, dose for example 50% all for reef and 50% carbocalcium, or 40%/60% , 30%/70% what is best for your tank to keep ca, alk and mg

Perfect - that's what I have mapped out. Let's see how this goes

I second this. Love your tanks man! Been an admirer of your skills since i first saw your tank years back with xm 10k I believe. Is this your first led tank???

Your natural coloration, clean style and ability to color these wild fragments is awesome!

Newer reefers here need to keep an eye on this tank and learn how it’s done. There are many ways to keep tanks and he has this method nailed down! I really hope you keep the nice bright pastel colors on this tank and hope you have good luck with the leds!

Huge fan of your tank. One of my absolute favourites. How to you clean your BB and keep it so clean? I bit the bullet and bought a Aquamedic mega mag that is strong enough to clean my BB through the bottom tank glass and cabinet. Works really well.

I use a toothbrush and sometimes an algae scraper. Nothing fancy

9hrs full or do you also use ramp up?

This fixture has 4 channels but you can´t dim them. So I just turn on each channel with 15 minutes interval

Hey @Roberto Denadai . I'm starting up a new system (SPS goals) and super-intrigued by your use of a refugium from day 1, along with corals early on. Indeed, this goes against some of the prevailing winds in the hobby. Aside from finding biodiverse live rock, do you think this is crucial to your success? Many thanks.

Absolutely beautiful Roberto!!!!!! Makes me want to consider switching to all SPS, instead of LPS and SPS! LOL!
