Parameters:
Salinity: 1.025
Temp: 78-80 fahrenheit
pH: Never Tested
Calcium: 460-470
Alkalinity: 8.0-8.5 dKh
Magnesium: 1500 since I'm currently trying to kill some nasty bryopsis
Nitrate: 0 undetectable using Salifert and API
Phosphate: 0 Undetectable using Salifert and API
Additives:
Currently manually dosing Red Sea Foundation in the morning and evening.I have been using NOPOX for a couple of months now and the results have been decreased algea fuel.
Maintenance:
Changing the Filter Floss Twice a week,Chemipure and Purigen ever 3-4 months.One gallon water changes are done every week using Reef Crystals.
Feeding:
By my estimates the recommend dosing of Acropower for this system is around 1mL,but I'm doing about half of that in the morning and after noon before feeding the corals a mixture of Cyclopeeze,ReefRoids,Phytofeast,and Oysterfeast.The fish get feed a couple of pellets of New Life Spectrum and a mixture of Brime,Mysis, and Plankton soaked in Kent Marine Garlic,Boyd Enterprise's VitaChem,andSelcon.
History:
This is my second marine system ever and my first sps dominate.At its birth in the fall of 2015 this was meant to be a simple Zoa garden but after going on various forums I've I got a taste for the better things in life and have become somewhat addicted to SPS corals(the bug is no joke).
Future:
Someday when I'm all done with school and have my life on track(like that's ever gonna happen) I hope to be the proud owner of a TOTM caliber stick forest.In the meantime I'm gonna try to learn as much as possible with what's on hand and with the help of this community(all advice is welcomed).
