Saulsa’s 200xl

[Saulsa]

About 5 months ago I decided it was time to get back into the hobby after moving to Alabama from California. This is my “low maintenance” 200xl. Thankfully I have some great friends from the reefing scene in California, so I can import some of the Cali heat. I plan to add SPS in a few months after getting a doser setup for Kalk.

I think I’m maxed out on sump equipment

Looks like you're off to a great start is this a prime light you have with a shade?

If so, then I'd suggest you rent a PAR meter before adding any SPS corals to this tank! Would be a shame not to have enough light to care for them

Best of luck, thanks for sharing

Ahh yes forgot to mention I want to add another prime light before the kalk doser.. before the sps.. so hard to pace myself! I started when halides were the only option- I miss that 14k phoenix DE halide look and turn key use on sps..

Thank you!!

Not much of an update other than today was maintenance day. The ATS is starting to turn green but not really growing much. I’ve kept the skimmer online until the ATS takes off. I plan to run ATS only on a schedule opposite of my lights.

I ordered a ReefFactory single head doser to dose kalkwasser solution. I’ve always wanted to use kalkwasser but was afraid of it for some reason. For now the tester frag will be a good canary in the coal mine before adding more of my sps list.
