Slythy's 70 Rimless SPS Dominate Build

[slythy]

Decided to do a full shotgun approach to help get rid of my vermintid snails. I purchased over 100 bumble bee snails lol

I would say I have around 130 bumble bees in my 70 as well as added 3 more emerald crabs. I think that should put my total emeralds up to 5 but never see any of them.

My fish are also not showing any signs of ich so hopefully the H202/UV treatment is working.

Here is the results of my first ICP test. Started dosing Tropic Marin A and B

I misremembered. Its Fauna Marin multielements A and B

There are too many companies with either Marin, Fauna or Tropic in them lol

Got 4 new corals. Got a good deal on these. the golden dragon was a free replacement for my other one that STN'ed over night.

first is a small HomeWrecker. It had a little burned tip so I trimmed it with my bone cutters.

Next is a baby MattV Rainbow Envy

got this mariculturaled piece, looked nice and purple at the store but angry now haha.

Lastly is my replacement golden dragon.

Not bad for around $120 for all of it. the homewrecker and mattv are super small but cant wait to see them grow out.

Most other coral is growing well.

Most my torches have gone from 1 head to around 6+

What is your lighting schedule? I've recently started struggling with my SPS and I'm running 3 x XR15s G4 Pros and 4 x T5 (2 x ATI Blue +, 2 x ATI Actinic)

What size tank? I am actually starting to convert my 180g over to reef. I plan on going with 3 xr30’s and 4 t5 bulbs.

Below is my schedule and mix

Thanks! I am actually starting to convert my 180 planted into my reef and make the 75g a frag system.

I did just get back from 2 weeks in Hawaii and had a bunch of loses of euphilia heads but also had tons of growth of my Acro's so I dont know what to make of it lol.
