going well, filling up slowly with frags and stuff,

Happy to hear it, Ravi! At 800 gallons, I would imagine slow is about the only way it's going to happen. Unless, of course, you hit the lottery!

 

[ravi197699]

that is true, but tank is doing well and just waiting to see the growth on frags..

Wishing you and your loved ones good tidings!

happy Holidays everyone, here are some pictures of the tank, sorry I don't have good filter lens. All these are sps frags on top and lps on the bottom. frags are growing slowly but taking time on building base.

Made it through the whole build thread. Looks great Rav!

 

[ravi197699]

Thank you Aaron, I did my best to take care of all the issues and lessons learned from previous builds, I tried to take care of the basics.

@ravi197699 - It's been a while since we've heard from you. What's new or different?

 

[ravi197699]

new is that my frag tank overflowed due to Mexican turbo snail blocked the drain and my ato dumped 120 gallon of fresh water and alk, mag, cal took dip and nutrients went down and dino took over and went downhill from there, lost all my sps and lps stressed out, setting up 60 gallon low boy stand alone frag tank this weekend, It has been very un pleasant so far but I will overcome this and bring it back on track soon, sorry for not many updates but every weekend was project for this tank.
