Steve's Reefer 250

I just used shapes and would do it again. It's incredibly easy to use.
Still liking the rocks? Any paint coming off or leeching phosphate? On the edge of getting the life rock shapes as well. Prob getting 20lb of shapes and 40lbs original for the Red Sea 350.
 
I am currently
After adding water to my tank 12 days ago I now have life in the shape of 2 percula clowns.
I added a big bottle of ATM Colony at the start and have been dosing Dr Tims ammonia. The last 2 days I have dosed the ammonia to 2ppm and have had a 0 reading the following day. My lfs recommended this method, and to be honest, I was very sceptical. But it does seem to work.
Hydras are now sorted and running a very reduced BRS schedule at around 25%.
Onwards and upwards.

Did I understand this right? You were dosing ammonia when you already had fish in the tank??

Anyway, I am also cycling my tank and I am using 100% caribsea base, shapes, and shelf liferock.
 
Sorry for the long overdue update.
Due to neglect on my behalf my little reef took a downturn and I lost the majority of my acros.
I decided to go back to basics and I started buying my salt water from my LFS again. After all, they have 2 stunning sps dominated show tanks so there can't be too much wrong with it.
Slowly but surely my reef is beginning to bounce back. Even 2 monticaps that believed had died are making a recovery.
I can now look at the tank again without cringing.

@Pennywise the Clown how are your fish doing? Can you give us a fish list?
 
and your coral beauty is not bothering your corals?

I really want a dwarf angelfish really bad, but I love my corals more.
The coral beauty has been a model citizen. I've never seen it pay any attention to my corals at all.
The only fish that I have ever had trouble with was my yellow goby that managed to strip a nice acro frag in one day. That went straight back to my lfs.
