Swiss Red Sea Max Nano (20g)

[X-37B]

Well, I think I might start one just for me to see progression of the tank over time.
To be honest, I just bought 2 new AI Hydra 32 HD for the new red sea reefer 200 xl and my plan is to have 4-5 acros on top and some other sps.. plus some LPS on the bottom (its bare bottom)

The tank is already running since August 7 and I guess cycling is more or less done..

so basically it will be a mixed reef.. but yeah.. i got hit hard by acros.. kinda addicted and want to show me that I can grow a frag to a colony.. thats what I wanna proof to myself...

I posted this in the wrong thread, lol.

no problem, brother
We understand eachother haha.

I will lets you know when I installed the 2 Hydras.
Im looking forward to see it in action.. I mean.... I was never 100% happy with the radion and its light/look.
Hopefully the Hydras will make me happy though.

Yea you will do well with the 32's.
The 16's converted me from halides so they cant be to shabby since I own 12 now, lol.

Personally, I feel your side of the world has some killer SPS corals. I follow a handful (or 100 handfuls) of pages on IG and nearly all the SPS posts I like reside there lol

wow I was thinking the opposite.
I mean most of the corals are maricultured here and imported from Bali. There almost no coral vendor who sells aquacultured WYSIWYG stufflike your vendors in the US.

Are you mostly into SPS?

Im mostly into LPS and Softies, but in the next 6 months I'd like to designate one of my farm tanks into a SPS grow out. I just have to work out some kinks before I take the plunge lol As well as save some money I want the finer selection of things

I have a serious SPS addicition (Acropora)... because, I was out of the hobby for years and now I am 34 years aold and started again lol.. I just want to proof myself that I can grow Acro frags into colonies, thats all..

I think with how far the industry has come with aquaculture and the things we know now vs 5 years ago, you will have no problem! I will be sure to check in time to time on your build!

ok corals new frags are glued to the rocks..
lets see how they grow

im trying to lower no3 and po4 a little and will dose a carbon source therefore.

 

[Miami Reef]

Following!

thank you man, I appreciate it
Hopefully they will grow nicely.. Need to lower po4 and no3 slightly

 

[chipchipbro]

Well, my no3 skyrocketed to 45ppm
I did start carbon dosing a week ago and did 30% WC.

As of today my no3 lowered to 32ppm and I think my carbon dosing starts to kick in.

The acros darkened alot and I hope they will get lighter and glow again when my goal of 10-15ppm no3 is reached.

Once this is reached I will try dosing NP Bacto Balance to keep my levels of nutrients.

What are you using for carbon dosing?

 

[chipchipbro]

What are you using for carbon dosing?

Bacto Energy from Fauna Marin
and Bacto Therapy to support

But this is my old thread I just noticed :‘)
