Waterbox Frag 55.2

[djray77]

Yes, it's really nice to have something to look at now, I also have 3 cardinals and a royal gramma. I was at 0 N03 and 0 P04 I had to add something. It did the trick LOL!. It's not crazy high nitrates and P04 are in the perfect range I feel. I think I will take your advice and just do a 10gal water change and call it good.

I just purchased an XR30Gen5 Pro to replace my red sea 90. It's a nice light but I don't think it's gonna cut it for all the high-end SPS I want in here. I feel it's more an LPS light. That's what I got from the BRS video on it.

Everything else seems to be OK, Cal is a little higher than I would like so that Waterchange might do good all around.

I found a use for my vertex reactor. Gonna try an algae reactor.

I have 0 phosphates and 3 nitrates, I have some algae in the tank and I have been dosing phosphates but can't seem to get it above 0. I'm assuming the algae is taking it up. I do have some corals and don't want them to starve so what would be the best plan of action? Keep dosing phosphate and try vibrant? I have shut down the skimmer. The algae rector is still running but it looks like the chaeto is dying off and turning white.

Yea the stands aren't the best that's for sure, but the tanks/plumbing are pretty amazing.

But is it sturdy?

Yea seems to be holding up. I think if I ever upgrade and get a 6 footer again it will be an aluminum stand.

Well if it's the black stand you're going with get yourself a tap for the threads on the feet. The coating is covered in the threads and doesn't allow the feet to screw in.

Yup its the black stand...

SO how the hell does it screw in? Seems like something so basic

These Jack-o-lanterns are so colorful! It's just amazing in person.

 

[djray77]

How long does it take for new frags to color up? I have had this WD a couple of weeks now and it doesn't look like WD colors. Maybe I got sold a dud? lol

Just wanted to upload a recent picture for the build thread. Not much growth just a lot of encrusting so far. My gold torch is the only thing that's not looking so good Pretty sure it's not going to make it and I have no clue why. It was pretty bad when I received it.

I received my Clearview lid today, I ordered it at the end of Feb so it's a long turnaround time in my opinion but I am very happy with it. Looks super nice and fits perfectly.

Good looking lid

Kinda wishing I had got one of those, what did it set you back?

 

[djray77]

It was $250 with the 2 cutouts in the rear and a feeding door.

I'm thinking about selling everything and starting again with a new build a few months down the road. Livestock has to go first and I know a few of you are in the Michigan area. If you see anything you like let me know.
Some of the SPS I know the names to, here's the list.
SPS:
Jagged Blue
Jack the Bean Stock
PC Rainbow
Red dragon
Grapevine
Frosted forest
Lemon lime drop
Blue tip stag
Shriek ears

LPS/Softies:
Purple torch and pineapple torch (Pineapple isn't doing so great not sure why as the other is thriving.)
zoas
acans
Gonipora
Cyphastrea

Fish:
2 Mocha storm clowns (mated pair)
2 bicardinals
1 royal gramma.
