Saltfinsax Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thats a lot a fish, but I kinda like it. I think it looks a lot like a real reef with all them fish moving around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 my phosphates were at 30 when i decided i should check them. i am runnin a lil fish reactor and i have them down to 14 after a month. I just checked my nitrates on friday and they are 2.5 witch kinda surprised me, i though they might be little higher cause i do feed kinda heavy. I think i can live with a 2.5 nitrate reading with all those fish in there. i wonder if my corals will suffer with that high of nitrates, i will have to keep an eye on them.

ReeFit Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Wow your po4 is at 30? I'd focus on that before a nitrate level of 2.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylaster Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 for optimal coral health you want the phosphates and nitrates to read 0. They will survive with that reading, but not be super happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 I just want everyone to see what i look at everyday. I know some of you don't have a lot of fish in your tanks because of sps and i understand that,but i want to have both. I just set up a calcium reactor about 3weeks ago so i think that will help greatly with my alk swings i was having. My nitrates are still at 2.5 which i know is not that great but i think its good with this many fish. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as i do. I have 23 fish in my system.

Gill Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Your tank is Insane!!! Is your avatar sitting On the sand bed to the right of the video shot? If so then those are the biggest nuke greens I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 The Nuke Greens are sitting on the rocks above the bubble coral, The ones on the sandbed are just some green palys. My purple deaths are the same size I will try and get some updated shots today of them when the lights come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewisriverfisherman Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Thats a sweet pic Brandon Thank you for the nice comment. Thats almost worth entering in the pic contest. I owe all the credit to Rick for his slide show presentation it really helped with with taking pictures. My camera settings were so far off but with the slide show I got it really dialed in.

lewisriverfisherman Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Bumping this up....this was my old tank I had to tear down. The video in the 2nd post works but none of the other ones do, but some kewl pics. There is not a lot of equipment info but I was running dual 250 watt HQI with 14k Phoenix bulbs and a sunlight supply ballast, cheap dual hydor power heads, I believe a ecoplus 1285 return pump, and a Ruben Special skimmer, DA Reef keeper light, I had a 5 gallon deep remote sand bed that was plumbed into the sump. Enjoy, I'll see if I can dig up a few more videos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
