albertareef Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 What do you call that last one? Not sure I've seen it in a tank around here before. Things are looking really sharp - congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Rocks look so clean, great work on nutrient management! Coral looks great, what a super reef you have going. Since you shared, I have to ask. What kind of skimmer? What do you do for Calcium/Alk? What kind of lights are you running? What temp do you run?

AcanLord Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Rocks look so clean, great work on nutrient management! Coral looks great, what a super reef you have going. Since you shared, I have to ask. What kind of skimmer? What do you do for Calcium/Alk? What kind of lights are you running? What temp do you run? I was running a super cheap nano skimmer that actually does a decent job but maybe does 75 gallons a day at the most. I just got an SCAquariums 303 skimmer and it's doing a great job. I have noticed more polyp extension since adding the new skimmer. For Cal and Alk, I dose 2 part irregularly and I've never tested my water. Ever. Until about a month ago when my favias and chalices started bleaching and melting. My Alk was at 6.3 so since then I've been dosing 2 part 6 days a week. And my lights are cheap China LEDs. I've had a few reefers be pretty impressed by my tank and to be honest I feel like it's mostly luck. I've had problems and taken measures to fix them, and I've done hours and hours of research before I add any fish, coral or equipment but other than that, I just feed twice a day, and do water changes every 2-3 weeks. Jodis food from TECO here in Medford is a big deal too I think. My parents tank had nutrient problems till they started using his food. And my friends tank has hair algae issues I'm pretty sure is from over feeding and not having a skimmer. Thanks for the compliments! As an 8 month reefer it means a lot for experienced reefers to see the hard work I've put in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcanLord Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 That is a fungia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungia) - a really nice one. Like everything in this tank it looks really happy! Great job.Thank you very much. Compliments from the pros really mean a lot to me. I'm actually struggling with a maxima clam at the moment. It's not opening. It's attached itself to the bottom of the tank so I can't move it. I'm nervous that I saw pyramid snails under one of its flutes but I inspected it very closely when I got it and it was looking great for the first 3 weeks then suddenly it's not opening for the last few days :( any ideas? My parameters aren't ideal but I can show you pics of literally every coral and fish and even the derasa clam and everything looks very happy. I guess there's always gotta be at least one thing that isn't happy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
