shaywood Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) If anyone is interested, here's a video update of my 450. This at 2 1/2 years old. Many of you have purchased frags from the corals. Sorry about the poor quality. I had to scale it down to upload. Video was taken during water change, with pumps off. 2018-05-13 14.20.16.mp4 Edited May 16, 2018 by shaywood 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaywood Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) I run 3 hydra 26 HDs. Attached is the file. I turned all lights up for the video. Normally they're bluer. AI Preset.aip Edited May 16, 2018 by shaywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-3 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Nice mature tank! I am literally setting one of these up right now! Just put in live sand and I’m adding saltwater right now. I’ve been leak testing it for the last week with freshwater. What equipment are you using? Skimmer, flow etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using dry or live rock? Make sure if you use dry rock you cure it outside your tank so you don’t get tons of algae Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Thanks for the comments. I used live pukani rock when setting the system up. I cycled it in a 44 gallon can in the garage for 4-5 weeks before starting the setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ReefBox Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Curious why you are running alk dosing on doser and a calcium reactor together seems you could do it all of the CaRx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyk Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I just visited this tank today and it is amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I am running a reactor and Alk doser. Still trying to figure out this issue. I think the GEO612 might not be quite right. I use an Alk solution that also increases PH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
