Here's mine, for my Reefer XL 425 (88g display, SPS dominant): I’m still adjusting dosing manually every three or four days. It doesn’t need much tweaking yet since I don’t have a lot of corals. Eventually I’ll have to automate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Tavan Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 Firing up the quarantine tank. Either means a good thing or a bad thing. In my case it means I will be buying new fish soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manny Tavan Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I think it’s the 20 gallon nuvo that I bought used. Used it to quarantine all my fish earlier this year. Then it went into storage. It’s so nice to have a quarantine tank on hand whenever you need one Edited November 28, 2019 by Manny Tavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aluminum is high (because I used marinepure media again). I guess they haven’t fixed the issue. My first tank also had high aluminum and that’s why I tossed out all the marinepure balls from that system. Use siporax instead of marinepure block 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertareef Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Manny - did you pick up those Orpheks new or find a pair locally? How are you liking them? Seem like a really nice form factor and coverage on that tank. Certainly the coral are looking good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayes Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Wow your system looks amazing! Nice to meet you this morning, looks like the frags have settled in nicely already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Tavan Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Decided to rearrange my tank. Added a couple pieces of stax rocks. These are great and kinda wished I had done my entire scape with those. The flat surfaces are perfect for setting corals. I drilled 1/4” holes to place frag plugs in the rock here is the start of my goni garden (don’t mind the ugly chalice) Edited January 1, 2020 by Manny Tavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
