Some more random shots of 75G

New 75G is 3 months old now, have three radion xr30s mounted perpendicular to tank at 46 % (mostly blue with tiny bit of white) and want to raise par to help with growth and pigment development. I also just introduced some new frags so perfect timing to increase par. I measure par using seneye...

Alk drops 0.5 dkh in first two hours? That’s some hard core biblical changes! Updated pics of tank and sump?

My 25G year old lagoon consumes 18 ml b-bionic alk per day; 75G 3 month old tank using 38 ml BRS alk per day. Bare bottom tanks, no clams, just SPS. Unless you have a 12” giga clam or something I can’t imagine why your alk consumption is so heavy! if you stop dosing alk, what is your tank...

0.1 dkh drift over 24 hours by dosing evenly. 7.67 dkh trident is 8.2 as measured by Hanna. Will try to figure out profile to even that out a bit…

You reminded me that in the trident manual they recommended setting up a profile like you described above. I’m still running constant dose across 24 hours and should add profile.

Just out of curiosity how long does your media last before you need to replace?

Yup and when I ran my 210 with CaRx refilling those CO2 bottles was expensive. If you do don’t bother with tini tiny baby bottle get the large ones because it will cost about the same to refill.

Yup, the unit is mostly battery with tiny tiny charging circuit board. Super easy to replace battery once you pop rivits off.

Yes, you may also like the bubblegum digi just because you don’t see that color often in other corals.

Ordered

Do you mean the Forrest fire montipora digitata above the garf bonsai? If so both are common and arguable some of the most colorful and beautiful, easy to keep SPS in the hobby! Everyone should have both in their SPS tanks!

Welcome. I’m in Pleasanton. Don’t forget to start a tank journal for either your 20 year old and/or new tank!

Here is pan of 25G lagoon frag tank where I plan to stage corals before being moved to 75G

I’ll give your advice an entire dollar! Yes I’m staging them on top of the rock to let them heal then will move to final location (probably back of tank by rear wall)

Slow pan of current setup. Note no corals are cemented in place yet and I’ve moved circulation pumps 10 times.

I bought five lyretail anthias females from aquatic collection, because they didn’t have any alpha males, and sure enough one month later the dominate female changed color and became the alpha male. Amazing.

As a counter view I love clear spa check value with double unions so they are easy to remove if your need to. The advantage to check values is almost zero flow back into the sump. I have on both my tanks and love them. Not sure why you would need 24 hours to install one. An hour is more than...

I didn’t take pics of the event (sorry) but with Wills permission took some pictures of his main tank cuz he generously fragged some main colonies for the event: m.spongodes, copps calacali acro and Chili Pepper aka Christmas Tree montipora

Thanks Will for opening your house to this event, the food table and hospitality. As a new member to BAR I greatly appreciated the opportunity to put online handles to faces and talk tank talk and learn what people do as full time professions as well as hobbies. The number of frags far...
