Jonathan's Reefer250

[Jonathan Chia]

Been in the hobby for about 3 years now and I've gone through a Nuvo 20, Reefer 350, Nuvo 40, and have finally settled on the Reefer250 as the perfect sized tank for me.

Shout out to @Coral reefer for helping me move and setup the Reefer250. It's been up and running now for about 3 weeks, and I didn't lose any livestock from the transfer

Cool rock structures, glad you are liking the new tank!

I'm trying to fit maybe 2 more fish in there...but not sure if that's going to be overstocked

Thinking maybe a royal gamma and an anthia or 2 bangai cardinals

Lost one of my fairy wrasses due to bullying and gave away the bully fairy wrasse.

Added some different fish and I think we are at capacity in terms of fish.

Great start. Going to look awesome when those sticks start to grow out!

Got a top down viewer thing for Xmas so took some photos today

Haven’t tested my water for weeks now as I’m going off coral response. Been daily target feeding Red Sea AB+ as well which has helped my SPS color up

You prefer target over broadcast for the AB+? I've just started using it myself.

I’ve been target and broadcast. I target one ha;f of the tank a day and broadcast the other.

I see a better response from the acros when I direct feed so I try to do that if there’s time

First FTS of 2021

Got my first ICP test back and it looks like I have elevated levels of the below. Not sure what would be causing the levels, except maybe All 4 Reef elevating iodine and my corals aren't using it up
Tin at 6 µg/l
Lithium at 395 µg/l
Iodine at 220 µg/l

The remainder of my parameters seem to be in line, so not quite sure why some of the SPS are coloring well and some aren't.
