Nice Dan, is that the piece I got a frag of. That picture looks kind of like the aspera.

It's doing well. It looks like their is a bit too much light on the coral for the picture then. Try to underexpose the picture and go from there. Thanks again

You will probably have to ask Kenny as he is a Canon guy, but in the nikon, you shoot in full manual mode and you can see the exposure +/- in the viewfinder. Just scroll one way or the other.

Hey Dan,
Your tank looks fantastic! Question for you, how do you like the Korallin 1502 for CA Rx? I have the same one and have always had trouble getting it dialed in. Additionally, how do you like the Tunze/Vortech combo? I'm debating on going that route my self and wanted your .02. Thanks

I like the Tunze/Tortech combo because I think that their strengths complement each other. I love the flow and undertow from the Vortechs and I like being able to aim the Tunzes, the combo seems to work for me. Now if I could only keep the sand in place, I’d be happy. |

Since the last FTS, I have been busy changing the coral composition. When I initially started SPS I (almost) haphazardly purchased frags without a concept on how they would look together in the tank. This resulted in an overweighting of colors and species so with a much better idea, several were corals removed and replaced with new frags. Since I’ve grown everything from frags the decision of which to remove was harder than I anticipated. Plus it’s always fun to buy new stuff when you have real estate to fill.

You have Gotten rid of a lot of corals since the last time I came by it looks like, tank looks amazing as always though. Thanks for the help on those frags also, Cassidy has them all and I will hopefully be getting them in the next week or so. I missed out on the Blue Matrix while I was at work so I'm kind of frustrated about that one.

Dan, what setting do you keep your Vortech at? Im debating whether to keep mine at lagoon (purple) or reef crest (yellow).

Ok I got another 1502 question for you... what are you using for a feed pump for it? Are you using a luft pump or a small power head? I'm curious cause I always had to choke my feed pump down and could never get the effluent to come out slow enough to not jack up my alk.
Thanks

Currently I'm not using the reactor but when I had it on my previous tank I was using a Premium Maxi-jet 400 pump pictured here:
http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...s~vendor~.html I've also used a Rio 90 as well. Both pumps put out only 100 gph or so and I would choke them down but like I said, they were always real touchy and getting a "slow" drip rate was always a PITA! I was thinking of trying a luft pump to see if it can give me what I'm looking for, a slower drip rate.

Dave, you may want to go with the same pump that you had and use that orange ball valve that came with the reactor. In a few months your frags will grow into mini colonies and I didn’t see any clams in your tank but they really suck up calcium. You may need a slow drip now but shortly you’ll need a steady stream in your 150. If not maybe an Aqualifter?

Very nice Dan, Any females for him? I lost my two females after a couple weeks as the rosy scales was a little too aggressive for them
