Mo's 6ftx8ftx3ft SPS Reef Tank - Page 31

Thanks guys,

Aquaforest products have been really good for me.

I have 100L of Siporax in my sump for several years already, so I started dosing at half recommended, just to get the tank used to the products.

After a few weeks, things seemed OK, so I increased the doses.
At full dose, my iodine levels on d&d test kit were too high, so I now do half dose of iodine, which seems fine.

For the coral a,v,e,b I have now increased to full dose, but a and v are actually at 25% more.
This seems to keep the corals happy with no nuisance algae or slime build up.

T5 tubes were changed on my ATI Hybrids over Xmas.
I have 4blue+, 2 coral+,2 actinic.
I run mostly blue on the LEDs too about 30% max. A tinge of white. No red.

Cheers
Mo

Wow beautiful tank

jestronix · 05/01/2016, 06:26 AM

Any updates ?

Still running Aquaforest. The stags are getting too big and shading out their bases.
I think the one front left will topple soon. The one far back right fell over, but carried on growing on its side.
I moved part of the big green Abro in the middle of the tank. Some of it is front left. I put some new small colonies in where it was.

I will likely move out the big stag and the milk stylo, so I can add some new colonies to grow out...

The metal frame around which the aquarium was built. The frame to which glass was siliconed is this steal or aluminium?

adnan21 · 06/26/2016, 07:53 AM

Which metal is used to glue the glass together. I guess you painted it with special paint so there is no rust.
is it aluminium or steal?

Mo!!!!!

Stunning! Now cut it out with the silly single iPhone pic (I've seen the billboards I expect more!

)

This is an incredible tank, I'm looking forward to following along in the future

cubbyman60 · 09/18/2016, 10:47 PM

Awesome

biecacka · 09/19/2016, 09:44 PM

Mo, based on your above statement, I assume you are still using AF products. How often do you test and which kits do you use. What all products are you using of theirs? I am considering the line as well.
