I think I liked your flippy mesh lid better.

plyle02 · 03/18/2018, 07:51 AM

Looking good Dom,
Question is, netting to keep fish in, or kitty out, LOL

I can see the vision coming alive, it will be good to see the final additions unfold. Cheers

What did you end up getting?? Also, I'm going to keep pestering you but make sure you get Vibrance+, Chroma+ and Energy+ haha they will blow your mind!

Wrangy · 03/21/2018, 07:25 PM

So I was lazy a couple of days over the weekend and didn't dose any CE products and my alk was sitting at 8, after a single round of dosing a day later my alk was 7.6 lol it's definitely doing the tank good! And that's without the Juice lol

biggles · 03/21/2018, 11:21 PM

reefmutt · 03/22/2018, 05:27 AM

I sure did! lol I wanted to buy a fish as well, a dottyback lol, but I was a little over budget with the juice and acro's

Have a look at the tissue on the centre growth tips!! Loving the mottled look!

Thanks Alex!! Yeah, I finally feel like the tank is on the right path with the right things happening as well!

Wrangy · 03/25/2018, 03:30 PM

Some shots of the tank just before the special sauce dosing began!

Also finally had the chance to do some gardening! Purchased a small jalapeno plant the other day (on an 90F day hence the wilted look) and I've got my garden ready for the arrival of more chilli seeds! Poblano, Trinidad Chocolate Scorpions and the infamous Carolina Reaper!!

reefmutt · 03/26/2018, 07:11 AM

Nice looking reef!
.. sorry looking pepper plant!
Better than the other way around...

Pife · 03/26/2018, 10:45 PM

Nice job Dom. Thanks for the pictures. I'm excited to see what the juice does.

haha thanks Matt, the poor thing copped such a beating from the Garden Show in Melbourne and being out in the heat! I've trimmed it right back so it can focus a little more on repair and get a little bushier too

Me too! I'm closely monitoring the alk waiting for it to start going down so I can adjust and keep it steady! I think I need to change a few bulbs though lol

Dom,
I hope you don't mind that I suggest you something: scratch the coraline from backpanel.
The black background will make your fishes and corals colors pop.
And the contour of your rock structure will show of too.
Regards
Alex

Rakie · 03/31/2018, 05:21 AM

I think you're ready for a bigger tank

FloformAustria · 04/02/2018, 05:36 AM

A lot of work that will pay off!

PS.: You have a great group of fishes...

Rakie · 04/03/2018, 12:27 AM

Scraping the coralline off the back wall isn't that bad.

Go to the hardware store and buy a paint scraper, use it once and toss it. You only really need to scrape the back wall like twice a year.
