Corals and Fish









Sump and Reactor

looks good, are you going to rust that reflector for your fuge? It looks as if it would make contact with SW.

Thanks, and no its like 4 or 5 inches above the highest point water will go, plus the reflector is aluminum so it wont rust

nice

"nice" Thats it??? haha

Ok took some cool underwater pics of my tank

is the second one the cap you got from the club raffle?

It certainly looks like it. that coral is a weed!!

Yep it grows way too fast!

What do you do to keep your levels in check? water change, dose? do you dose anything?

I run gfo and carbon in a next reef reactor for about a month to a month and a half and I dose kent reef code A and B 2-3 mill every other day. As for water changes I havent done one since I wanna say march? I dont like to do water changes too often because If I get off schedule it seems like algea just goes crazy and my corals start to lose color.

Ok so my parents just ordered a JBJ ATO for me!!!!

haha cool

Yea thats right helfrichi fire fish!

Sweet! Thats on my fish list too!

Took some pics of my zoa garden!

your pictures taking abilities are getting better!!

Thanks its the new camera
