We very much enjoyed our 5x2x2 ground level reef tank for quite some time. We as family felt it’s now time to upgrade our current set up due to space constraints and our urge to have deeper tank more room for fish and corals. Below is my old tank. The upgrade is not so significant, the new tank spec is L5xW2.5XH2 feet, yes 2.5 wide just half feet more, but it really matters if I want to go with sps dominant and have enough space for our carzy colonies of LPS and 30 odd fish Yes it’s not brand new, for it from a nice Reefer who decom his tank, and for my requirement the plumbing needs to be upgraded to improve the flow. It has TOP and Bottom braces, it may not look so aesthetically pleasing but helps for me for the kind of setup I have for my light and avoids water flowing over the glass and less maintenance. Over all it’s a great tank with high cabinet and ample space to work underneath and decent size sump with enough room. Sump size L4xw2xH 1.3 I will decom try current tank in Feb 2019, if anyone keen to buy the tank and the sump do let me know And now will keep you posted on all upgrades, lighting and over all set up. Wish this thread helps me to track my activity, correct my mistake and most importantly valuable feedbacks and inputs from fellow reefers, Cleaning time.. see ya guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so I had a Torch Coral head fall off today and is floating around. The main colony is doing fabulous and is much bigger then when purchased. I tend to not mess with things and am just letting him float around on the sand but now thinking I should try to place him somewhere where he doesn't float around. The colony did go through a sump change today and it went very well in fact took two hours max and everything was back up running. ALK - 9-10 dkh, Calcium - 600. PH - 8.1 And oh yes I know what you are going to say "Way to Much Calcium!" but what can I do? The city here dumps calcium in the water, even the local reef shops complain about it. The only thing I can think of is to do less water changes in hopes my corals and Crocea Clam use it up but then, well its less water changes. Not sure what to do about that. I test usually with two different kits to get the best idea of the levels as possible. I do not supplement calcium at all. Sometimes I will use Kalk to keep the levels stable and add Magnesium to the Auto Top off water. This seems to work great for the tank. I get lots of red and green coralline. My Montipora and Acropora is doing well and growing and both my fuzzy mushroom and green stripped mushroom have shrooms that left and are living and starting new colonies in the tank. Specs; 75 Gal, 20 gal long sump, Phosphate - 0, Nitrates - 0, Magnesium, 1280. I would appreciate any suggestions on the calcium levels and on what I should do with my floating Torch Coral.
