Nice setup! Love your figurine. Hahaha, it adds a unique touch to your tank. And the way you place your corals - acans worshipping the birdnest shrine? This is so funny and interesting. Is it going to be a permanent placement?

Thanks buddy! The intent is to possibly keep adding Acans around and surrounding the little Ponape birdnest island. Hopping the Ponape will grow more upwards so as not to shade the acans too much haha. But the Ponape will always be king. :)

I guess it really depends on what u gonna put in your refugium but my tanks is only 32 gallon so it's more than enough for me. I'm not putting sand. I'm just gonna have live rock rubble, chaeto and some mangrove. What's your tank size?

mines 4x2.5x2 :)

Best regards and Happy Reefing!

FTS 12.24.14 Front

A little unorganized now but I'll be moving things around depending on the growth rate of the corals. Had to get rid of a lot of big colonies I had and just kept mostly frags to populate this tank. I real want to see it grow out especially the strip of Zoa Island in the front. The right tall pillar will eventually be stocked with pointy SPS and it'll look like a Spike Club. biggrin.png Real gansta.

I love Ultra neon lime green and orange rhodactis. Really slow grower though.

This is a newly acquired piece. Aussie Gold Torch. I like how thick it looks compared to the regular torches.

A beautiful tank indeed. I lyk how the one kessil is sufficient enough to provide for the corals and at the same time give such beauty to the tank.

N kudos to ur scape.

Camping here to see the progress.

Happy Reefing ;)

Nothing much to update. Tank is going through some minor cyano outbreak. I'm doing longer lights out period to see if it goes away. Also got some SPS frags to mount on my tall pillar. And I finally got my Jebao dosing station set up!!! I've never really dose in my previous setups but i'm trying to go more SPS heavy with this tank. I'll be monitoring Alk, Cal and Mag for the coming weeks to see how much I should dose. I'll be using all ESV products. I've had good results in the past.

Same, love how easy and effective esv is. Just that with my tank volume, it's tough to keep up with esv dosing, so made the switch to cr.

Oh yeah Calcium reactors are definitely the way to go for big tanks. I have no space for one. haha.

My SPS Pillar is partially complete with lotsa frags. Can't wait for them to grow quick and outwards. Will probably have to relocate some of these guy at a later stage once they start touching. Or avoid growing into each other and create some sort of interesting shape. :yahoo:

A new super hot addition. A Red Spider Sponge. Heard this thing is super hard to keep. Had it for a week and its been doing pretty well. Polyps are all extending and fluffy. but the slightest touch or too much flow it shrinks and start to look leathery. Really interesting. Mine seems to like strong flow but not direct and lower light. Also needs constant feeding like 3 times a day. I'm gonna start feeding less to see how it does.

Yeah pre-made and super convenient. But costly $$$. haha. You dosing ESV Mag too?

I have since switched to CR which is even more super super convenient!! Less fluctuation of kh. I used to used food grade powder, magnesium chloride mixed with di water to replenish my mg levels.

When I upgrade to a big 100 gallon tank I will definitely go CR. Now I'll probably just dose 2 part and keep up with water change to replenish whatever gets depleted. What do you peeps in SG test your waters with? Now I'm using Red Sea test kits. But I jut purchases Salifert to try out and compare test results and take the average between the two brands as my reading.
