Sharkey Posted May 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Thanks Guys. But its like Wasp said when you look at it every day you dont see the changes . Got a shock when I looked back at the old photos ,Chimera Always looking to frag. But will give that one a little more time to grow but its doing well wont take to long. Heres some info on the tank. For you guys that are like me and like the details Main Tank Width 31 hight 25 Depth 17 Gallons 57 Liters 216 Sump Width 26 hight 25 Depth 17 Gallons 38 Liters 144 Total 360 Liters 95 Gallons Lighting BLV 250 W 10000k Light Only NSW 5 inch DSB yes 5 inch ( Who says size dosnt matter?) Skimmer Red sea berlin protein skimmer Modified but in March moved to the Deltec camp Dont have calk Reactor so I dose daily Mg I use 0010 per day Ca I use 005 per Day Alk I use 05 Dkh aday or 0.17.5 Meq/Lper Day So I use only seachem . But in the future would like to try Mr farleys mix of reef central Alk Reef Builder 0.65 of a teaspoon a day Ca Reefcomplete 1.75 Caps a Day Mg 5tsp a day Worked this of the seachem web site. And it works note the high useage of Mg. Strange but it works retest and every things spot on . But found the tsp are flat not heaped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkey Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi Guys Good Question Wasp only two fish, clowns. And one large Starfish. Had a Mandarin but he got eaten by something starfish or the BTA ? I wont talk to much about the fish I have lost that could be depressing. But I will say I know about white spot, The need for a good overflow cover, The importance of a good lid and also the need to also cover the quarantine tank . Yes lots I want to give my fish the best environment I can so I believe I will get something small and only one more for my tank volume. I'm more of a coral nut than a fish nut so corals first. But I really want to try a new fish. A long nose hawk would be nice or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
