Finally!!! My tank on the rebound (lots of pics) UPDATED PICS!!!

lol. i know. actually only the top most pictures are new for this weekend. everything was in the tank since i have stabilized the tank.
that frag pack was too cheap to pass on. if i buy those online or even at lfs, i would be looking at more or less $600. i only paid for a fraction of that for the pack!

 

Are you running dosing pumps and an ato or ato w/ kalk?

 

i am running both. i have a weird set up.
my ato is connected directly to my r.o. unit and my kalk is dosed by my BM doser. i tried dosing my kal using my ato but it makes my parameter too high and i will not risk losing what i have started again. so i am just dosing around 1200ml/24hrs of kalk using my doser. the rest is my ato to replace evaporation.

 

Is it fair to ask where you got the frag pack from? IM me if you have a private seller. I'm interested. Those are super nice.

 

Your dosing is gonna shoot up! im excited for you!

 

Man that is a lot of great corals, some I would really like to have. The Strawberry lemonade almost looks like a tabling acorpora.

This one, 14. neon vermiculata is my favorite among the group. I love yellow acropora, they add a lot of nice contrast.

This will be another spectacular tank of yours.

 

most of these frags are from local reefers in the area and some from reefpets from ebay.
i could say i was at the right place at the right time.
one time i was checking out this korean girl at a local lfs (customer) looking at some sps and little that i know she was with the BF. i guess the Bf noticed me and started talking to me and i mentioned to him that my tank crashed and was looking at some frags to start my tank again. to make the story short he invited me to his place and offered me some frags from his tank and behold, his tank is sps dominant with all tyree stuff. he asked what i want and felt like a kid at a candy store. it didn'tcame to me how expensive these corals can be and never thought about how much he will charge me. he gave me a tri color, formosa stag, blue tip stag, pink lemonade, blue milli, neon birdsnest, purple capri, green slimer, superman monti and a pink sand dollar.
and these are more than 1" frags, looking at them made me think that he could easily charge me around $300 but was so surprised when he said " just give me a hundred for them".
it was so nice of him to share some of his prized corals and i am sure he knows that i was checking out his girl too

 

you are right about yellow acros. they do add a lot of color to the tank. but theneon vermiculata i have is GREEN, dunno how but hopefully it will change up color. i am also in the lookout for a yellow tenius.
the strawberry lemonade is a tabling and i have no space for tabling corals. i will grow it and maybe sell it to someone later on.

 

Yellow need two things to BE yellow. Very low PO4 (run posban/gfo/biopellets) and HIGH level light. So you just dose kalkwater no two part? See I'm trying to figure out the best dosing regimine for my tank before I get TOO many corals. I know right not my alk and CA are a little low. I am looking for a more betterer way to keep thing stable (primarily ALK since I've alk burned a number of corals in the past) I was thinking of running a dosing pump for kala off my PH prove through my controller, but that may or may not be a good idea.

 

How are you dosing 12ml/24hr Kalk? I've too been using kalk during my ATO but it's not consistent, and that's what thing I've been aiming for lately, is simple and consistent.

Is there a controller you're using to drip the Kalk? I was wondering if I could set up something for my Nano so dose kalk, and to dose my part a & b daily so that if I leave town, my parameters won't get thrown off by not dosing for a few days when i usually dose small amounts daily(3ml Kent A & B)
