Ive had my tank for around 4 months now and want to share some of my progress with my tank within that time frame. Ive bought on sold on this site so some of you know me but hopefully a few more with my build. So feel free to ask questions and make this build post fun =)))

This was after my tank was first filled


After messing with the rock work a little later.


Kept stacking this pic was after like two months of having my tank running.

So now to filtration I had the tank drilled after hearing horror stories of the siphon type overflow boxes. I built my own little 10 gall sump/ refug and it turned out great for the first one I built.

After I got it first put together.

Nice. I like how you have your sump set up. I am doing a 10 gal. sump too and it can be kind of crammed so I like to see how other people are doing it.

Also, I don't know if I missed it, but how many gallons is your display?

Rock crab. I would catch him and get rid of him. I had one and he moved frags around. Catch him with a small glass jar and raw shrimp.

I never caught a glimpse of the crab just the molt, haven't saw a molt for a couple months. Are they real secretive?

So I decided to start dosing vinegar to my tank. Ive been dosing for about a week. Haven't really noticed a difference but my dose is still very low. Any one in the club dosing? I would love a little input. How long have you been doing it? Did you get good results doing it? I haven't really heard to much of people doing it on this forum. So lets hear it if you are. =)))

How much research have you done on vinegar dosing? And what was your reason for starting it?

Ive been reading about it since I first started up my tank. But been researching it very heavy for the last 3 months. My reasoning behind dosing is mainly for color on my sps. And to be able to feed more. Ive been getting great growth on my SPS, but haven't had the color that ive wanted. The frags go into my tank and look great for a week but they brown out. Recently ive had a little cyno out break on my sand but I beat that to start getting brown hair algae. Phosphates show up at 0 but im sure its a false reading because im getting good growth from my cheato. So the color issue im thinking is due to phosphates. I could be wrong in my reasoning, what do you think? You have a great tank and some advice would be great. =)

Seems like you know about the vinegar dosing already but IMHO it will not be an instant cure for your brown sps. That could be caused by a number of things like the coral itself, flow, lighting, etc. My guess is that its probably cause by phosphates. What kind of LED lighting do you have. Many of the more budget LED fixtures seem to be made poorly and SPS don't do well under them. If yours is a proven fixture then I would look into phosphates. Have you tried using a phosphate remover like Phosguard or GFO? Also what kinds of sps are these and where are you getting them from? Lastly, what are you doing already to limit phosphates (water changes, feeding habits, etc.?)

IME, brown sps corals can take FOREVER to color back up. I had some browned out corals from my tank move like 2 months ago that are still slowly coloring up. 


Posted By: Dionysus
Date Posted: June 25 2012 at 12:47am
I have the led fixture from RocknReef. Im doing five gallon water changes once a week. For flow for my tank I have 3 500 gph, 1 700 and a 95 gph power heads. The only phosphate removing media is chemipure elite and Seachem sea gel. Sps list is Rose Milli, Garf Bonsai, Ora Redplanet, Birds of paradise, Ora green birds nest, Purple Birdsnest, Nuke green Hydrophora, Purple Tip Acro, Red Digi, Green Slimer, Teal Acro, Green Branching Monti Blueberry something, And im sure im missing some. For feeding I feed every other day. I rotate between pellets and mysis. For the mysis I rinse really well before feeding. Ive been looking into running GFO on my tank and Im in the process of looking into a reactor. I also only Top off with Ro water.

My Sps is slowly coloring up so ill get picks once they look a little better. I was talking to Rusty and he said you had a G3 skimmer on your tank. How did it work? Was it to big to pull stuff out?

The ASM G3 was awesome and pulled out tons of gunk especially after doing the mesh mod on the pump's impeller. If you're not familiar with mesh mods, its inserting a mesh piece into your skimmer pump wheel so that it breaks up the air into SUPER fine bubbles resulting in more skimmate. Only reason I got rid of it was because I upgraded skimmers. You should see the monster skimmer I have now. To answer your question, there's no such thing as a skimmer "too big" for an sps tank in my opinion, especially if you are carbon dosing.  
 
Here's my old ASM g3 in action...


Posted By: Dionysus
Date Posted: July 07 2012 at 11:59am
I have the mini g on my tank and its working great. I might just have to mesh mod it and see if there is any improvement. Does the mod shorten the life of the pump? What skimmer are you running now, and on how much volume?

I would definitely recommend the mesh mod. I'd be happy to help you. I have some extra Enkemat which is the best and recommended mash for the job. And the mod shouldn't shorten any pump's life because there isn't supposed to be any friction if you do it right.
 
I'm currently running the Reef Octupus Extreme 300 skimmer. It runs on 2 Sicce PSK2500 pumps that are incredible. Its rated for 425g on a normal bioload and I think i have 125g of total water volume.

I only think that it might be nutrients because every nice sps tanks that I see are heavily stocked. And there Sps are all colored up.

Yeah I got a tour. They showed me tanks they were working on for people and everything. They also have tons of huge parrots that were beautiful. One even took a bite out of a person ear that worked there and pierced his ear.

How long have you been running only LEDs on the corals?  Have you noticed any change in color in any of the corals (ie fading)?  Have you lost the color red in your corals (I've read several articles that claim that you completely loose the color red with LED lights -- it fades to an orange or tan).

Theres a pic for you Billy, terrible pic and its a couple months old a lot more pink now.

Molly the coral faded as they got used to the light but the colors are coming back now. I have keds reds that have great color. Also a red chalice that's way bright red also. The only thing that's red with not so great color is the Digi but its starting to color up even more now that I have params stable.
