So I have been keeping a log for all my test results and I noticed my Alk was slowly declining, finally got the laptop out to boost it up a bit through profilux but realize I set the doser to the wrong plug....sigh:drinking: musta been a cloudy that day. Second screw up was the biopellet reactor, for the longest time I couldn't figure out why the flow was so damn slow, pellets are barely moving through it no matter how big of a pump I put on it, then one day, I was looking through my fish stuff and found the other next reef reactor and realize I mixed up the lids, one was 1/2 and the other is 5/8, needless to say you guys should see em tumbling now. Last retarded thing I did was after a late night dipping session, I grab the dipping cups turned around BOOM! snaps my stand cabinet door almost clean off. Wayne was sleeping on my couch, he jump up so fast like shots were fired it was almost comical.

Anyways, besides all of that, tank is doing pretty good.

Purchased these 2 items....yes I know, I am a sucker for gimmicks.

Truthfully both items work and they work well.

Algae clip

pro: slim design, easy to use, strong magnet, all day grazing pad for those sheep of the sea.
con: wasteful.

One thing I noticed is it takes the fishes a bit of time to realize that it's a food source. Not one fish even took a second look at that thing until I moved my existing algae clip right on top of it a few days later, but once they started to eat out of it performed exactly how it should. Personally, I give it a B+. It would have received an A if I didn't have to waste 1/3 of the nori sheet every change.

Auto Defroster.

pro: multiple usage, good to drop the food in and let it slowly release food. strong magnet.

con: DOES NOT WORK WITH EURO BRACE(for now). defrosting right into the tank (possible adding extra nutrient) single magnet, hard to position without putting your hand in the water.

I think this product is still great, once you set it in place and you don't have an eurobrace it's pretty much drop the frozen food and go. My defroster came in with a bit of excess glue on the bottom and took me a good pull to break it lose, very close to breaking it... of course the reason to take it apart is to clean and or use as a flake feeder without the cups.

All and all, I like both product, ****ty that the defroster didn't come with euro brace adapters but I think I can silicone some magnets on it and make it work. My suggestion is buy buy buy. I got mine at King ed pets as JL hasn't got them yet.

Happy to report my tank has reached the highest temperature ever at 31 degree Celsius, that's 86-87 for my non-metric friends. Surprisingly every thing looks great in the tank.

Alk is getting depleted at an alarming rate which means corals are growing. No complaints there.

Ick comes and goes but I still don't believe in quarantine tank. Again it boils down to what you have in your current tank to justify setting up a quarantine tank and if you do make sure it is big enough to support the livestock.

Fishes are all healthy and fat. Loving life!

Second last addition to the tank just before the Rhomboid, fat, healthy for 2-3 months, eating like a champ then boom, under the tunze pump. What the....cyanide caught? That's the only thing I can think of. Pretty Lame.

So....bryopsis...so many different kinds, Some say to raise your mag and some say to get lettuce nudies. Well, let me tell you that I have tried everything and IT'S NOT WORKING!

Now, I have taken out all the rocks and dipped them in peroxide and so far it looks promising, I got my fingers crossed and if this doesn't work then I'll be setting up a new tank to transfer everything over and re-set the dt.

Peroxide has worked well for me, just time consuming. I've removed rocks and basted and that did it long term. Just blasted some with yesterday's water change, slowly chipping away it it.

Thanks buddy, I have some really good friends in the hobby that constantly hooks me up with amazing corals. One in particular....even though I tell him I am jam packed he still shows up with something amazing every time....no name mentioned but he is the whitest Asian guy I know on the island...:mrgreen:

Don't blame your addiction on other people buddy lmao!
Sorry about the fish. Maybe it and the small orca you call an Achilles had a disagreement?
Your FTS doesn't do the tank justice. Last time I was there it looked like a completely different tank. Corals lightened up in color due to less nutrients in tank? Better flow from powerheads? Looking forward to seeing more progress.

I've given up on keeping Flashers & Fairy Wrasses just because they will jump and either carpet surf even with the glass lids (they aim for the spaces in between I'm sure) or they smack into the glass and knock themselves dead. Sorry to hear about your loss. It was a beauty. I'll have to pop in one day and check out the new tank. Looks great.

Made the mistake of adding a couple of sps into my tank and now I'm starting to check out other sps to add, like RR Red Dragon. Arrrg, this addiction is never ending. I've always liked the appropriateness of this Tank Journal's name:wink::twised:

I am glad I went with bare bottom, made things so much easier. how many times did you do that Brad before it is completely eliminated?

Did you use Tech M by Kent Marine?

Its not the magnesium that kills off bryopsis, it's a secret ingredient in the tech m recipe that seems to do it.

I used Tech M with several different range of mag level. I suspect it only works on certain types of bryopsis and not all.

I will snap a better full tank shot soon.

For the rocks I pulled and did it over the sink, first time. I have a couple rocks I did 6 months ago, still clean. I used 29% H2O2, don't get it on your hands! Or corals.

Just want to say that the peroxide dip has slowed down the growth of my (Dave's) bryopsis dramatically. I am seeing a slight glimpse of hope. Will continue to dose vinegar and peroxide to maintain water clarity and nutrient control.

For anyone that want a reference for the dosing regime, this is what I do...I am dosing 10 ml of peroxide 3% daily and 12ml of vinegar (recommended dosage is 1 ml per 10 gallons and monitor the tank to adjust dosage), of course this is working for me but might not work for you, so it's all subjective.

I've determined I'll never have a successful SPS tank and thats it... this means I'll enjoy others tanks that much more lol.

Don't give up Chris. It's pretty straight forward bro, all you need to do is to keep your calcium, alk and mag steady and the rest will follow.

Lot of other things do come into play of course but if you have stable parameter that's half the battle already. Zeo system works but only for guys with lot's of patience which I wouldn't even consider. Most of our tanks gets set up and it will be good for the first few months then it goes through some hard times and if you can maintain through them tough times you will eventually come out ahead. Hang in there bud!

For those of you think that your proven coral eating fish might be special and won't touch your corals as long as you keep them well fed is some what of a daydreamer, in my opinion. I have kept my Moorish idol and copper band for near a year and a half, both fish are healthy and fat. I have always known that I can't have any lps in the tank which I have learned to live with but not till just recently I have noticed some of the sps tips are getting "roughed up". Few nights ago, wife alarmed me to the Moorish eating some of the sps polyps, as I turned my head, it took 3 bites out of the Oregon tort. It's at that moment I realize as much as I love that fish I just love my Oregon tort tiny bit more. So I decided to sell or give both fish away, money wasn't a big object as long as my fishes are re-homed in a healthy and good size tank.

So, here is the last few pics of them in the bucket ready for their new adventures. BTW, just to share how I caught them in a sps fill tank with-in 10 minutes and more importantly without breaking anything was total darkness, I used my blue LED flash light by orphik (Thanks Hungie) and just sneaked up and netted them. I was amazed how easy it was!!! If you ever need to catch a fish in the tank, please give it a try.

Thanks.

I use a mix of all in one and vertex bio-pellets along with fozdown, healthy dose of rowa top it of with vinegar everyday.

I like to keep my po4 around 0.02-0.08 to keep corals at a more vibrant color. note that you will also need to keep a bit of no3 for a balance.

All your colours are really excellent. Would you elaborate on the vinegar and foz down? I'm intrigued by both. Manual or auto dose and how much how often? I like the look of all frags as much as colonies.

Nothing elaborate by any means but I do try to look at my corals and gauge how much or how less I need to dose. I think nothing is gonna tell you more than the health of the corals in tank.

140 gallons of water, I usually dose 10ml-15ml daily, 7-15 drops of foz-down in the filter sock also dosed daily. Rowaphos is used according to the BRS calculator and swap out 3-6 months depending on how the po4 is reacting.

All the dosing except for the big three is done manually but I think I will automate it very soon.

Hope this helps. Happy reefing!

Thanks Brian, I think in some way its funny how 7 years ago I went to Dennis and Tim's house and it was those guy's tanks that inspired me. Looking at their matured tanks in all it's glory really lay the ground works for my humble "success" and now it seem like it has come a full circle.

Was just there today. I see the tank at least once a month and I'm still surprised at his color and growth. His corals' color and growth that is. He's getting thin lol! I'm convinced that lots of fish has helped his corals' colors immensely.

Thanks. It's definitely not the easiest to keep Sps coral and retain vibrant color but hard work and dedication always pays off. Okay, I lied, it's all in the fish poop. Lol As far as equipment goes, they are the same reactors and skimmer from the 300 gallon.
