whoever said you cant keep sps in a high nutrient system without everything losing color never seen how my tank works lol all my sps have better color then they did when i got them and they are all showing signs of growth plus lots of PE..... i guess the trick is to add lots of nutrients but at the same time be able to export the same amount.

my goal is to keep food in the water 24/7 and keep water parameters stable.....so far so good heheh

alos im getting alot of natural growth i didnt get in any other tanks before, like sponges for instance....sponges are growing all over the place right under the halides.

i guess the heavy phyto feedings are doing that


good times for sure!!

so far the tank is looking great and is loving the leds , no bleaching or getting blasted.

my lights at peak are 45% and as low as 12% in the night.


also i have decided since a friend of mine needs a tank fast as his broke hes going to take my cube so with that said i need a new tank now soooo....


ive decided to upgrade a bit the new tank will be the same dimensions but this time im going polished with starfire front and one piece euro brace.....yes i know i know lol . will be a month or more before it can be ready so ill just have to love my small tank a bit more for a while lol

Was nice meeting you Denny thanks for the frags. The bonzai is jam-packed with awesome little treasures.

As a cat guy it's strange to type these words but your dog is so damn cool lol.
