I'm sorry but your tank contains too much AWSOMESAUCE to be considered a newbie tank. I call shenanigans!

.. Seriously tho, I want to hear more about this tank.

.....very nice tank

[Ryan-b]

Thanks .

I started up the tank about a year ago this time, I had a little 40g tank for about 6 months prior to this one transferred everything over and started adding corals in January. Most if not all the coral was purchased as frags so the growths been decent I guess, I'm not to happy with the colors so I will be switching to mh/t5 in the next month to see if I like it better.

So I have been doing the SW thing for about 1.5 years I still consider myself a noob.

Ps Kien some of the frags are from you

Cool! So tell us a little about your husbandry (dosing, additives, reactors, etc). Wait, do you have a build thread/journal?!

[Ryan-b]

I do a 30g water change every 2-4 weeks.

Dose calcium(420)/alk(8)/mag(1350) via a marine magic doser, not sure quantities as I adjust the timer as my levels fall, i go through a gallon jug every 2-3 weeks.

I run carbon/gfo in a TLF reactor. Change out the carbon once every month or 2, and the gfo when ever my po4 gets above .03

I dont add any additives, or run anything like pellets, or zeo.

I only skim 12hours a day as I find the skimmer to noisy during the day, I tried skimming 24/7 for a couple weeks and had a cyano out break, not sure if this had anything to do with it.

Besides that I just let it run as I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old so I dont have a ton of time to play with it quite as much as I would like, but maybe thats a good thing.

I do have a Journal but I dont really update it I have a coupel pics on there.
