Rice Reef's 120 SPS Reef Tank

[Rice Reef]

Summer has been good and the same can be said for coral growth in the tank and with growth at this rate I am not certain if dosing will be able to keep. Within the last four weeks I have noticed steady decline in Alk from 8 to 6.1. I've just made a fresh batch tonight and I will be increasing the Alk dosing rate to 24 x 24ml. Once I have used up my supply of Calcium Chloride I will be setting up the CA reactor.

So here is the FTS...



reflections...



random top down pics...






random frags on rack




A few up close and personal shots...











That's all for now... Thanks for looking and the next update will be in November.

Holee crap that's looking spectacular Wayne

What's it now, about 14 months since your AEFW reset ?

Are you seriously dosing over a half litre a day of Alk ????

I've just recalibrated the Alk. It's back up to 8 range. Will keep an eye on it and should be setting up the Ca Reactor soon. That should keep things steady.

Sounds about right, Greg! Time to weed a few out and then I'll be leaving it alone. ��
Don't know if I am dosing 1/2 litre per day but I am filling that 5 litre container but much sooner than before.

yeah, which is the wolverine? Not buying the Reef Raft hype anymore. I find the mariculture corals are not any different, a lot nicer and a lot less expensive. Anyways, I don't see many pics other than the stock Reef Raft pics and having a few I am not impressed. There should be a disclaimer saying that the coral may look different in low nutrient tanks etc... A lot of hype wanting to buy but then you don't hear anything else after...

Agreed Wayne. The RR pieces I see outside of their posts are less than impressive. Way nicer stuff available at way better prices. I would say in your tank alone, you have 40 pieces that are nicer than the RR pieces. We should see what some of them do under Radiums

May be I should wait for another 4-6 months to see how they react to the new lights first. To be fair I find the no name Reef raft pieces more exciting than the ones with the hype.... Seriously.... Ultimate crapmthis and that for $500... Not for me. Am I cheap in not wanting to spend the money, no. Those that know me and sponsored vendors know I will spend the money. I am just tired of bring suckered in with these colored saturated pics. You can see how mine have turned out in my journal and you be the judge. Again google the hyped pieces and you do not see any other than vendor reef raft related pics.
