  • dtum - Thank you. I like yours a lot as well. If only there would be a way to speed up the growth of those corals.. Still a long way to go for me.
  • scottishreefer - I have recently been looking at the Triton Method which a few reefers in the UK are using with great results. It has only recently been introduced here but has been popular in Germany for a couple of years. There are a lot of sceptics regarding this method but it certainly appears to be working for those using it. Coral colours and growth rates are amazing. I am tempted to give it a try.
  • dtum - So neat! I'll read up on it, thank you.

  • How do you like Bubble Magus BM-T01 Dosing Pump? I trying to get set up for a week vacation in two months. Have a ATO waiting for me to set up, but kinda stuck on my chemicals. Using the whole vitro line of adds. But reading most post might be just a waist of money.

Performed major rescaping - all of the corals are now glued. I must admit, things are looking pretty good.
I've discovered a very interesting thing about the frogspawn - half of it was the same bleak color, but the other half that was shielded from the light was looking extremely vibrant. I was actually su
Performed a thorough cleaning of the sump refugium area.
Changed the plumbing for the return pipe into refugium area and now getting a lot more flow there.
Kept 1/3 of chaeto.
Glued some of the corals and did some minor re-scaping. Both tangs are coming on Wednesday, can hardly wait.
Just added Reef Booster by ProdiBio and my tank is now super cloudy. Ouch. Wonder what it will look like in the morning. Those corals better be happy.
Just found out that a yellow tang and a blue tang were ordered for me and are being put into quarantine. Good, let the waiting begin.
