Nice one, Juan! Have you transferred livestocks to the new tank yet?

Just a quick update and couple of pics of some of the corals in the Red Sea. Things seem to be doing great thus far. Setup the doser and parameters seem to be stable for the most part. Have been slowly increasing the PAR and the tank seems to like it.

Well the tank is coming up on being a year old. Decided to break down get a ATI water test just to see how things are looking. For the most part the tank has been doing great.

Well had a tank crash a couple months after my last post. Got a bit complacent and things went to H-E-double hockey sticks. Had a temp probe that malfunctioned. Probe was reading 78 when it actuality water temp was 10 degrees lower. Heaters never kicked in. Also didn’t check the output of my rodi. TDS was about 5 before I finally changed all the filters. I think a combination of these two things caused my crash. Lost a lot of my sticks. You live and learn. Well here it is about two years later. Tank is doing great again. Running out of room and want more sticks.

Dang sorry to hear it. Yeah realibility on technology can be a blessing and a curse. Tank looks great now though for sure. I too have the acro/SPS bug and am quickly running out of room. Now living out of frag racks for the moment and to make it worse I just bought a 10 acro pack of Reef2reef ha ha.

Thanks man. I hear you. I've been fighting the temptation to buy some of your sticks since your right up the road. Gone a have to stop by one of these days once I clear up some room in the tank. I have a couple frags that have encrusted on the frag rack. lol
