40 re build

[anthony27]

yeah esp when the rock work is like ours. We have massive room

Testing...

Rodi water zero ppm

Tank water
Salt ocianic
alk 10.2
mag 1400
cal 490
Ppm zeor

Temp: constant 78 to 80

Water change- 5 gals either sunday or thursday
salt level is 1.026

I have some cyano on the sand and some on the rocks not like before.

I have cleaned up most of the sand and let the fish take care of the rest.
I am ordering 10 hermit crabs to clean up the rest.


Around the tank:

I have found that my coral banded shrimp molted for the first time and he is doing great, I am teaching him to hand feed. I alos have my little clowns that are hand feeding as well.

Dosing:
I have stoped dosing every day the mb7 and biofule because I have sporuts of cyano on the sand. I am going to now dose 3ml once a week and dose 2 ml of the restore every other day.
I am still doing once cap full of alk and cal every other day to keep up the levels.

Add on:

I added a filter sock and I must say less ditritus in the sump and going into the system.

I have now started to change out carbon every week on sundays. Carbon wears out after a while of bein gin the system and releases organics in teh water so swapping out carbon will be good for the tank.

Future:

New filter socks
New Impeller for the mag
re do of the plumming
clean up crew.

nice polyp extension!

 

[anthony27]

yeah nice but cpraay picks

 

[CONSTANTNE]

I agree polyp extension is great and tank is looking cleaner with every update. Is the back of your tank painted?

Scraping all the coralline from the back of my tank made a huge difference for me.

 

[anthony27]

no just cleaned up the back not painted

 

[anthony27]

I do not know why but I always have excelent polpy extentions and all the coral become very opened at night which is ten times more extentions then what you see in these so called pictures.
