What size tank?

 

[Tonyscoots84]

what are you dosing or doing... anything special... :scratch:

 

[ssmtcarlo]

10hours 10k 12 hours actinic. Other than that 80 ml of b ionic every day, esv mag once a week. I used tap water as well for the last year. Just started using RODI a week ago. I definitely don't do anything special. 20 gal sump with fuge with chaeto and dsb. acua c remora skimmer. Also the fixture i use is a nova t5.

nice growth keep it up and you will fill your tank up quickly

 

[Tonyscoots84]

what are you feeding...

 

[ssmtcarlo]

whats feeding?

 

[jackson6745]

Nice tank ssmtcarlo. Definitely proof that you don't need halides. Water quality is key

 

[ssmtcarlo]

only fish are a six line and a green clown goby. Six line eats pods and goby picks at the coral polyps and eats pods as well have not fed the tank in about 2 months. every so often ill feed some mysis once a month tops.

 

[spykes]

that's the key. To have very limited amount of fish. maintaining good water parameter.

 

[reefman]

check out mings tank. he incorperates a similar method

i still prefer the shimmering effect MH has over a reef.

this is off topic but dave u keep saying everything is the key.... freaking choose one and keep it.. u change ur mind more then Ummmm a person that changes his mind often :lol2:

some say a low bioload and some say alot of fish for health of our corals... who the hell knows anymore... WHAT is key, i tell you what it is... its wat works for you and only you.... THATS THE KEY ...

but good job on the tank and nice growth for 2 months .... im impressed, which dont happen often ...
