Jackson's Custom 115G Cube Build

[TUSI]

Looks excellent as always. Wish my corals have extensions like yours

 

[Marek-S]

Looks good Rich
Just curious - Are you planing to keep your nitrates at 25 ppm ?

Zuska, those are various frags and chunks of my tenuis that I frag from. Most will be shipped out next week.

Thanks Duke.

Thanks Tusi, the pe seems to be best when my nitrates creep up (po4 relatively low).

thanks Marek, my no3 is 25ppm kind of by accident I started dosing Mecoral amino following directions. Well, this amino is very potent and shot up my nitrates. I prefer to keep my nitrate around 10ppm. IME when nitrates are 25-50ppm or more, SPS get brown fuzzy polyps masking colors.

Looking good like always
When you say you feed heavy., what does that persist of. How many cubes, Flakes etc a day? And around how many fish u have in tank
Thanks again

Awesome ! What are the smaller frags you have growing there on the branches :wink1:

Looking good as always Rich!!

Jcs, thanks. I feed the equivalent of 6 frozen cubes, sometimes a little more. It varies between LRS reef frenzy herbivore, pe mysis, and a little cyclopeeze once in a while. Dry feed consists of spirulina flakes, new era pellets, and spectrum pellets. Usually frozen feedings twice and dry food once. Occasionally I will feed live brine + black worms. If I see the fish getting too fat I will fast for a day or two.
This kind of feeding keeps my fish very healthy and gives them the ability to fight off disease. I don't QT my fish, I've introduced several fish with ick, but my other fish are never effected. This is for the last 10 years or so.

afernandez, good eye That a tyree PM and fox flame. I gave them prime real estate to grow out.

Vic, thanks buddy, too bad you aren't close but anymore

Very good choices

Hey Rich you and I are on the same boat when it comes to feeding our fish. My powder brown tang has had ick from the beginning but he's fat and strong. We have to keep the fish well fed and have good filtration to deal with the waste so that the corals can be happy.

 

[Bogie]

Wow beautiful tank.

 

[Francesco.mancini]

How is your tank doing? I must say while I was planning my new tank, my girlfriend and I had your's in mind. Your pictures don't do it justice.

New baby, time consuming business, overall lack of interest. Life stuff I guess :biggrin:
