100G ReefPizza SPS tank (Heavy pic at some point)

[reefpizza]

8ish months here! After some bacterial problem (random rtn/stn) we finally have growth (from 8ml of kh to 40ml in 24h)
Here a picture of the tank (with the super cool fan of another r2r member) sorry for the algae on the glasses lol

As you can see there's a lot of little new things, everything is working great! (so i bought new corals)
I have installed also a KHG so extraordinary device, now life is way simpler.

Here a nice before/after the bacterial issue (nearly 30 days apart)

One of the survived corals shows pretty happy, also the rock have the right color and are super clean! (except for some gha spot, more later)

This is the MarineMagic scrubber, working flawless and i clen it every 2 weeks, i run it from 5pm to 7am (and i think i will make it run more in the next weeks)

About the gha problem i have decided to try the natural way and i bought some molly (giant sailfin and sailfin) we'll see in the next day how's go (found already one dead inside the traky mouth yeah, drip acclimatated in 4 hours )

And here the last pic for this update, family is getting bigger whit this australian shepherd, his name is Sirius.

Some quality pic update, the coral growth are going fast, here an idea i had for clean up easily the back glass, a 3mm foam pvc black sheet (yes it float a bit, i keep it on the glass with two Tunze magnet from power head)

Here the result in day time light (let me know what you think, i personally prefer the trasparent backgroud, it give more dept i don't know )

Here one of the coral that show the stage of the tank, finally the forest fire had become green (with some nice growth)

Here more blue shoot during the sunset

Here the GHA situation

Here a possible solution? i'll keep the topic updated

Love the tank. I prefer the transparent back round! How are you liking the flow from the two gyres and what settings are you running? Also, how is the shimmer from the kessil?

Thank you! I also prefer the transparent...
That are two 250xf and they are great! I have setted up the preset at 30% and is more than enough for sps! Pretty amazing stuff.

I have choose the kessil for the shimmer and a bit more blue to add to the philips, phenomenal fixture.

Done some "shopping" finally i can try this G5 blue hype

The Vectra is for the moving day, i'll install it in the new house... fingers crossed.

here the mount, diy with a 20x20 aluminium bar and some custom made 3d printed mount (i'll post it here)

The tank is doing great, let's see the new light what can do for my precious coral
Po4 a bit hight but i like it, also because i remove the algae scrubber for some mangrovia action!

I'm setting up a Kessil for the mangrove this is a temporary solution

Thank you! I'm using a pretty simple set-up for top down photos but it work!

 

[periocillin]

what settings for the g5?

 

[reefpizza]

what settings for the g5?

I'm using the wwc 1500g preset with just a bit more of white and cyan.

Now i have settled in 2x54w ATI Blue plus t5 so it become a hybrid and I have to turn down a bit the g5 power. 350ish on top 200 bottom glass

[periocillin]

how are you with the t5? I also thought of adding them.
i have the g5 pro
