45 gallons Acros tank

Stunning tank. Wonderful eye candy

How did you get your sps stuck to the glass? I tried before and the glue doesn't gold for me. Also, do you target feed or just dose the tank?

I target feed them.
For this coral?

I mounted the whole frag (with frag's plug) to the glass by normal coral glue (I use bulk reef supply glue), it will encrust to the glass eventually. It is the table acro so I thought it will be cool when it hold off to the corner and form the table shape.[emoji39]

My monti also encrust to the bottom (glass) of the tank. So I assume coral can grow on glass! [emoji28]

Btw, I think I post to the wrong forum. Should I post it on the "Member's tank" forum? If so, can someone move it for me? Thanks in advance.

 

[Mr V]

I got this frag for a while. No name (Good, I can name it after myself[emoji1])
I moved it to new location due to being shaded by my rose milli. Hopefully the moving doesn't upset it. (Please don't turn back to brown [emoji51])

The body was amber red when I got it. Then it turns to brown, then all green. Now.....who knows what it will be, but I put high hope on this sucker![emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

I think the Nikon 18-55mm is not too bad. I can see some details here and there![emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

$500 Efflo : did someone actually paid $500 for the first frag? I only see a green acro

Wait, is it a red bug on my Hawskin? Can someone tell?[emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

That 18-55mm is pretty good. The corals look lovely. It does look like a Redbug on the Hawkins, but I've had them before and you should be seeing quite a few of then especially on the smooth skinned acros.

Nice flowing

I inspected very carefully after noticed this picture, but I couldn't any "bug" on this acro or the yellow carolina (smooth skinned acro). Hopefully it was just a dust on my lens!
In fact, I think my tank is infecting with aiptasia anemones. I can see they are spreading to new spots every day.

Bad result of running very high nutrient: ALGEA! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

Luckily, these turf algae is pretty easy to remove. They don't hold too strong, or maybe I'm stronger than them [emoji123] [emoji123] [emoji123]

 

[Mr V]

All the time I though I had a very high nutrient. I was wrong.

Here are the result today:
- Nitrate: 0.02ppm (Salifert)
- Phosphate: 0.02ppm (Hanna Phosphorus checker)

Feeding and water change as normal. I didn't make any change recently, and I won't plan to do anything to adjust those numbers. I will let everything runs normally as they should be.

Hats off to you, lovely tank and great camera skills.

Talk about good skimmer, I would give the Nyos Quantum a 9/10 point!
Although only running part time in my tank, it still pulls a lot of thick-dark skimate. Definitely one of the most important equipment that keep my tank thriving.

 

[Mr V]

I got a couple questions about my light schedule so I decide to upload my schedule here. Basically it is an AB's schedule with some modifications to suitable with my personal schedule. I use to stay up late so the light only completely off at 2 AM.

How do you deal with the water level when it turns on and off. Been wanting to try running mine part time too
