I like the redesigned aquascape. How do you like using the calcium reactor instead of dosing?

Thanks man. Carlx vs dosing is 100% better. Best thing I find is you don't get any drops. If I get busy I don't check alK for a few weeks the biggest drop I get is maybe .6 dkh. With dosing i had 1.5 or more and then dont start me on making up 3 part!!!

And i only need to test alk, all others parameters stay in ratio.

^^^ one of the big advantages a lot of non reactor users overlook. Testing isnt a dreaded chore anymore.

A few bits added to the tank lately.

these 2 are local acro, didn't really want then but thought I'd give it a shot to see if they will colour up.

^^ that looks to have great potential, is it a latistella?

 

[Dlealrious]

Not 100% sure , it does look very similar

Nothing special but my eyes always get pulled towards it

Here are a couple pieces that just came out of quarantine. They aren't staying in display just temporary to see how they colour up.

Out with the old and in with the new. Picked up some more fresh colonies today too. I see some potential with a few. I also have a few temperate wilsoni im acclimatimh, these are cold water 22deg species

Here is a video of the tank a fellow reefer did when he visited

I didn't realise you were a fellow Aussie mate! Absolutely love Sam's work and your tank was no exception!

Things seem to have worked itself out now. I turned off trace elements start of last month to see if possibly that was the cause of some issues. So far no losses on new tenuis added to tank so maybe it was a bad batch of trace as icp numbers where fine. I am changing trace company also to coral essentials. Lost alot of colour though, will be interesting to see how colour comes back after I turn back on. Just goes to show trace does make a difference in a sps domnated tank.

Display is a mess, corals just sitting on blocks as there is no room in grow out tank

Wow! I love it, and hey, who says a mess can't look nice?

Don't know how I've missed this thread till now, boy you have some nice peices! You Aussie's have such access to nice size acro colonies, very envious. One of your "branches" is a major colony here and can sometimes cost a fortune. We have our pluses here but still not on par with you guys.

Beautiful ! all of it!
