Flippers reef 125 gallon

[Flippers4pups]

Now that is pretty! Nice work!

How long has this been similar, but not yet grown so lush?

Seems that since I started my refugium last year, it's took off even more. All parameters have stayed pretty much the same. Still around 30-40ppm N03 and close to 0.10 P04. Refugium's with macro algaes, in my case chaetomorpha, really don't do all that good at reducing those numbers.

All I can think of is a bump in PH stability from reverse lighting. Still using the same amount of kalkwasser in the ATO. Alkalinity stays very stable at 9.3 DKH. I take out around a gallon of chaetomorpha a month out of around 5 gallons total.

Nothing dosed, except the kalk and a thumb nails worth of LRS reef frenzy broadcast a day for fish and coral.

Overall, tank is very stable.

I think you post these pictures just to remind the rest of us that we are mere reefing mortals.

And so it will be! I give you the "secret sauce" of reefing! Now go and grow some corals!

Awesome pics bro... Love the gsp & mandarin pic that's prioceless. What's the pink/purple coral? is that goniopora? I'm not sure that i spelled that right but the next picture under the mandarin is the one i'm asking about...

Thanks

Makes sense now that you told me what it was LOL... My gonioporas are super tiny at the moment i'm hoping that they eventually get bigger...

Forgot to attach the picture

I’m going to test the tank again later to see what the heck going on with my zoas!

Red bugs have been taken cared of by the newly acquired 6-line wrasse. That thing is a beast lol
