I run a DOS dosing pump on apex with fully saturated kalk. 1425 ml per day. I adjust the ml with the seasons and keep it pretty close to 35-36 ppt.
That's awesome! This winter I'm going to be setting up top off with a dosing pump too!

Looking forward to continued updates!

You have an immense amount of coral in this little system. Very nice. How has it been keeping up with nutrients, in a smaller system so full of coral. Curious where your NO3 and PO4 are at. Do you supplement anything other than the Kalk? First time on the thread, so feel free to point out if you have already covered all of that. I'm usually not into zoo/paly , but your colonies look really full and colorful. Every coral seems to be well placed. What are you feeding the dragonet? Must be on prepared foods, in such a small system. Everything looks great. Looking forward to future posts.

This is a truely awesome tank! Maybe the most jampacked SPS nano I’ve ever seen. Kudos for being able to pull this off in a smaller system, this is not easy. Also great photos, how are you taking them?

I have a 2 month old Cade 500 which is 38g so this is great inspiration for what I can do with it.

If you have time one of these days I’m sure a lot of us would be interested in a build summary of all your equipment, livestock, and maintence routines. I certainly would!

Appreciate the compliment. Thank you.

Nutrients aren’t a problem. I feed a lot. NO3 between 10-20 PO4 .05-.2. I do weekly water changes 25-30%. Don’t run a skimmer.

i dose three part on DOS.

i buy 10k pods every 6 weeks for the dragonet. Unfortunately it will only eat pods. I have a fuge in the second chamber in the back.

Thanks so much for the positive feedback. much appreciated.

im using my iPhone 12 with filters so everything doesn’t look blue.

my build summary should be the first 2-3 pages that has all my equipment.

I actually just did a build summary a little while back for Reef Builders. Let me find it.


you will have a lot of fun with your Cade
