Mike's Red Sea Reefer 525 XL build

[PanchoG]

And on a sad note, Fast Louie, my blue chromis and wife’s favorite fish passed away. He has been blind for quite a while.

I would spot feed him every day and he hung in there for a long time.

RIP Fast Louie

Sorry for your loss Mike.

@Peach02 here are the length and width of the overflow box. I hope this helps you!

Testing done.

Alk 8.4
Calcium 425
NO3 16
PO4 .13

Nutrients are creeping up slowly but I am not concerned.

Marine pure brick added this week and the algae reactor is starting to grow GHA.

The goal is still to be able to stop NoPox dosing.

Alk creeped up as well. I had increased dosing from 15 ml per day to 20 as I would always have to give it a little bump on testing days. So now I’m going to back off to 17 ml per day and see if it holds steady.

Also calcium in on a slow up tick with daily dosing now as well.

Tank looking good as always. I only was able to find 11 fish in the picture. The last few was hard to see. Always fun looking for fish in pictures.
Sorry for the loss but it sounds like he had a great life in your care.
