Carib Sea South Shore dry rock 40lbs. Used flat limestone for base and a couple Texas Holey rock. Used hydraulic cement to bond rocks together.
Diatom showed up right around Christmas and was pretty well cleared up Jan 5, 2023. It got really bad for a bit but what helped the most was cutting back on lighting an getting a lot of Halloween hermits and blue strip leg hermits. Also hit the rocks with a toothbrush.
Pretty interesting looking guys
Love your Aquascape
Put a bottle of purple helix coralline algae in today will update with results. Performed a 10% water change yesterday and all parameters are good.
I have a Red Sea 250 (not a Max) I put into commission on 3/30/22. Have been very pleased with my tank/reef so far. I utilized a pair of Red Sea Led90's for my lighting, a Red Sea 300 skimmer and added a homemade refugium 4 months ago. Recently removed the filter socks from sump....found that I really didn't need them.

Aquascape looks really good on your tank!!
Sounds like a nice setup, post a pic
Just tested silicates from RO supply water and (test is subjectable like all of them) shows about 1mg/l of silicates which from what I can tell is pretty normal.
Thanks! It’s a 6 bulb fixture but I’m only using 4 as I don’t need that much light right now. I would like to upgrade to LEDs eventually but need to do more research on them and figure out how to incorporate in hood as I’m a fan of hoods. Steve’s led conversions is a little much for me as it’s a retrofit.
all are ATI t5 39w
1x coral plus
1x actinic
2x blue plus
Anyone have recommendations on incorporating LEDs in the hood? Only heard of Steve’s LED conversion. What are y’all running in your max 250’s?
I'm sorry
Very nice!
