I moved it to the back of the aquarium away from everything else. Next time i feed it i will try and get pictures of it sweepers.

I did a search for vortech and mp10 in this thread and only found them in the first post. You say you run them at 100%? All the time? I assume you have night mode going at night. I think I might get Octo Pulse 2's and put each on a oscillating Sea Sweep. The Octo Pulse 2's are very comparable to mp10's but there's no motor on the outside of the tank and they can be tilted in 360 degrees.

I don't have them on night mode. I keep them both on reefcrest mode at 100% all day. It doesn't seem like they are putting that much flow out. I did buy them used. I think i will pickup one more mp10 and another light

Pretty messy cabinet

Oh no, my scolymia is eating a blue leg crab. What should I do? I love my scoly

Scoly is okay, only thing left with the crab is the shell the scoly spit out.

That is hilarious. Hermits can sometimes cause havoc, so it is funny to see them on the receiving end.

Small update, i decided i was going to place the JF Homewrecker where i put my Rainbow Stylo. In the process i decapitated one of my acros and i super glued it back together. Hopefully it will survive. I hate putting my hands in the tank, i can easily under estimate where a coral is and how fast i'm moving my hand.

 

[Savo]

Being new to reef keeping i thought my sunkist mushroom would grow as big as a frisbee as long as i didn't frag it. Well i was wrong, it split into two

 

[Savo]

Got a few more corals since the last update

• Everlasting Gobstopper Zoas
• TSA Fruity Pebbles
• PC Rainbow
• WWC Christmas Mirabilis
• TSA Smurfettes Zoas
• Green Bay Packers Zoas

I'm going to have to stop buying coral or i'm going to need another tank. I think its already too full

 

[Savo]

Updated pictures. I think i killed my miyagi. It started bleaching from the light. I decided i would cut it off the frag plug and put it in a new location. I accidentally got superglue all over it.

 

[Savo]

A quick update. The miyagi didn’t make it through the superglue

 

[tenurepro]

Looking good - sorry about the myagi

Corals are looking good. Are you having a lot of mineral uptake from your dosing? How much daily?

When i first started my tank i was dosing 75 ml a day. That slowly dropped down to 6 ml a day and now is 10 ml.

@Savo how's the algae reactor working?

 

[powers2001]

@Savo could you post a recent full tank shot? Last one was 5 months ago.
