My Tank!

[Frankie_Garcia]

I did it all by DIY! Easy stuff!

Your tank is great! It looks very mature, especially being only ~6/7 months old. The rockwork is amazing! It looks very natural

Haha it literally is all just placed on each other! I recently decided to spread out the corals more. So it's even all the way across.

Sounds like some good added benefits.

Water changes are way way easier as well.

Now that's a huge plus. Water changes can be a hassle some weeks.

Makes it seem that much more natural! How often do you add coral?

 

[Frankie_Garcia]

Haha I'm still trying to find ways to make mine more simple!

It honestly depends. I wanna say every other week? But I get corals that have 1 or 2 polyps. This is mostly a softy tank.

Softy tanks can look amazing! Hence, yours is amazing. That's a lot if new pickups.

We have 4 LFS, so I like to ravage at the bottom of the coral tanks and find small $5-$8 small colonies of zoas and palys and put them on plugs or small rocks.

 

[Macscale]

Great way to get corals at a good price.

Oh yeah another thing that has improved my water is protein skimmer,
Hydro slim skin nano skimmer, best $112 ever spent.

I go to all of them so they like me!

 

[Macscale]

Haha, maybe you can get some discounts from them!
I've been looking at the slim skin nano, for when I get some SPS for my 20. Nice to hear a good review!

 

[Frankie_Garcia]

Mine took about a month to break in and it's been great ever since!

And haha I wish where ya from?

Southwest Florida. About 30mins from siesta key, the #1. Beach in the world. Where you have to walk a mile just to find a spot to set up camp!

 

[Frankie_Garcia]

Haha I'm from the panhandle of Texas! Rolling hills and the famous Route 66

 

[Macscale]

Sounds nice! Like florida, until you get here, and meet my good friends traffic, and rain.

 

[Frankie_Garcia]

We don't have much traffic but the wind and dryness sucks!

 

[Macscale]

True, very true.
Now, we have to stay on-topic here though.
