My 40 breeder reef tank

[bgmann12]

Does anyone have any suggestions on calcium and alk dosing products that are easy and not very time consuming to mix and such? Thanks

I like BRS' stuff...but I'm not really sure why you would need to be dosing your tank.

 

[bgmann12]

Everything is a little low and soon I'm going to start getting more corals that will need the stuff. Thanks!

I got some nice mushrooms today for $14.99 the pictures don't show the red very well

I'm going to get some more coral tomorrow. Going to look for some scans and a few LPS frags.

Acclimating a red acan coral right now. First LPS!

 

[bgmann12]

Is this a good spot for the frag or does it need to be moved? Thanks. (It is circled in black)

 

[bgmann12]

The new acan frag.

I personally would put it on the right side not directly under the light. Depends on light intensity you have that Tao at too I guess

 

[bgmann12]

I have it at the lowest setting white and 45% blue

Couldn't help but pick up this pagoda cup coral!

How long does it usually take for a torch frag to open after being put in a new tank?

 

[nanoreefz]

Depends on it getting acclimated to the tank. I've had some open up in the middle of dripping it and it's open when I put it in the tank. How long has it been?

It is open to about 3/4of a centimeter now but the coral is only the size of a dime.

Frogspawn is doing well and got a yellow watchman goby today.
