Emeraude's tank

[salvini55]

I would buy an MP40 if i were going for a wavemaker type pump. I think the Hydor one is ok. But for what its worth saving the cash and going with the MODDED Maxi jet 1200 is a safe bet

Excellent, I'll bring it up.

Finally have the protein skimmer up and running got a few ml overnight!!! Yes I am completely over-enthusiastic

Going to be dipping all the acro frags tonight, don't believe I see and bites or eggs but might as well test it out.

A little update,

Cyano still a small issue, bubbles are nowhere near as bad as they were and I"m still scrapping it off whenever I do water changes.

Iodine dipped all the corals, found no pests.  Acros are still looking rough but don't seem to be receeding since being fragged.  The pink birdnest is actually growing!   The green chalice extends feeders every night, the new orange one (added on friday)has yet to do so but had not receeded or bleached in any way.  The bubble added at the same time looks fantastic.

The mandy has doubled in size in 1.5mths that it's been there.  The bi-coloured blenny is bold enough to stick around the mated clown pair   We added a blue-sided wrasse on friday, seemed to be doing fine.  Eating mysis, swimming around and now we haven't seen him in over a day   The only thing that might have affected it is temp on Sunday as we couldn't turn on the air but NOTHING else was affected.

Parameters:nitrate 0.25 nitrite 0 ammonia 0 Phosphate 0 Cal 440 Alk 7.4 (this is the only one that I'm having an issue keeping steady!) Mag 1400

I used kalkwasser my alk & cal, mag seems stable now, I don't use a lot of mag 5 ml a week which is thrown in ato mix/w kalkwasser so it drips into my sump it last my 10g reservoir a week. I'm getting cyano but not much, water change weekly is the best to solve the cyano:).

I think I've finally figured out a dosing schedule for the time being.  Alk is 60mL/day Cal 30mL/day I'll test the alk daily and cal next week and change it accordingly.  Mag I'll test/dose once a week.

I'm leaning towards a calcium reactor when funds and space become available. kalkwasser was an option but I have no room for an ato

Made our DIY frozen food

Seafood Medley of mussels, squid, octopus, shrimp, added some selcon, garlic, nori, Mysis, Cyclopeeze, a few new era pellets.

The Fishies seem happy  The LPS go nuts within seconds and I've noticed actual PE in the acros! 

Next step is adding a screen top before adding any new fish.  How's this stocklist for a 90gal?

Current:
