That glow your corals are throwing under the blue lighting is unreal! The mix of softies and LPS with those open polyps really gives it a lively vibe like a true mini reefscape.

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

This is when I set it up on the 5th of September check the date ha Im not sure.. I’m just loving every minute ha I’d live in there if I could πŸ˜‚

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

wow! i have a 125 and i just can't seem to make the few corals i have thrive. what kind of flow do you have? i just have s protein skimmer. nothing fancy.

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

I don’t run anything fancy either. I have a cheap wave maker that’s all , the return and internal filter is enough flow. I would like more flow on my torches but struggling without causing the gonis to whip πŸ˜•

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

well whatever you are doing is working! your tank is magnificent πŸͺΈπŸ 

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

Iv only started dosing 1ml of AFR 3 times a week it’s all it needs ha My weekly 20% WC is enough to keep everything balanced

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

do you get it online?

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

200L - 50gallon

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

Yeah it’s around years , it’s great for keeping a tank stable but it’s more targeted at smaller tanks under 50gal but anyone can use it. It came with my old tank and it was full so il use it up . I will be buying it again though. Get the powder form ( one on the left ) and make it yourself like I do , it will last you forever.

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

ahhhhh i see! i think i might try it! is it hard to use?

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

No there’s a scoop to make your own inside can’t remember the measurements now but it’s very straightforward

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

thank you!!!

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d

thank you for your help! i will buy it! ☺️πŸͺΈπŸ 

User Avatar @OceanReef 57d

User Avatar @hendrietta 57d
