Here is my 2 year old 37 gal mixed reef. I have re arranged it a bit since the FTS, but this is the best pic I have as it was taken with my friends 7.4 MP camera. I am having trouble getting good color representation out on my 3.4 MP camera, but an upgrade is not in the budget.

OK.......'

My 15gallon reef....no spectacular corals or anything, but sure has some nice color anyway.

I've had this tank setup since March of this year.

I have one HOB rated for 15gallons on it...nothing in it, I just tossed it on for water movement.
I have an oversized dual flourescent over this tank. I had one laying around from a 20long I took down. There are 2-50/50 bulbs in it for a total of only 40watts.
The only other equiptment besides the heater are two pumps from 2 useless intank whisper filters that I have hanging along the back for powerheads.

The only fish in this tank are a watchmen goby and a wheeler's goby.

I'll bet you allready have some.. They are really common. Just check the cracks in the rocks.

Awesome tank Victoria. Can you tell me what your are dosing the system and how much? We have similar water volumes and I'm just wondering.

Victoria · #16 11/13/2007, 05:39 PM

I dose both parts ESV alk and ca. With the large amount of coral I have I dose just under a gal of each a month. I have taked to many experts about the amount I use and most of them seem to think its normal. My alk runs 9.6, ca 425.
I stopped adding it once a day and started adding it every hour. That way I did not get the huge spike in ph. My dosing pump runs about 10 seconds once every hour 24/7. I also use my dosing pump for my top off. I do also add mag and keep it around 1450. I really don't add much more than that.
