210G MIXED REEF UPDATE #4

[@queencityreefs]

Looking great! Maybe some gonis?! 👏👌🙌

[@Semper.Reefing]

Thank you!! Man my friend had some beautiful gonis, so I’m definitely on the look out for some now

[@timjohnson3913]

I’ll second the Gonis

[@moereefer]

I would go monti caps I have some growing off the back class they plate out. Chalice is also awesome underrated if u ask me

[@Semper.Reefing]

Thank you for the feedback. I definitely want to do a plating monti maybe on either or both back corners. I just got a chalice today that I may put in the front middle. As long as it can handle 200+ PAR

Hey your mp40 wet side is rotating! Is it loose? Might want to check that out.

[@Semper.Reefing]

Yes it does rotate and I’m not quite sure what to do! I got it in a trade and it’s pretty old. Thinking about replacing it with another hygger I got on Amazon

[@Fish_Ventura]

@@Semper.Reefingyou can buy just the base,, with Teflon post and new o-ring. You have to call Ecotech and ask, they will give the part number, then u call BRS and order just the base part. $40. I PERSONALLY have a hot glue gun that I hit the MP with after cleaning. Keeps the guard from coming off and turning my MP into a fish-ninja-blender

[@Fish_Ventura]

Dude I want a copperband,, but I have 10 tangs that are food whores. I worry it’ll get out competed…

[@Semper.Reefing]

@@Fish_Ventura thanks for this! I assumed I would have to cough up the cash for a new dry side.

[@Semper.Reefing]

@@Fish_Ventura I was a little weary at first but happy to see it eating well and getting along with the other fish

[@Fish_Ventura]

Yo!

[@timjohnson3913]

To what do you attribute the great coralline algae growth? Looking for tips as I’m trying to get my coralline growth to take off.

[@Semper.Reefing]

After cycling this tank I added the pink and purple bottles of corraline spores from ARC reef. I do think it helped by introducing it. The main contributing factor is stability of Alk, Ca in my opinion.

@@Semper.Reefing Thanks; that makes sense. Sorry if you’ve shared elsewhere, but do you know what you keep Magnesium at?

[@Semper.Reefing]

@@timjohnson3913 no problem!! Happy to help. I usually aim to keep my magnesium around 1350-1400

[@4xeGuy]

I'll say a school of Anthias
