Welcome! I'll be keeping track of changes, tests, overall health and progress here. I'll try to update coral progress with pictures to more easily see growth in corals.
System specs:
55gal display with 55gal sump utilizing about 40g at normal operating levels. There is currently a 10g frag tank hooked to the system that will be upgraded to 20g in the future. Both tanks are drained via hob overflows into a single filter sock. 3chambers in the sump are planned for skimmer, bubble trap, refug/settling area then a return chamber. A single pump currently pumps water from the sump to DT and a full siphon is used from DT to frag. Lighting is DIY with 20 450nm and 10 cool white on 3 drivers. Actnics are at 80% and whites at 70%
Channel 1- 2pm-3am
Channel 2- 4pm-1am
Channel 3- 3pm-2am
Return pump runs about 200gph, there is a pump at the bottom rear right blowing along the glass to the left, and two powerheads on the left side blowing right. This creates a high flow on the right and low flow on the left.
650gph ph and 400gph pump on all day except for 12-2pm
1200gph ph on at 2-215pm, 6-630pm, 12am-1230am, 2am-230am and 8-830am
Livestock
Melarnus fairy wrasse
Coral beauty
Yellow tang
Wrasse is always visibly fat
Coral beauty was received with fin rot which has receded
Yellow tang was received very thin with growth on right fin and rear fin. Has gotten a little fatter but growths remain. In a week if no improvement may look into medication
Coral
Several frags of zoa's, paly & one protopaly
Torch
Frogspawn
Trumpet
Montipora
Kenya tree
3 mushrooms
2 green sponge
The only thing to show growth is the paly's however system has just been finalized and I expect to start seeing growth
Last test was sept 29th with 20-30 ppm nitrate
