PhaneSoul's tracker

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
