For those who are wondering the products that require a spoon come with their own spoon the measure on the spoon is .05ml and I did the math on the carbon on a 65 following the directions there is 200 weeks of carbon

Tank is looking great. My kids loved feeding time as well. A few times they though it was good to feed on there own. Lol that was a fun late night cleaning session.
I just checked out the aqua forest stuff at my LFS and it looks amazing. Can't wait to see how your tank does with it.

From what I can tell every product is about a years worth for my tank and I did the first batch of dosing last night one of my purple sps had developed teal tips in just one day

HAHA love the pic of your wife giving us the bird

that power blue tang is amazing love all tangs.but I think a 65 is a bit small for it. I would think about re-homing or trade in to the LFS for another fish. IMHO

Nice looking build, awesome that you got the family involved. What kind of speakers are those in the background? I've got all Paradigm, I believe they are made in your neck of the woods.

aaron86 · 07/15/2016, 04:08 PM

I honestly don't remember what they are anymore the covers broke years ago and they were the only markings on them I know they sound awesome though

Calcium levels have nearly fallen into place so I started dosing at 30ml a day alk is still high so I'm not dosing it yet vinegar is starting to show its worth in the skimmer and I did a little modding to the sump cover to add dosing ports

Looks good man. Nice addition to your tank. I need to grab a few like that to start with the sps journey. Lol how are you liking the marinecolor Doser?

aaronwitt · 09/18/2016, 08:54 PM

The tank's looking great, I'm excited to see how it looks once it's grown out a bit

The doser is ok I really struggle to keep bubbles at a minimum and if you change any of the measurement it has to be set beck to auto dose

So I'm sitting here waiting for my saltwater to mix and I thought to myself it's a good day for a Rum and Pepsi
