Wonderful corals, Greg!
Are you still running your tank with the same principles shown on April 2010 TOTM?
(GFO,GAC no carbon dosing)

Thanks & yes to your questions. No carbon dosing and you just reminded me I need to change my GFO.

I have tried using various carbon dosing methods over the years & I like the results but I just don't have time to keep up with it so I don't bother. Since I did my "do over" in November/December 2013 I have been so busy I can't even keep up with weekly water changes.

Your 130g Holding tank is amazing! It makes my display look like a freshwater goldfish tank.

fraggin corals · 03/25/2014, 02:55 PM

Have to agree with the rest, those are absolutely beautiful tanks you have. If only my DT was half as nice as your holding tank.

PokyReef · 03/25/2014, 04:18 PM

Very nice shots!

Thanks for your remarks. One of the great things about this hobby is every reef is different and is generally a reflection of our own tastes. That said I continually look at other reefs and think - man I wish I could get mine to look that nice - if only I had one of those corals, etc. Long story short - the grass is always greener.

Thanks and as I stated above I think the same about a lot of the reefs I see. I plan to tweak the 130 when I get some time. The tank is part of the main system and until recently was a softy tank. I ended up with more sps than my display can handle so I added some LED lights and put the extra sps in there and just utilized the existing rock work. I need to revamp and create more 'shelf' areas for the sps.
