Probably need to move the SPS soon Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted April 15, 2017 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2017 This post is all about crabs. Got some Emerald Crabs from CF recently Got some males : And females : This emerald crab thought they were acro crabs & climbed into the SPS. Its been there ever since. The rest of the emerald crabs went straight for the pest algae on the rocks. Hard working chaps. This is a 'real' acro crab 1 Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do note that my settings are on the 'bright' side with the intensity set quite high. So do acclimatize by making small increments over several weeks.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted April 18, 2017 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2017 The system has 2 reactors filled with Seachem Denitrate media. Water passes through them in series. Flow rate is about 2 drops / second. Managed to take a reading comparing tank water vs reactor effluent after one of my recent travel where the tank wasn't well maintained. Tank nitrate = 2ppm. Sechem Denitrate reactor output = 0.2ppm. (Its nice to be able to measure the difference) The denitrator helps but probably won't make a big difference for tanks with large volumes since the output is a slow drip. But i'm quite sure its quite meaningful for smaller systems. Quote Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/mysliceofnature/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted April 18, 2017 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted April 18, 2017 CR media usage rate ; Last topped up 24th Feb 17. Its now ~7.5 weeks (53 days). Level dropped about 6.5cm in the main reactor. And about 1cm in the secondary chamber Current parameter levels : KH 8.3 Potassium : 390 (topped up to 400) Strontium : 16 Ca : 380 (topped up to 420 with Calcium Chloride) Mg : 1350 Nitrate: 0.5 Phosphate : 0.02 Made a cheat sheet for my tank (top left table) to have on hand in case major parameters needed to be adjusted manually.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 4, 2017 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2017 A small attempt to draw fresher air for the skimmer to better aerate the system water. Attached a long hose from the window to the skimmer. Conceptually, this means the skimmer draws 'fresher' air than using air from the sump/cabinet. Did NOT notice a change in tank pH though, so i think its an unnecessary thing to do.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 7, 2017 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2017 I had 2 holes drilled in the return pipe as a siphon break. But the GSP grew over the holes & the siphon break does not work anymore (sump water level is 1" from the edge if the return pump switches off....quite risky if more equipment is added into the sump...risk of overflowing Now I've drilled a new hole above the water line with a luer fitting.

SRC Supporter SubzeroLT Posted May 7, 2017 Author SRC Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2017 Found some old photos...decided to post some growth comparison pics. Candy Cane.
