Welcome to this Sister Thread.....
The main thread link is below, and it's All about my 110 G (SPS Only) Display Tank,
where I'm at the point of SPS success, after years of struggle.
Project-genesis-II-2020--re-engineered-reboot-sps-110g
I'm giving up on having an SPS Frag Tank....I'll explain why.
- The first reason is I need to give my SPS DT much more attention since things are going very, VERY well.
- The 2nd reason is this 35 Gallon Frag Tank is killing any SPS I put in it (just like the DT used to be, but much faster)
- And the best reason, is I'm going to have some fun doing something else with the Frag Tank (ANYTHING Except SPS)
ABOUT THE 35 Gal FRAG TANK SETUP (Has 3 Fish: 2 Picasso Clown and a Copperband Butterfly)
Picture is worth a thousand words. And here was the original Build a few years ago.
It has no skimmer, and runs off that built in Sump filtration box.
I actually turned that Filtration box into Algae scrubber. (I'll show that later)
The Frag Tank IS NOT HOOKED UP into my 110 G SPS only Display Tank. It's physically not possible to do.
It runs off a Water Changer (but doesn't get new Salt Water)......
And the Frag Tank actually sits on top of my very OLD 65 Gallon DT, which is the New Salt Water Reservoir.
TONIGHT I made that decision to STOP putting SPS into it.....
THis is what I'm going to do........
1) I'm briefly turning it into a Berghia Farm, till they rid this tank of Aptasia.
Then I'm going to just grow easy things, like Mushrooms, and Zoas. Or whatever. but no SPS, and probably no LPS.
I picked up the Berghia Nudi's today (4 ADULTS)
And setup the Frag Tank like this. (Added a 2 Gallon Tank Inside the 35 to keep berghia contained)
Added some Aptasia covered Rubble and stuff from the Frag Tank to give the Berghia some Food.
No Need for a Heater, since the 2G is submerge in the 35 G Frag Tank.
And for Oxygen, New Nutrient Water.....devised a Pump-Less Trickle Flow setup like this.
The Berghia are Safe. Can't escape so I can watch them.....
ONWARD!!!
