looking forward to that post!

What are you keeping your alk at and what is your PH?

Also, what are your powerheads? I see 4 and they look kind of small for your size tank, so I was wondering how much flow you are getting. Obviously whatever it is, is plenty and great as your growth is awesome

Also you dosing anything for the SPS corals, like food or aminos, etc?

I keep my kh around 7.5, and I don't test ph, my apex reading is 8.3

I have 4 tunzes, three 6095 and one 6055, all controlled with apex.
Here a short video that was made yesterday of the flow in the millepora green, I think it's the highest flow area in the tank.


I don't dose anything, I recently started using reefroids.

that is a good amount of flow for sure, I was just surprised on not seeing your sand move at all in any of the videos on your youtube.

Do you have the tunzes all running at max and constant or do you have them programmed somehow?

I control tunzes with Apex, and I have some profiles of flow that changes over the day. like:
-night flow - runs at night (~35%)
-medium flow - run for 1h when the lights turn on and 1h before the lights turn off (~65%)
-day flow - run when the other's profiles are off (~75%)
-strong flow - run after the feeding cycle (5 times a day)(~85%)


What?!? Lol. How!!!
Those examples was the highest growth that I had here.. at the same time, I have other's SPS that grow too slow.:(

New vídeo, I know it shaked a lot, sorry for that.

I'm treating the tank with fluconazole, I have briopsys algae in the frag tank and refugium, 10 days has passed when I made the video.
Now the treatment complete 14 days, everything is ok, except the briopsys Haha.

Are you really building it up...just to burn it back down?


You have some colored torched I have NEVER seen before, wish I could find something like that yellow with the light green center up front with the purple/pink tips at the end... that thing is incredible!
