@sid: thanks for the links on fragging xenias! Will try it as soon as i set up the eggcrate for the frags.(maybe this weekend)
@jackryan:I will take more pics of the plumbing and sump setup
tomorrow and post it tom night.I will also list my main concerns re the planning of the tank and how i addressed it.
obet_carlos: Will post pics tom. I'm using the cheapest imported saltmix(as far as i know) w/c is Coralife by the bucket (c/o Peter) and change 10gallons(20%) every end of the month using RO water.
I use DIY Randy's two part recipe#1 for calcium and alkalinity (plus magnesium).I've been using this for almost 4 months now to minimize on costs( a lot of savings actually) but you have to dose everyday( or every two days-just double the dose) after using Seachem Reef Complete for the first three months pero medyo magastos kaya i looked for other options. Coralline algae grew faster using the 2part system and i'm happy with it . About two weeks ago i tried dosing Aqua Vitro Fuel (from Seachem also) mainly to try out the effects of amino acid but i only dosed half the recommended dosage. I still have to notice any significant change (whether good or bad) but if nothing good happens after the whole bottle is used up maybe i'll stop using it altogether.
I'm looking for something that will help in coloring up the acros although i don't have any problem with growth. I guess they are still adjusting to my MH lighting( any suggestions or inputs are welcome). But i don't have much problem with my pink Millepora.
Thank you guys for showing some interest in this setup and will keep you posted!!
