Small bit of an update,
Did a 20% water change yesterday, tested levels, swapped in some new Current bulbs, 10k/6.7k & 420nm/460nm.
Temp - 79.5
pH - 8.0
Ca - 440ppm
Mg - 1200ppm (supplemented top off bucket a bit to raise it a tad)
Also made a new little magnetic frag station to get some zoa colonies growing
I scrapped the Vortech MP20 Idea for now; figure I'd be better suited holding off until I've settled into a place of my own and start a larger reef.
I am however considering building myself a new stand, though I'm scared of the difficulties involved in lifting the tank in order to swap the stands... anyone have experience with this? I'd like to incorporate a sump but my current stand is so flimsy and made with awkward dimensions.. making it hard to do much. Any brilliant ideas are welcome
Also got a couple of cool zoanthid polyps from a LFS... they were floating around loose, I offered $5... he said sure
Great colors, I'll try and get an accurate picture later tonight!
