Biocube 32 - my first foray into SW

Can you have too many corals (assuming no crowding)? Lol.

I always thought that if I got into saltwater, I'd be all about the brightly colored fish, not dumb rocks that are alive (corals) but here we are and I've gotten the coral bug! So many colors and varieties!

Thanks so much to all of the members that have helped me get started with either free or VERY affordable frags.

I've been in the freshwater hobby for over 20 years, so keeping an eye on params and water changes as necessary are second nature to me. So far, all seems to be going swimmingly- but I'm totally open to suggestions or constructive criticism!

Thats a few nice patches of zoas you have in your biocube. And the water looks nice and clear....what is your ph at to get them to grow like that?

Looks nice! I would add powerhead/s to make more flow in the tank for your fishes and corals. They will definitively get better with flow.

Other than that, just keep two portion of parameters in check and keep ‘em stable as possible. Nitrate/Phosphate and Alkalinity/Calcium. These two set of parameters are most important part other than salinity I will say.

Also remember, there are “many ways” reefers are having “similar result”. So. Pick one and stick to it. Ex. Carbon dosing (like vodka dosing) will have same result No POX. So you would shouldnt be using these together. Etc. Or you have turf scrubber or refugium / Cheato but dosing bacteria like MB7 which are competing for same nutrients. Etc. Some do use them in conjunction if system requires that much nutrient export. And keep your hands out of the tank. Some tips~
