My 250 Reefer update

[SteveDola]

Its been about 8-9 mths and the tank is settled in nicely. Corals and fish are all doing well. I cant wait for another 6 mths when everything is turning into colonies. Its funny how some things take off and while others are stagnant. Thanks for looking!

It’s definitely weird how some stay stagnant for so long compared to others.

Beautiful!!! I love the scape, I’m working on doing a nsa for my 40 breeder wish I was a bit more artistic lol.

I had posted a video and pics of my NSA rockwork back 9 mths ago. I had to redo a few arches during creation but its not hard...just time consuming. I appreciate the comment about the rockwork bc I really like the open-ness of the space and the corals growing up to water surface will be awesome to see next year. I dont want to over crowd with corals (thats the hardest part).

Awesome I’ll definitely check it out thank you. That’s exactly what I’d like to aim for open-ness with lots of places to mount corals, but still leaving lots of space on the sand bed. Nothing beats a good mixed reef in my eyes keep it up the good work!

Thanks again all. Im going to try and capture some new tanks pictures soon. I had a few top downs but Ill get the camera out (maybe) for some tank shots. Funny looking back and seeing a few things I lost from my summer meltdown but then seeing the growth on some corals from a year ago.

I picked up a frag the other day. If you guys think that the pics look good wait until you see the update.

A full tank shot for posterity
Ive added a new skimmer online and the red sea ato+ as equipment upgrades over the last year. Upgraded my water change station which is god sent.

Some corals have grown faster than others. I have to toss out monti cap every couple months. I did have a RTN event from my cat getting into my top off while away last summer but saved mostly everything except for a few nice sps frags. The issue cause many of my sps to need to be cut back a lot but I was able to save at least frags. Ive replaced those lost with new nice sps frags. Hope you enjoy!
