Bit of an update,
Picked up A decorated firefish yesterday. Put a bit more rock in and re scaped. Skimmer is pulling some seriously dirty crap out now. Stuck some fuses on my lights just for peace of mind. No point putting more photos up till I get my dosing pump and some more SPS frags!

UPDATE:
Everything running smoothly now. Had a trip when the RTP pipe popped off and my pump shot water everywhere. Actually luck it hit he PowerPoint or ALOT of water would have been on the floor :o
Got some SPS frags off a local member cheers mate! Bought a small clam, should colour up nicely. Going to get some more SPS and a squamie clam of Dave at extreme reef sometime next week!

Very nice indeed! Love the one with orange polyps.

 

[WoodyMackay]

Thanks mate,
Im just so stoke that I now have a tank that I barely touch/test (weekly now), that keeps SPS coloured and colours up frags!! all those frags were pretty much brown

 

[chimaera]

Really? Wow they all look so healthy!

 

[WoodyMackay]

Yehp I think they are starting to get healthy again cause I sold my angel to another refer, and I'm getting PE through the day again.

 

[WoodyMackay]

downside, corraline has started, spots all over the back of the tank, goodbye ALK/CA/MAG !!! ;(

 

[chimaera]

Coralline is a downside?

 

[WoodyMackay]

well yes and no. Coralline means my tank is healthy ( 3 weeks with coralline already I must be doing something right)
but corralling sucks Soooooooo much alk cal and mag out of the water! my dosing is gonna go through the roof, not that its hard to up the dosing its just a pain in the a**e
