Hugo’s Waterbox 100.3 build ....

[Hugo’s_reef]

Seems fair to say things between me and my tank are getting pretty serious haha .

Just added an apex, trident , as well as 2 Dos pumps .

Also started adding Acro power . I heard it does wonders on low nutrient tanks so I decided to try it.im feeding heavy and still no nitrate. Already lowered the lighting time on my fuge to only 6 hours a day .

Coral seem to be encrusting .happy to say so far so good.

I don’t have a chart really … but I’m getiing 250+ at bottom of the tank and 400-450 at the higher light areas . Most of the tank is around 300-390 area.

Wow! What kind of lighting did you end up going with?

I ended up using 3 Radion g5 xr15 blue. After I made that change is when my tank truly took off.

Thank you …I’ll be updating as I get new coral . Also plans are to add a small frag tank on the side.

Where did you get the white cabinet next to the tank? That’s a cool idea

I purchased that one at the Home Depot. You have to look in the “garage storage” area. All the ones I found in the kitchen cabinet area had no tops.

Thanks Matt
You were of great help getting this tank going. The chaeto I picked up from you helped get the beneficial bacteria and pod population going. Hopefully soon we can trade some pieces .

That piece there is my second to favorite piece in my tank. It’s a Frankenberry acro that I picked up from Defugiums Reef.
