Thanks man! Ever since I put my CA reactor back on line everything exploded in my tank.

How big is your sump? And which skimmer and calcium reactor are your running? Are you running gfo and/or carbon at all? Sorry, I'm trying to get ideas. I'm saving up and looking out for deals on a bubble magus doser. I have no idea about dosing but I'd like to go that route so I can have a thriving mini reef as well. I'm just trying to get a little more insight on your setup as it looks healthy for a relatively young reef :)

If I remember correctly the sup is 32x15x15. I running the smallest omega skimmer and the CA reactor is a Geo. Not running gfo or carbon just Zeovit. I prefer a reactor over dosing. I've done both and the reactor requires less maintenance and only minor adjustments. The start up cost is way more than dosing but in the long run the reactor ends up being cheaper (depending on the size of your tank)

Thanks, I'll look into both sides. Less maintenance sounds great but high initial cost doesn't lol! I have an SCA 50g cube with 18g sump only. I need to read up on calcium reactors and zeovit, heck I'm still trying to learn about dosing lol!

Yup. Picked up a pair of flame wrasses. That copper band ate frozen at the store and now it won't touch it. It survives on pods and new life spectrum.

As for what's in the box....



I upgraded my calcium reactor

The female came out today and she too is eating!

My main concern is my Lyre tail anthia. He punked my helfrichi to the point that it stopped eating. So far all is good.

So glad I have lids on this tank. The blue spotted jaw fish jumped 3 times last night and hit the lids. Also, my clowns have become supper aggressive and chase off any fish that goes near the nems. The female has it out for the flame hawk and he too would have ended up on the carpet quite a few times by now.

Ok on to pictures!

Got some zoas!

Got these sponge bob zoas from [MENTION=7472]josebelthobby[/MENTION]



And he hooked it up with these. I think he said they were kilowatt zoas but I can't remember



I also got these Red rooster bowser zoas. It was hard to get a picture of their color.
