My Tank Build
#21
I’m dosing heavy on AFR, I’ve also supplemented with AF Mud, and it’s made such a difference in my coral.
Magnesium can run different in each tank.
My main 3 test are Mag, Alk, and Ca, everything else
Falls in line with proper feeding, and the right amount of fish, given the size of your tank, a nice healthy clown fish would supplement that little tank just right.

@Jimbo327 Hooked me up with some Ammonium Bicarb and a few frags. Started adding 1ml per day.

*Update 11/23/25

Trying to up the flow and turnover through the chambers, as I was still using the stock pump. Replaced it with the Jebao DCW 1500 DC Sine Pump. Went from 127gph to just under 400gph. This also allowed me to add about a 1 1/2 gallons of more saltwater to the tank. Need to rearrange the 2nd and 3rd chamber because pump is not fitting in the 3rd chamber with the heater. Heater is in main display atm(so ugly), until I can redo the chambers.

Also, ordered the dual nozzle VCA Random Flow Generator(hopefully today). Once this arrives I will move some of the extra rock I have in Chamber 2 to 3. Don't know what I'm going to do with the Mangroves since I don't want roots going into the pump.

No luck on finding a Tailspot Blenny over the past couple weeks. My usual go to spots, Reef Lounge and Ocean's Tropical were out. Not in a rush.

Branching GSP coral was pissed and wouldn't stay in the spot I placed it. Looks Like it might not make it(no polyp extension, looked a bit brown). Glued it to a piece of rubble I had in Chamber 2 and put it in a low light medium flow spot of the tank and we see how it will do.

Leaving for Vegas tomorrow. Setup Auto fish feeder with small sinking pellets. Setup my webcam on the tank chambers so I could remote in and view the tank. Put AFR in a super slow dripper that measures out to about 4ML a day. Put in Just enough for the weekend.

Back from Vegas.
- Alk is still climbing slowly 7.5, Dripper worked perfectly.
- Nitrates back to 0, expected this since I couldn't really manually dose.
- Phos .03

Branching GSP is fully open lol. I'll take it still waiting for the RFG nozzles.
