Big news for the schnitzel family....just made a big purchase. I am the proud owner of my very own wienerschnitzel. Still work for my mom helping her with her stores, but this one is all mine.
Working 15 hours a day and 16 days strait with no days off has been a little rough, but my tank is doing great.
Reefbrites only
Congrats wiener boy! Exciting times! Tank looks great to.
Nice! Where is that one at?
Ontario.
Why haven't I seen this thread before?
Really amazing, setting a high bar.
I do love me some polish dog with sauerkraut!

So the stupid ph scrubber caused an alk swing and I lost a couple new frags. Luckily I caught it in time and didn
Your fts continue to amaze.
The darn problem with keeping a tank stable is that so many points along the way where a sudden and significant hiccup can happen. Glad you caught the alk swing quickly

What makes me mad is that I caused it. I was chasing a higher PH, and it caused my alk to swing. I ditched the whole ph scrubber and just went back to normal. Things seem fine now
The color and size of those colonies are incredible. Great work!
Dude you've had that gold torch forever lol
Yep. Going on 5 years
Yeah man. The tank's growth is great and everything is beyond surviving and thriving. Don't get caught up in the numbers or chasing for that extra 1% just to risk it all. Just crack a beer sit back and enjoy all them corals!
Very nice tank. One of these days will need to make a trip and drool. Also like to pick your reefing knowledge.

Congrats on the store.
I recently had an ALK swing and lost most of my sps

I read you don't use the needle valve and keep your effluent wide open. What feed pump do you use and what is your pH set at?
I found myself constantly tinkering with the needle valve because it would plug up and cause alk swings. Want to keep things stable. Also, because you run wide open I imagine your blasting your CA reactor with CO2 to maintain the pH. What is your pH inside the Ca reactor? We have the same GEO reactor and I am going to try and copy your setup since your sps growth rate is phenomenal. :top:

Double post
Unfortunately I had some RTN going on in my tank. 3 different colonies were affected. I sent some water in to Triton, and everything looks pretty normal. I did 3-40g water changes, and the RTN stopped. I wish I knew exactly what caused it, but in this hobby that seems impossible. This was the first time since I started this tank 4 years that I
nothing you can do but hope and pray you figured out the issue. Good luck, it's painful to watch colonies of your favorite corals RTN.
Tanks been doing great again. No more corals died, still not 100% sure what it was. Most likely fluctuating Alk.

tank looks awesome. i need to go back in the thread and see what makes this machine tick! also, glad you caught the alk swing early!
