Update on the new system. After the unlucky bout with Dino’s, the tank is progressing well. In fact, I was showing damage on a WWC Blueberry frag in the 75 so I dipped and moved it to this system on the 20th and the tissue damage is already healed. So, I moved the damaged colony to this tank last night. If it heals as well, then I know that the problem on the 75 is lights or some kind of infection. So this build will have served its purpose!

I also got the PM1 module for this system and hooked it up to the apex Along with pH & temp probes. Getting some funky high readings on the pH (8.38-8.5 daily). I’m gonna give it a week or so and re-calibrate.

All in all, I am loving the system and have already started fragging Xenia & a variety of Zoas from the 75.

Looks nice, keep us posted on how the corals are doing. May have to take some of the 40 g magic and put in your main display tank.

Thanks Jeff. At this point, I think the PAR meters are to blame. I trusted those readings far too much. I still can’t explain why my corals were doing so good, for months, last year when my lights were cranked....

First batch of new/fresh and un-damaged SPS arrived yesterday and today. I lowered my black box light to 30% white for 5hrs and 75% blue for 10hrs. Frag rack is about 2” off the sand bed and light is 17” from the waterline.
Alk= 8.2-8.5 consistent
Ca=410
PO4=.1 yesterday (house sitter overfed while I was on vaca)
NO3=10 consistently

Fuge online 10hrs overnight



The Zoas are from the 75 and are for sale if anyone is interested. Dragoneyes,  Bam bams, Fire & Ice

There has been no update to this build because I ran into a lot of hurdles in the last 6 months. But I am happy to report, I’ve got the tank humming along. I just want to share a few pics of the corals that I’ve had for over a month and they’re doing fantastic. I’ve seen more growth in the last 3 weeks than I had in the last 6 months.

My favorite: AV99 Passionfruit


Agames Cactus Pavonia


Jjoos99’s Cali Tort
