Hi All
In the PETCO Ocean Water thread in one post was mentioned that it would be nice to see the evolution of a tank that was in artificial mixed reef salt and now will be in PETCO Ocean water.
Well, let see what happens with my tank. I hope I will be able to post again during the followings months.
The tank is a full SPS with just only 3 very small zoanthid colonies in 3 small rocks.
Tank description:
- 12 G Mr Aqua rimless
- CPR refugium (medium size) (around 2-3G more of water) FULL of macroalgaes.
- 2 Ecoxotic Panorama Marine fixtures (with blues and white LEDs) and one Stunner strip with Magenta and Blue LEDs. Plus simple one touch LED controller
- MP10
- JBJ ATO......this ATO is FANTASTIC...the water level only fluctuate 1/8-1/4". I glued both sensor cases and set it up on function B. The RED glass container in the side has distilled water. I covered the sensors with plastic mosquito net because a snail went inside and almost make a disaster. Fortunately I was there.
- Skimmer added inside of the refugium.
- 2 RKL (one with one PC4 to control all the lights) (got it used cheap here). The other has 3 PC4 and SL1 module with pH probe (got this new)
The tank was filled with water on July 4 2013 (today has a little more than 2 months old).
Last weekend (Sept. 8) I replaced 5G of salt mixed salt with 5G of PETCO Ocean Water. This coming weekend I will replace another 5G and later I will start with my usual 2G of water change per week.
Let enjoy some pictures:
