Edward's Aquariums

Added a bunch of SPS frags to that system and LPS frags to the other yesterday.



Things have been dialed in and stable for about 9 months now with slow coral additions in the SPS system since I decided to correct everything that went wrong in my crash, time to really stock it.

Happy 6 month birthday to my LPS display (Waterbox Infinia Frag 125.4)

In an effort to start sharing what I’m doing here, I’ve started making videos and taking more pictures for social media and forums, here’s a video of some of my torches.


I’ve been traveling for work every other week the past month so making big changes won’t be smart for at least a few more weeks.

I still need to:
-drill all the 60B’s
-build a 40B sump
-build the rack for the spawning system
-start cycling the spawning system
-recalibrate all the probes, dosing pumps, KH Director and ION Director
-start my new Calcium reactor
-start my new carbon reactor
-start UV sterilizer
-move the coral and fish QT to a better location
-switch my SPS system’s AWC to Kamor pumps
-reprogram my GHL for about 10 different things
-build the stand for the 250 gallon tub and start cycling it
-Drill, Restart and move my 40B that crashed when I was away after two anemones sacrificed themselves in powerheads. This is going to be a mixed reef my daughter will be able to see. She gets frustrated the CADE and Waterbox are so much taller than her (2 years old)

I also need lights and a few more GHL dosers, power bars and KH Directors for the tub and spawning system but no reason they can’t start cycling while I save up.

A lot of the colonies I purchased a few months ago are growing in nicely and have colored up real well. I’ll be making a post in a couple of weeks selling some frags to make room for more! Fortunately I’ve been coming to Boston and staying in Woburn so bringing frags won’t be an issue once they’re healed.

Hey everyone, its been a minute.

Since my last update I've officially started doing AWC with Kamoer FX-STP2's on my SPS system and transitioned off of two part and am running solely on a CaRx on my SPS system. Corals are looking great, especially the LPS in the waterbox. I'm going to start using the Doser pumps I was using for the SPS's AWC for the waterbox but won't be able to try it out for 10 because I'm heading to Boston for a week tomorrow and don't want to start a new function when I won't be able to watch it.

The AWC on the SPS system has only been successfully running for a few weeks now but I'm already noticing increased polyp extension and some coloring up again. Things have finally been stable for a good while in the SPS system so hopefully the frags and colonies start taking off. I can't get a good picture of the colonies I have growing in my frag system, too much coralline on the acrylic and I can't find the scraper, but they're all doing great!

Also, happy 9 month anniversary to my LPS system, its time for a trim (will be posting frags for sale after this post).
