Tank looks great. I was wondering if you run carbon since you have some large softies in the tank in addition to sps. You mentioned you dose B-Ionic, about how much do you have to dose a day? One last question, what size tank is it?

Congratulations again on a very nice tank.

at last chad! The first corals in my tanks came from this one. It looked great then and looks great now. what you can't see so well in the photos is chad's talent for the aqua scaping. This tank is just full of interesting features. Go see it if you have the chance!

So what are you "feeding" your corals? What is B-onic?

Wow, I was away from Maast for a little while and now TOTM...SWEET.

Anyways since submitting this, I have upgraded to a larger tank. This was a 100gal and things were getting pretty tight. The corals got pretty stressed during the move, but are starting to look better, and I only had 2 or 3 losses. Hopefully I'll be able to submit the new tank in a year or so once eveything has fully recovered and is grown out some more.

Thanks for all the great comments! To answer some questions, I rarely run carbon on this tank. I was dosing a med. sized turkey baster full of Bionic every day or two in the mornings. I never fed the corals themselves, just the fish. Bionic is a two part calcium/buffer addative.

Id also like to add that almost all of the corals came from people on MAAST, and that most of them started out as frags.
