LifeReef Calcium Reactor - Media Replacement

 It is a good practice to completely replace reactor media on a periodic basis. Annually seems to be sufficient depending on how the tanks demand and reactor output.

Also below is an updated look at the LR skimmer with recirculating CO2 scrubber through the BRS Jumbo.

Ecotech Ecosmart Lighting Schedule

Updated lighting schedule. Individual colors are based off the WWC Ecotech Marine AB+ schedule with Red, and Green at 24%. I elevated white to peak around 6PM at 50% as a personal viewing preference.

Exciting Coral and Fish Color Morphs

As the tank dials in and becomes more balanced the corals are starting to show their true colors. One particular Acro started showing orange tips in contrast to the blue skin. Another Acro gifted from a friend was solid green, but is now turning gold true to its name Pot-Of-Gold Millepora. The most exciting tank event continues to be the Emperor Angel color transition especially since I caught him in a stretch/flex of all those colors!

Battle Corals Sky Doppel

This is one of my favorite pieces I ever purchased from Adam at Battle Corals. Unfortunately it had a rough start and never really thrived. Right when I thought all was lost it started to show signs of good health and may be on its way to a full recovery and hopefully will grow into a beautiful colony.
