Seth's 150g DD SPS dominant reef

[sethsolomon]

Regular instant ocean or reef crystals? Regular IO is going to be low on trace, and RC isn't much better. I used to order red sea coral pro salt from Dr. F&S with free shipping. Pricing was reasonable, and the salt was decent.

Regular io. I am hoping someone can bring in Fritz salt for me.

Looking like your best bet is Atlantis aquariums in Richmond Virginia. They carry Fritz. Nvm, looks like the shop went out of business. The fritz website has a vendor locator.

ahh yahhh!!!!! starting to get diatom spots. Looks like I am going to get a tester fish this coming up week. I am thinking either a dottyback or dartfish of some form.

I like ORA electric indigo dottyback. Cool color and pretty well behaved as far as dottybacks go. Let's see some pics!

Awesome news! My levels are within range for my first fish! I also have coraline and diatoms growing.

Yay!!! Figure out which fish will be first?

update time!!!

So added 2 fire fish, 2 montis, a zoa frag, and a stick that resembles cali tort.

So technically I hit my goal of the tank being coral ready by MACNA but I will not be going.

Looking great Seth! Good job on hitting your goal.

Also picked up a mini colony of green slimers and purple slimers for $20 for both of them

Not going to macna? Too far off a drive across town?

Don't have the money to go. Also, parking alone will be $50 a day.

Well I picked up a green slimmer colony and a purple slimmer mini colony for $20.

I've never seen purple slimer before, I like it! I'll have to keep my eyes open, looks like a heck of a deal for $20!

yah neither have I but when I went to pick it up it was a purple acropora yongei. So yah it was a heck of a deal. I might have a frag or 2 when I am sending some corals to Luke if you want to tag in some.
