Hotdog's Maxed Out Reef 650

Soon you need to get a bigger tank...


Anyway, some really nice fish in there.
 
If I were you I would have regretted not setting up the 3m tank as a fish only setup. With your collection of fish, who would want to look at corals.
 
Some random photos:

I love how these two are just chilling on the coral:

Added another 100w Cree chip and also swapped some white 3w chips out for Violet and UV, colour looks better, but might need to add more blue at later stage:

Also finally getting nitrates down with Nopox dosing, living on the edge of what is safe with white bacterial film developing on glass due to so much bacteria forming with Nopox dosing, Luckily I have UPS to run skimmer and return, but if power and the UPS fail I will probably have 3 hours max before losing everything due to bacteria using up all the oxygen.

Might switch to biopellets once nitrates are down to somehow contain bacterial mass to a reactor that is plumbed into skimmer.

Nitrates close to 50 now and dropping:

Monti seems to like lower nitrates:

Looking awesome - don't overlook the back where the circ pumps live - the water can get out just fine but the "goodies" can collect there & build up pretty easy

Cool, thank you, maybe I need to put one of those pumps on UPS too.
