The Dream 120 Reef

[Luke.]

Wee update ,
Black out worked wonders and knock on wood I haven’t seen any dynos come back (I kept my lights around 15-20% and haven’t done a water change in 4-5 weeks trying to raise phos , nitrates around 15-20ppm , things are looking promising and more coral line is coming in keeping in mind I started 100% acid bath new Marco rocks and a few toonie sized chunks of a friends coral line . so I knew this was going to be slow

oh and also got a sweet pair of hydra 52’s and I’m speechless ..

I don’t have coral yet , but I hear good things about these lights and sps ! And love the spread of the lights is fantastic, probably won’t need anything else to “fill in” the areas

Looking good, I'm still on the fence with my Hydras, I'm running 5 over the tank now and still can't nail down the color I want. I have a few profiles to try that might help.

What does your schedule look like?

PS get some fish in there.

This is what I’m aim for , wanted to keep sps

I have not seen that one before, tried the many on their site, a couple BRS versions. Looking to make some changes, I'll give that a go.

Small update !

added a bristle tooth tang , and gramma , still more fish to come .

also added the Red Sea diy screen cover , took a few hours but I give it a solid 9/10 , wish the screen mesh was more “square” . But once’s it’s in the tank you don’t notice it much / at all , should long have any jumpers now

Before and after photos

It took a long time , but finally adding my first coral ever to the tank , wish me luck !
