My 225 Gal

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

hi all, well my 75 gal broke, and had no choice too set up the 225,as i would have lost everything, not that i have much as i all theses awesome tanks on here. ph,nitrite,nitrate,ammonia, are all in check. working on getting calcium,phospate,kh, down as they are way too high.

cabinet i made a few years ago.i had too reinforce the whole cabinet too hold all the weight of the 225 tank,all level all around. didn't want another tank giving out on me.

lights i have so far are 36'' t5's 4 bulbs 39 watts, just ordered another 36'', should be here soon.with moon led lights on each set.

just got my other set of lights for other side of tank.
PO- 2.0 ppm
KH- 12*
CA- 520 ppm
MG- 1200 ppm
PH- 8.3
NH3/NH4- 0 ppm
NO3- 0 ppm
phosphates were over 10.0 ppm, and have gotten them way down,with phosguard. and still going down. just added acid buffer to get KH down abit.
soft corals have been doing good, so far. all been growing and thriving, i keep my water temp at 78 - 79 degrees. any tip's on what too do, i sure would appreciate it.

BATFISH!?!?

 

[jfahim]

is there only one overflow box in your tank?

 

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

yes, theres only one over flow box.

 

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

the bat fish is doing awesome, he's about 10''. eating very good. bat fish are very very difficult too keep. i have had bat fish years ago, and had no problems.

 

[h20 freak]
