Husbandry & Notes

This tank for about a year now. It's an equal tank. It's a six by two and a half by two and a half. It's about 350 gallons around that and yeah, as you can see, it's mostly SPS corals.
I've got t5 mainly in the middle 881 and I think I've got eight Kessils. So eight Kessils just like it's got spotlighting. Normally people would have like one or two these small lights just to highlight some of their corals, but you have eight of them.
I'm running 3 MP 40s. I've got a quiet driver over there. I think I've got two old ones. I've got those Asian pumps, there's Jebao ones, that's a big one and there's small one and I've gotten every 10 and it just got a random MP 10 just to create more animals.
I use this natural sea salt that ultimately are an Australian party. They pretty much developed it for me.
The way I see reefing, it's like pushing a really heavy ball. It takes a lot to get going, but once it's going, it's actually quite easy to maintain that ball.
