Rimless Reef

Update:

1. Since I have the Dino's under control I have decided to destroy them once and for all! I have had the lights off for about 36 hours now along with dripping Kalk to drive up the Ph. A couple more days of darkness and high Ph should do the trick. Hopefully my SPS don't hate me for it. :D

2. Looks like I have a ton of bacteria on my sandbed. It is really clumping up. Looks like the bacteria is binding to the carbonate. I may end up replacing the sandbed for a new one, possibly this weekend.

3. I picked up a few new frags the other day from a local reefer. Ended up getting an Idaho grape monti, green slimmer, and orange digi. They are bland corals to many people but I love them.

4. I am still dosing the vodka method but may stop dosing it. I have noticed increased red cyano bacteria since starting dosage. I am probably going to be adding a cheto refugium this weekend and ditching the vodka. Im gonna monitor the red cyano carefully and continue vodka dosage for another week.

5. I rearranged the entire right side of the aquarium. I moved some rocks around and created a nice set of caves for my fish to live in. Plus I now get better flow between the rock work.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I will have some pics of the new aquascape today.
