Tank Entry

So here we go,

It quite long and over due to post some update f my tank. You will really surprise what happened at the last..... so here is our journey of "My 300 Gallon Reef in Saudi Arabia".

Normally we do not care of tank over flow boxes, weather it's external or internal. What I realize that most of detritus and debris stay there for long time until it convert from one shape to another which is harmful for optimal water parameters.... by chance yesterday ...

Well after 4-5 weeks my cycle is complete

The two table shrimp are pretty much gone, ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0, and nitrates are between 0 and 5 ppm.. Temp is 77-78 degrees, salinity is right on the mark. Calcium seemed high at like 480-500 but it was my first test and not sure if i did it right.

Did a 5 gallon water change today.

But im concerned as I havent seen any algae or diatom blooms.....i have read many start up threads with these and im wondering ...

My order from Hello Lights came in today so I was able to install an addition 150 watt Electronic ARO Ballast with XM 10,000K bulb on my setup. It looks a lot better in my opinion. an additional 450 watts of lighting on top of this 450 watts.

Well I have not updated my blog in a very long time. Far too long. A few things have happened since my last update on my 93 gallon cube. First, I no longer have a 93 gallon cube . Second, I had another kid, this time a baby boy, Welkin . Third, and most exciting I got a new 200 gallon AGE built tank and stand . Well I guess one could debate which event was more exciting.

Anyways, I kept a build thread in a local forum but failed to keep on running here. For that ...

Been working a tank for the Wife and kid. Thanks to melev for making the overlow for me i got it up and and running. I order 40 pounds of live rock and i think it too much but we will see. Now just have to find a good light so she can have her Anemone with her clownfish. If anyone knows a good cheap one let me know thanks
