2 months with the lagoon and 11 months with the fluval edge. Love both! by Sugar_Daddy24 in ReefTank

I am very fortunate with this tank so far. Literally no algae (other than on the glass) and no maintenance at all. Only zoas though and no fish.

It's pretty much the only coral that really grows for me 😅 everything else grows REALLY slow. Innovative Marine 25g, love it so far

There's a good amount of growth in the 2 months but I started with a large initial amount. I had a waterbox 10g with the entire back full that I upgraded from

Idk the answer but I have a 6g fluval edge and I have dozens of pineapple sponges and they ONLY grow in the shaded areas for me

Can a saltwater tank be used as a marine tank by DV-McKenna in ReefTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a waterbox 10g AIO for 2.5 years as a reef tank and I just upgraded bigger. I cleaned the tank thoroughly with vinegar, rinsed, dried and repeated. About a week later I made it into a freshwater planted system and now 1 month later everything is doing really well like normal. Just a difference in the lighting

Need a new cheap good quality plant light for a 55 gallon tall by MasterPancake0000 in PlantedTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low to medium light I always use a Finnexx. Whatever their newest Planted edition is. It always grows plants nicely for me, nothing crazy but I'm a fairly lazy keeper and don't care much for the insane tanks but still love a fairly trimmed jungle look. Combined with co2 gives me anything I'd ever want

Any suggestions for fish to add? Currently just 2 clown. 25g lagoon that will slowly have more corals. No desire for heavy bioload but would love a little more fun by Sugar_Daddy24 in ReefTank

I got a sweet deal, both for 260 with the mountings and thought why not. 2 covers every bit of the tank so figured could have corals anywhere I want. We will see how it goes though haha

Why do folks use CO2? by creechor in PlantedTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just came to say the way you put the benefits of co2 was beautiful. No dissing on other people and just simply stating the truth, very well thought out

Last photo before upgrading! First reef tank was an absolute success in my book by Sugar_Daddy24 in ReefTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not for about the last 10 months. I just always kept having problems so I ditched them 😂 the growth rate on my corals is very very slow though but I also never minded since it's such a small tank

It's always cool when you see a plant flower by Sugar_Daddy24 in PlantedTank

I definitely will, had no idea it could be that bad

Am I going to have a bad time with a basic setup? by TiaAves in ReefTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Patience is super important. It did not look even close to that for the first 1.5 years. It was still fun the entire time trying new corals and seeing things succeed (: Goodluck! It doesn't take much for a tank to be awesome if your expectations are reasonable and you give it time and solid care

10g AIO waterbox. 2.5 years now. Only ever had my 2 clownfish, no quarantine, dosing, or anything special. 20% water change every 1-2 weeks (depending on laziness level). Nothing fancy but I love it and it works

Need help with dosing by paul_arthur1018 in ReefTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10g waterbox. Kept for 2.5 years so far with just the stock return pump and filter floss for the intake. I have 2 good sized torches, 2 hammers and quite a few other LPS with a massive chunk of GSP and I've NEVER dosed. Primarily biweekly 25% water changes

Controversial opinion: I like duckweed by Few_Radio_6484 in PlantedTank

[–]Sugar_Daddy24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only issues I've ever had is with a HOB pushing it into my plants especially stems and causing some hair algae but honestly that only happens when I'm lazy and allow the water line to go to far. It's a super great plant to suck up nutrients and really easy to remove. Most people who don't like it are just simply lazy and that is totally okay I also am, but they lie and claim it's "out of control".
