For this video, Remy and Salem dropped by Remy’s fellow St Louis reefer Amer’s house to check out his 150-gallon mixed reef tank.
The roughly square Innovative Marine EXT contains a variety of corals from Bounce mushrooms to Torches and Acros, and is lit with an impressive combination of EcoTech Radion, Kessil AP9X, ReefBrite LED strip lights, and CoreXP lights.
Remy checks out the novel, frag tank to the side, which with its glass top becomes a table for Amer to work on his tank, and his sump behind the wall has no mechanical filtration and is powered purely by a protein skimmer, a calcium reactor, and a kalkwasser stirrer.
The tank has been doing well, but like all tanks, some of the acros had started to RTN and STN. Cue Salem with what he thinks the reason behind it is, and the possible cure.
