Looking good nice and clean ;)

11.50pm I can confirm the lights are now dialed in - time for bed!

Is that Tunze's I see?????

looks really nice! my unit came with a default setting that was very much white with no red hue. i'm surprised they don't all come preconfigured the same? or maybe your camera is really off.

Your guests sitting on the couch right next to the tank are going to need the shades that came in the box for sure! Is it going to remain that high?

its the camera its nothing special.

For now yes this is a temporary solution. There is a slight wave to the backing black acrylic, due to this the MP40's resonate real bad because of this, Ecotech and I are desperately trying to find a solution.

If put on the side glass of course they are perfect but I cant mount the pumps there.

Advise corner :)

My aim is to avoid as many hitch hikers as possible in the system, hence the reason for the first time ever I decided to use dry rock (Marco) but of course its virgin with not a single critter in sight!

Other than live rock (which defeats the purpose) are their critters on the market foe this?

I get good critters from other reefers

how do you know what you are getting? Surely this is no different than seeding with live rock?

Sorry should clarify.

I got stomella snails and brittles from other people. As for seeding the rock it'll be whatever you introduce through live stock

I added a piece of live rock and ended up with army of collinista snails. Though good hitchhiker they .... Like rabbits
