1 year progress
 

Well the 1st year has been a struggle to say the least. Many upgrades, lots of banging my head against the wall, and many a dollar spent. But learning lots and trying my best at this large tank. Things are growing nicely from looking at the pictures now compared to a year ago[IMG][IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...psbdbrphyb.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]

Looking awesome! You've done a great job on this massive tank!

Thanks Mindy! 😆

Looking at upgrading my orbit marine led's. Upgrading my sump pump. Addiing a calcium reactor and a profulix system with auto doser. Would like more LPS. Slowly adding fish and dI'd get a 125g quarantine tank

Quarantine tank is good to hear! What is your protocol now?

You're getting some great growth in the tank. What type of lighting are you wanting to upgrade to? Have you considered Apex as well as Profilux? Both are very good systems. The Profilux does have the stand alone doser too which is nice if you don't want the entire controller system.

I did add 4 radion 400w last year. I was considering radion wr30w pro instead of my marine orbits. I purchased the profulix system with auto doser on kiji last year with a big detec skimmer that both were new from a guy getting out of the hobby. I also added a bio pellet reactor and have no algea issues at all anymore

That sounds awesome - good score. Radions are my favorite LED fixture, but I'm not a fan of LEDs. Have you considered supplementing with halides at all? You'd get more natural looking light with the punch to get the depth (I'd suggest some T5, but not with your tank depth). You may find increased growth and color if you have a way to deal with heat.

Yes I have 4, 400w halides [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...ps5yri3ulb.jpg[/IMG]

So you do! Good call. :)
