Just picked up my new sump. Simple in design and I hope it will stay nice and clean.

I had it made at a plastics place in Langley. It measures 23x20. Fits in my stand nicely and gives me way more water volume than the little 25 gallon I had under there before. There's also a lot more room for goodies in there which make maintenance 10x easier.

My new Jebao twin controller arrived today. I ordered it from fish-street on Tuesday afternoon and it was here by Thursday. I removed the previous two controllers and installed the new one to my electrical panel. Its not quite as tidy due to the bulky connectors but it'll do the trick.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/03/byme7ybe.jpg The controller has a few cool features including alternating the pumps, the various wave modes plus the ability to change the interval and wave strength from 30-100%. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/03/e5ymuvyj.jpg Of course I couldn't even dream of cranking it up as the living room would become a puddle.

Beauty! That's amazing.

There have been a few changes to the tank since I last posted. I had to redo the rock work as there were too many dead spots. I also quickly found out that with a 'pillar' type lay out there is very little space for corals, well anything that requires high light and flow.
I moved the rocks around and now have a kind of cavern with lots of swim throughs and lots of places for corals. I have been busy visiting a few of the local SPS suppliers around here and picked up some big frags which have settled in nicely. I've also added a couple of fish including a Bartlett anthia, mandarin and a blue side fairy wrasse which are all healthy and doing well. I seem to have dialed in my dosing quite nicely and my parameters stay very stable. Any of the corals that survived the move are doing superb, they have colored up beautifully and are growing quite fast and the birdsnest is huge. I took a couple of pics on my phone, I really should bust out the DSLR for a few shots....maybe next time, I have to go test params.
