Late jul and aug have been trying times for me and the tank...

Had some issue late in July with the profilux standalone doser and had stopped dosing for almost a week ( with exception to a few manual dosing) until I figured out the issue with the doser... The dosing pump for the Mg would not stop... Profilux thought that water had gotten in. Stopped the doser,checked it out and later that week it started to work properly again. It turns out that there was nothing wrong... and it may have had a brain fart moment... ever since it has been working normal again. My ca and Alk are lower then the norm but I have been gradually dosing extra to bring this back.

Then in Aug, one of my radion light failed... The fan stopped working... Bad luck, I guess... called Ecotech, was told that I had to deal with the Cdn distributor. Martin of Modular Led responded to my concerns. From there on it was out of his hands and I had to deal with the distributor on this. Overall, my experience with Martin had been great and he was even empathetic of the situation... I wished my experience with the distributor could have been the same or better...
About 1/4 of the sps browned out as I did not get the replacement light until almost 9 business days later.
Anyways, life goes on... I am still having light issues and it is the programming of the replacement light... I am dealing with ecotech on this and the people there have been great. I call them between 6am and 7am in the morning before work and we are still working on it.
What the problem is is that once the lights are programmed and when i exit the software ( after saving etc...) it does not go through the light cycle and the lights remains on so I have to manually turn it off at night and on in the morning.

I have picked up a Apex controller and also the Radion TIR lens kit. I have yet to install these items and I will once the light programming is fixed.
I am now also considering in getting a ca reactor down the road as I hear so many great things about it...

Back to the tank, surprisingly corals are still growing ( I had only one frag fatality ( STN) and hope things will be back to normal soon. Sould have pics later this week ( I hope)...
