That's a really cool looking setup bud, probably going to be amazing once the frags grow out a tiny bit.

What are you using for nutrient export? I see you're feeding quite a bit. Sorry if you already mentioned it.

Will the scoly be okay on its side like that? it looks awesome.

Awesome build.........I checked all the posts and cannot determine how big this cube is. How big is this thing?😉

The lighting is ok as I am running a staggered set up, the Achilles stopped eating a week after the pic and met its maker... anyone that has kept these fish know that it is not so easy.

Thanks bro! I am using a skimmer for nutrient export and will be using brightwells bio brick or the no3 brick soon when I get a chance to buy.

Thanks buddy, maybe a 1000w mh??

I will be upgrading my skimmer before adding any more lighting....

I also think I forgot to add that I have a 50w led flood light on the side about 4' away from my tank.

I will have to come and check it out soon, I got my setup moved on Friday ... Everything is alive so far.

It's been over a month since my last update, not much has changed except I added a few new fish to fill the tank, I also switched salts to AF Probiotic.
Too soon to tell as I am still doing biweekly WC at 5g.

My last test for Ca was overdue as I tend to monster alk closely. I was surprised to see that ca was sitting at 360 so I upped the doser to do 14x per day vs 12 and also bumped up the dosing to 9ml from 7. Hoping this will slowly raise the Ca back to 4fiddy or around that range.

I also added a bio brick to the sump and installed a gate valve with water cascading over the dimples of the brick, it's been running for 2 weeks now and hoping it will be fully operational by New Years.

With the colder weather I added a 500w titanium heater, my garage door was insulated but took it off since there was moisture issues. I reckon the electricity bill will rise now since the garage feels like 12c.

Well off into the new year, and the snow has subsided. Over 2 months since my last update... I have made a few mistakes that was costly, I added a striped hawkfish that killed a Sulawesi basket and near blinded my yellow watchmen. I've relocated the yellow watchmen to the sump where it resides with more corals and thankfully has made a quick recovery.

The big 3 has been stable and mostly on autopilot with the dosing. Alk 8.5 Ca 430 Mg 1400 my po4 has bounced abit so I am still tweaking the rowaphos outflow and feeding heavy as I always do, nitrates are below 4 and sometimes untraceable.

I had a bryopsis problem that I took care of quickly with some fluco meds and also used some Vibrant to deal with a bubble algae outbreak.
Since dosing both I've done 2 30g wc on top of my regular 10g per week WC.

Added a bunch of new corals which includes an orange frogspawn gold anchor gold hammer and a bunch more sps frags.
