looks nice though, are you going to go with the balling pumps for the proflux?

Good advice, yes I will eventually be connecting up a bailing system to the profilux.

You'll love the balling/doser. Which balling salts are you going to be running?

Currently I'm dosing the FM balling salts with the Trace B solutions in my nano, and I couldn't be more impressed with the rock solid parameters and the growth I've seen in some of my SPS.

I'll be using a 4 pump system with the 4 FM salts. I've setup this system before and found it works quite well.

Not much of an update today, got the skimmer in the other night and cleaned up the tank a little more.



Couple more pics, nothing special, all I had was my little Canon G9.
