Nice job!

Thanks guys.... I think

I'm planning on a decent amount of remote monitoring so I can keep an eye on things when I'm away, I just can't go anywhere without internet access or cell service. The room is a little overwhelming, there are 17 valves so far but for the most part they are just for maintenance stuff. Not like I'm in there turning valves all the time

Plan is to setup a quarantine system this weekend and start a 6 week quarantine for the fish I have now so I'm starting fresh, hopefully without any parasites. Never done this before but being that this tank is mostly about fish and some will likely be pretty expensive and sensitive it just makes sense.

Any prophylactic treatments being done? Hypo? Paraguard?

Also, for remote monitoring I love my IP camera. I set a bunch of preset locations on it, which really helps. I can see water levels in the tank and sump, and the floor around the system. I can even see the polyps on most corals. It was worth every penny.

Golden, not reef safe in the slightest way.

And from the front



Tank is lit with two LED spotlights so just bright enough to get an idea.

Just copper treatment for parisites.

Your camera sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out when my frag is ready

I got some more of the acrylic plugs today from OC. I'm going to try to get you a bigger frag than the ones I've got. They're around 1.5 inches, which is too little (I think).

Oh, I just that about something. Is it to use as a test to see if anything eats it? In that case, smaller might be better?
