Need to get rid of my 300 and get down to about that size like yours. I am missing my Sps! Keep up the good work buds. It's really nice!

well time for a quick update .

Tank is coming along really well . Its been up and running since march of this year , and I can officially say that setting up this new tank is the only thing that kept me in this hobby.
its ease of maintenance and simple design has brought the joy back for me.

I am loving the Calcium reactor. I do not miss mixing up jugs of bulk chemicals.
I no longer run any phosphate remover.
I run passive carbon.
I no longer run biopellets.

I do large water changes often.

My Corals have never looked better, and they are still improving. hands down the corals are leaps and bounds ahead of my last tank.

Blue 7-12 100% 4-10
Royal blue 7-12 100% 4-10
Cool white 7-12 85 % 4-10
RED 7-12 35% 4-6
True green 7-12 100% 4-6
Hyper red 7-12 45% 4-6
yellow 7-12 100% 4-6
Neutral white 7-12 85% 4-6
Hyp vilote 7-12 100% 4-10
