Holy cow dude, what a ton of work!!! But it looks great, congrats on the upgrade. My one suggestion is look into a Ca reactor and contemplate ditching the Ca and Alk dosing. With a tank that big and the inevitable growth of corals, you're going to tire of dosing pretty quick.

Thanks. It has been and will always be a ton of work.
Funny you say that. I had just sold my CA reactor a few months before upgrading. so far dosing has not been a real issue with the apex controlling everything...it certainly was less work when not having to mix up stuff and cheaper.

So I sold my BK mini 180 to One_Divided today, which worked out pretty good, as I was able to buy Jasons BK 250 External.

My GAWD. I meet up with Jason in Aldergrove to swap the moola for the merch and he begins hauling out this piece of plastic that is as big as my house...Geesus, this thing is huge. Not what I was expecting at all.

I mean look at how impressed the Missus is! Hmmm, I think that is a look if impression.....

This thing is probably able to be a carwash and skimmer. If it does not help improve my nutrient issue, I am selling the house and moving into the BK Hotel.

Anyways, off to set the new house up...Gawd how did I get into this hobby...ugh...
