Yes I am back, for now...

Tank is filled and been running for over a week, still haven't got around to setting up the lights. I added about 25lbs of live rock and started dosing seachem cycle. Will be throwing a light on this weekend to grow some algae and hopefully have a nice pod population going then snails and hermits.

I will add some pics once it's scaped to the way I like. Still need to mount the front panel wires are everywhere.

Happy Canada Day Y'all!!

New updates mounted my light radium 20k 400w thanks to Tim T and big boy Dave for the hook ups🐠.

I didn't realize how blue this bulb really was wow any how I may just mount some blue LEDs and not even put any t5 we will see....

So I received a new toy in the mailbox yesterday super stoked I installed it this morning will see how this thing runs but so far I am quite happy with the results. I tested the various modes that is infamous with the jebao line, ended up sticking to wave mode at 50% power, 60% speed and quite happy with the motion on top. This thing pushes a decent amount of water across the 30" width of the tank. May have to make some real time adjustments when euphyllias are in though but safe to say that the CP40 is enough to do a 90g cube, on a 6' tank maybe 2.

Just a small update the tank has been cycling for awhile, got some hair algae that is slowly been coming off in fluffs. Have a strong cleaning crew that works 24/7 like 7/11....

I think about 8-10 hermits and 12 astrea.

I added a few fishy friends, JL loves me.

Achilles tang
Yellow watchmen
Oronate wrasse
Fire shrimp
Blue Chromis
Ring Cowrie

From before I have a Clown.

Also got a few sps frags and been slowly transferring sps from my other tank down.
In August I will transfer the rest of my Lps down maybe sooner as I've been really busy with Renos on my new condo in Burnaby.
