Totally. This was the difference for me compared to my last set up. I can change 110 gals of water in 20 mins from the time I START mixing the salt. And I usually am checking canreef on my phone while doing it

Thanks. That was definitely a "sweet spot" in the life of this reef.

I don't recall when I saw your tank but I seem to remember it looking 2010 ish. It's a struggle to choose a favourite look. 2010 was obviously amazing but I also love large colonies. I'm just missing sps in general these days so I'd kill for either at this point lol. Amazing stuff thanks for sharing.

Another thing to think about Brad, is removing rock. Over the last few years I've probably removed 50 lbs of rack from the display to allow the corals to grow taller without hitting the water surface. It is a huge pain but worth it I think.

I have surprisingly very little rock in there. Maybe 100 pounds total. I may look at removing a bit, although some of the colonies are well encrusted and I'm not sure I want to cut them off. I'll see what it looks like once I move some stuff out.
