I do like the Red Sea Reefer series so far. the only complaint that I would have is that there isn't enough room under the tank but there are a few things that I could resize to make more room like the reactors for one.

The fish seem to be happy and do get along for the most part. The White Tail doesn't like the starry blenny and will chase him/her at times and the royal gramma's do not like the multicolor fairy wrasse (I am glad that I added the screen top for sure).

Colors look solid to me. I'm no pro at figuring out how to color sps up to give you any input there. I can understand the sump space issue. You just need to get a 525 and then you will have just enough room.

. I really like having the seperate part for equipment so I don't have to deal with electronic stuff dangeling over salt water and i'm able to keep it locked up from my kiddos. Keep up the good work.

thanks Marius. color is my issue because i do have some brown color corals. the browning came when my phosphates where higher(3+ months ago) then I realized and over time, some of the coral are returning to their colors but are taking a much longer time then I would think they would have taken. I guess I will just wait and see how things go. The corals are not dying so that is a good thing and there are some corals growing vary fast.

Great to see this update, glad stuff is growing well.

A long overdue update. This is the sump area or under the tank area overview. Will be doing overviews on the DT and eventually my water changing station over time. Enjoy

Thanks for the update
How do you like the EVO4 doser?

cflow · 04/10/2018, 01:37 PM

Nice setup. I like your gyre orientation.

The EVO dosers are working like a champ. Calibration and programming them are very easy and the recalibration is very close to the previous rotation amounts. I highly suggest them

Well, I caved in and added sand to the tank. My next video will include the main tank. With that, the orientation of the pumps had to go to the ends and towards the top in a horizontal direction since the pumps were pushing sand all over the place when place vertically (had the pumps at 60-70% when in this orientation because the flow would hit the glass and bounce off and lose steam). I did like them vertically and were hidden in the back.

I broke down and ordered a larger tank. 525 XL on order. It's kinda your fault... And thanks!

This time it is the display tank.

Australian Gold Torch was added yesterday. Definitely one of my favorite corals.

Looks great. Can you tell me how those sapphire (springer) damsels are behaving?
