Equip looks great. Is your rockwork complete?
Personally i think it needs to match the 'epicness' of the tank

LOL aqua scape is the last thing I want to do. I need to finish plumbing first, make sure the tank stable with all parameters think about what corals I want to keep then I can aqua scape. This tank will be more LPS dominant so a lot of the corals will spread out on the sand bed.

well, I re do my plumbing and now I have so much more room to stick my hand in the tank compare to before.

Before

After

Well finally I bite the bullet and order a custom co2 regulator front Alan Le and I love it. My alkalinity is rock solid for a week set it and forget it.

Yep. You won't regret it. I built my own, but based it off if his design. He was a huge help when I built mine.

I'm officially jump on the t5 band wagon after chatting with some master reefers over the weekend.

Smite · 04/24/2017, 05:33 PM

Looking killer! I made the switch over a year ago and my corals reacted very well. I'm sure you'll love it.

Yeah after talking to Nick and others I decide to switch now cause my tank is new and the corals are in the frags stage

mike810 · 04/24/2017, 11:53 PM

Nice setup Anthony and great choice of equipment! I too am going for an RE theme on my next build. Already got their dream box and equipment ready to go. Just waiting on my tank from CD to get here. Exact same dimensions as yours. What part of HB are you in? I just moved here last August and love it here.

Edit: I could never leave Seaside empty handed either. Great place for fish.

Hi Mike I move to Irvine and rent out my HB home. The cross street is Adams and magnolia. Good luck with your new tank need any help just let me know

Well finally I think my tank is stable turn off GFO for a week and phosphate testing today at 0.02 and no more algae. My secret sause is 3 drops zeobak and 2 ml zeostart3 per day. With a big volume like my system it will be expensive if I have to rely upon GFO to keep my phosphate low so the zeobak and zeostart3 only cost me 160$ for a year supply

Are you running socks? I couldn't run sock when I was dosing zeoback and zeostart3 in my old tank. The socks would clog too fast. The combination did however keep my po4 very low. Are you also using the zeolites?

I'm changing my filter sock every 3 days that's my routine before and after i didn't notice it clog up, since my sump is out in the open changing socks is no big deal that's what im glad to do this time is to place my sump in the open space instead of underneath the tank. The only different is my skimmer smell worse. I don't do full zeovit I use the AF zeomix stone so I don't have to agitate everyday. The polyps extension is incredible with the adding of zeo products. When the Monti digita is as fury as a tenius then I know the water is at its best.
