110 tank build

[Lynnmw1208]

seems like you went a little fast adding things to the tank. An anemone should really be added after the tank has matured a little, around 6 months. Just make sure your water parameters are in check. I'd also look into upgrading that protein skimmer and get something rated a little more than the tank. For instance, I have a 125 gallon but I run a skimmer that can handle up to 200 gallons. I don't know if I like the idea that you aren't using any powerheads as I like the versatility they give by the ability to redirect flow, but that's jmo.

Any other stocking plans?

Rocks have been in barrels for two years. Tank has been running since October. I did not move it into the house until about two months ago. My dump and fug system is now over 150 gallons and is in the basement . I also now have over 200 pounds of liverock in the dump filter got my ago working perfect. I do 10 gallon whatever week with a 25 gallon monthly addition. There are no atoms or soft problems as of yet and all perhaps have been 0 over 3months. I am not ready yet for spa but the lps is doing great

I'm not trying to be rude my system is still in the working stages. My maturity for my tank is well into good parameters since I bout the system into the house I have not had any ammonia or phosphate in my tank wetness checks. I am still working on a new hood for the tank to handle better lighting. I am curing lots more rock in the feller of the house so I can ad more water to my system. Water temp swings have been only 4 degrees over 24 hours. Was looking a gallon a day due to evaporation now I have the ATI going with the rotfl/Di running. I also have 30 gallons of fresh start with 0 tds. My mg levels are running right at 700and calcium is around 800 I have been doing a little doing every few days to get them at that point. Since I started doing cocaine has been going at a nice rate. I am hoping to start introducing the new livestock to the system in the next few months as I slowly ad more water retention to the filtration. I hope to have close to 250 to 300 gallons total system by next fall. More water means more stability. As for water flow I have two alternate pumps both mag 3 that are pumped up into my hood and over my tank to dirrct water to other areas both are on timers for different currents during the day. The large pump will also move water thru 2 fumes to slow amount of water moving thru main system. I am trying for max 1800 gpm constant thru the day. I know sps wants water pristine so I am going to make carbon scrubers. I do still need my reactors and i have built a larger skimmed. It alone hold 15 gallons of water using a mag. 9.5 mag and airpump
