This use to be completely organized till we had slight issue with finding parts.This is the result when your trying to find a 1 1/2 elbow fitting that you know is somewhere in the pile. Im sure we have all been in this situation where your not sure if u have what your looking for and refuse to go to home depot! Heres the result...

Here are the frozen foods i tend to use. I tend to feed frozen food 2/3 times a week. I dont particuly have a major preference on frozen foods i try to switch it up to keep a good variety in the mix. As for rods food i think the original is better for me only since i have alot of herbivore based food in most my tangs diet as it is so a bit more meaty food is a bigger variety not to mention helps along with my other fish who dont appreciate the heavy veggie diet.

Only used this product a handful of times i figure it cant hurt to mention it. Alittle pricy and i cant contribute to any major growth gains from using it but i have also seen a triggered response from sps when using this product for a decent period of time.

We replaced both of the rubber maids bins with brutes due to both of them having leaks after 6 months. These are far more sturdy and id like to believe can take more abuse.
 
Another note to mention is the solenoid for our calcium reactor has seemed to of done its time. This reactor is roughly 5 years old i believe the part is a decent chunk of money. From the looks of it this part has been needing to be replace for years which would explain why we had some issues with keeping our alk high and steady. Now we plan to get the part at some point but we both agree this would be a good opportunity to try 2 part again. Personally i want to try to keep harder more delicate sps corals so i believe 2 part is the best solution to accommodate that goal. Were looking into buying BRS Soda ash and BRS calcium chloride does anyone have any experience with this particular product when it comes to how long a gallon of each product lasts you? Esv is the only 2 part we have used but since that's a liquid solution it would cost way to much to meet the needs of our system. Any feedback on the topic would be greatly appreciated we already have good dosers just need to make a decision on what 2 part to use in order to see if its a viable solution for us.
 
Its that time again been pretty busy and decided to finally make time for some updates so here we go.

Moved the mp40 to the right along with moving the center prime sps rock further back to allow more real estate for future sps corals.
