Nice tank build. Are you transferring all of your 90g stock into this one?

Thanks. Most of the coral will be represented in some way but leaving a bunch for someone that will hopefully buy the tank. Probably getting rid of the Majestic angel and on the fence about the Yellow-bellied Hippo - seems to be getting a little too aggressive.

Growth really stepping up in the sump! Time to trim again. Chaeto/caulerpa anyone??

Also, added on the frag tank about two weeks back. Allowed me to clean up the substrate of frags and start growing out in earnest. Lit with a Hydra52 HD which seems pretty great so far.

Nice build. Describe you ca rx setup when you get around to it.

Also, s your frag tank inline with you display and sump or is it isolated?

Of course!

Frag tank is currently in line fed from the return line that's driven by a hybrid Hammerhead/Barracuda pump. It's actually on the counter next to the sump and I set the drain line from the frag tank into one of the filter socks in the overflow drain chamber. Sump can easily be isolated and act as a coral Q/T if needed though it isn't quite practical for that purpose - mostly about grow-outs.

As for the Ca reactor, I've got an MTC Procal dual-chamber waiting in the wings and I'll pull from that via a Masterflex dosing pump (specifically a 7550-30 that I grabbed used on eBay a while back). Planning on running Reborn along with Zeomag and will monitor the effluent via an in-line PH probe with the APEX.
