Awsome display. I like the design and use of the agrocrete.

Awesome aquascape. Lots of room for those corals to grow into too. I responded in your other thread in the SPS forum about the SPS dying off...

Well a lot has happened in the last year including a complete crash caused by a faulty float valve on my auto top off. This was in Feb I believe. I’ve since:

Restocked- bought a few colonies to fill out the tank
Swapped out the g6 in favor of a Bullet 3
Added 50 lbs on Marshall island live rock
Upgraded to 400w Radiums soon to be Helios
Upgraded to a Dart return
Hooked up my Ca reactor
Added a second skimmer(G4x)
I think that’s it, I’ll post some new pics this weekend!

As much as I want to add an auto top-off. I have read to much about system crashing due to defective top-off

I checked my water level at lease twice a day. I also have a little sign when my water is low. I start seeing bubbles coming out of return tubing.
So when ever I see tiny bubbles I know I am low.

The litermeter is a safe way to go. It pumps in a set amount so matter what.....

LOL go back to the first tank shot in the thread and look how much it grew in a year! I have it in the lowest light section of the tank and it grows like a weed, its become an issue for my flow patterns....
