Everything looks awesome! Set up, corals, fish, definitely TOTM level! :thumbsup:
Could you share your current measurements, maintenance routines and nutrient export method? Any coral supplements?
What are you using in the in-sump reactors and for biological filtration?
How new light fixture and Ca reactor compare vs previous?

Thank you!
Thank you but I think the aquarium is still far away from the TOTM level.
Here are measurements from September:
The measurements were taken when the old Ca reactor was turned off for a month and the new one just started working. That's why Ca is extremaly low.
I make 120 l water change every week (or two). I use Instant Ocean salt. There are 3 filters (2.5 l each): Rowa Phos, active carbon and Reef Interests biopellets XL. This month I started using Aquaforest microelements and coral suplements. Hope it help to get better colours.
New lighting seems to be much better than the old one. Although there is 2 T5 bulbs less aquarium is much brighter. I noticed that corals that are placed near bottom started to grow. I put the same T5 bulbs so I'm sure the change is caused by the lamp.
My old Ca reactor was simple DIY, had some leaks. I really needed to replace it. The new one works good. Its only weakness is the noise caused by dosing pump.

Beautiful Reef.
Nice tank.
Quick question. I noticed you have a Maxspect Gyre on the side there. How is that working and what do you have it set on? If you don't mind me asking. I have a 240 that I'm setting up and trying to figure out how I will use the one I have. I think I'm going to use a pair of Sea Swirls on the returns so was thinking of placing it similar to the way you have yours. I am having difficulty picturing how the water flows when the overflow is in place and the returns...

A bit fishy
This setup is SO cool!
Great attention to detail. I am slowly removing my sand too, unfortunately I would have to find a new home for my Potter's wrasse if I wanted to remove it all, and we love him so it is a tough decision. The SPS love the flow and lower nutrients that no-sand provides!
Keep up the good work!
