It's powerful, i'll give it that. I find the controller a little lacking on features and its a little hard to figure out. The german-english translations are a little tricky. I wanted to place it in the back to help give a little turnover to the SPS back there. Right now its on the Wave OK mode.

I cannot stop looking at my tank from the side. I never had it viewable until I moved the tank. Water is so clear!

Thanks! I've been happy the tank's progress the last few months.

Set up another tank yesterday in the office. It's a little African aquatic frog biotope.

New addition, my brother-in-law broke his tank down and I took his 3 year old leopard wrasse.

Tanks doing well, kind of on auto pilot now. I'm out of room and have had to limit my livestock to match my fish's voracious appetites. They seem to be hard on acros but leave stylo, birdsnest, and other types of stony corals alone. Right now, I'm doing occasional water changes, feeding the fish, and routinely add the basic zeo life support additives. I'm adding other zeo additives based on my coral's appearances but not stuck on a schedule. It's nice having a tank that I can just leave alone and enjoy.

The leopard is doing great. He's playing with other three wrasses in the tank very well. Still thinking about adding a pair of tobies and maybe a different genus of angelfish. I really like convict tangs too, they are just such terrible shippers and need a long QT period.

No critters, but you can find a lot of life in the raceways. One of my reefing friends stocked her entire coldwater tank. Heres the link to her tank
