Beautiful tank and landscape. I will be following along with great interest.
I see we share three passions:
1] acros
2] leds
3] Sportscars and LMPs

...don't forget;
4] foolishly chasing the ultimate set-up
5] spending foolish dollars on fish
6] spending foolish dollars on race cars

how is everything going with the tank?
Still dosing acropower, if so how much daily?

The tank is growing out ....(never quick enough!!).Fish and Coral are happy.
Coralline is growing out on the glass panels(which I use as an over-all gauge of biological health) I will post some pics in a few more months to show off a little.
I am still using Acro Power at 40 ml per day. I know I can go much higher and I will gradually.

Be careful what you wish for! At some point you'll be fragging OFTEN and you'll start dealing with crowding, insufficient flow (compared to now), and shadowing. It'll be a whole new set of challenges. I noticed when my corals started to fill in, they also became harder to keep happy. Once I massively thinned them out, they all began to look better than ever. Now I really dig having a small number of large colonies.
Bottom line... we need another FTS of your sweet system!! :0)

This is why we love reefing

The sump is working great..I built a nice simple design. 24" x 60" and 20" tall.
It is industrial grade PVC

TL; DR: Temperature can alter how that probe reads. I would assume that the probe or the apex do a correction, but I could be wrong or it may not be calibrated properly.
oh and the tank is looking really great!!!
