600 Gallon Upgrade Build

Wayne do yourself a favor and get a Hanna Checker for your phosphate. Best thing i did. I love the RedSea kits and use them for everything BUT Phosphates, its an awful kit in my opinion and is almost impossible to read, it gave me the same reading every single tide. Can't beat the Hanna spelling it out electronically for you.

It's really worth thinking about when you're looking at investing so much in zeovit, you need your measurements to be accurate.
 
he's hanging with the zeo heads now!!! Forget the hanna checker spend a little more and get the martini phosphate test kit. Super accurate and consistent!!!!

I do have one. But I need something a little more consistent and accurate. I tested three times and got 3 different readings ranging +/- .04

I have been there quite a while. I was just getting into their heads so I know that I am approaching this the right way and making sure I am following the strict procedures.

I have been looking at that martini for a while. Probably over a year but at the time it was a little over my budget but I should be getting one probably in the coming weeks.

I love that school of chromis! I ordered an orange shoulder tang from LA last week and they shipped it yesterday I got today, they sent me 3 yellow tangs instead of 2 and 1 orange shoulder. I'm bummed, I like the yellow tangs and don't mind the extra one but I really wanted the orange shoulder. They are hardly in stock and that's part of he reason I ordered it.

I love your stock list

Yes they are hardly in stock but that sucks that they sent you a yellow tang. Stevie Wonder must be working in shipping because there is no way that you can't distinguish the two of them. I will be adding to that list with anthias and surprise fish.
 
Very nice, and I thought you had a sound problem with the video until I heard the clunk when you put the skimmer lid back down. Man you got that tank dialed in for stealth mode, way cool, I wish I could figure out how to get my smaller tank that quiet!

Wayne nice tank & fish... Where do u recommend getting healthy fish at good prices ..

I chose my fish personally. If they aren't eating I don't buy them. Unless there is one I truly want then I put them in my QT tank and feed until they start converting over.

Thanks sfs. To be honest the skimmer is the loudest part of the system. I wish the recirculating pump was quieter.
