I finally got the Dosing Pumps installed and programmed last weekend, and it's pretty bad ***! 
Each Saturday evening at 8:30pm, 30 minute3s after the lights go out and the Actinics kick in, the system will begin feeding 90ml/3oz of MicroVert which takes 1.5 minutes. 30 seconds later it will begin dosing 90ml/3oz of ChromaPlex, and then again another 30 seconds later it will begin dosing 90ml/3oz of ZooPlex.
Once all 3 of the coral foods has completed their feeding cycle, the 4th pump will turn on and push system water to cleanse the dosing lines for a total of 5 minutes. In order to assure that the system is never clogged, this routine is programmed to operate every night at the same time.

For cruising, I'm a Harley man, but that new ride you picked up is gorgeous!!! Congrats!
Before you attempt to *bash* my toys, please at least try to know what you're talking about. I've never owned or even shown a picture of a Harley (Kawasaki Nomad shown above), and my "wanna be sport bike" was never intended to be a full on crotch rocket since it's a sport v-twin, and it certainly hasn't been around since you were 12...
Being that I too am 44, I can very matter of factly tell you that the first bikes to even come close to this class, were the Kawasaki GPZ's and Honda Intercepters which didn't appear until I was in highschool, and they were inline 4's. Yamaha had a couple bikes, but the most powerful of them was the Seca Turbo in 82-83, of which I personally owned one. Their top performance bikes didn't appear until the mid-80's... Just sayin! :hmm4:
Let's compare aquariums, shall we..?

I sold bikes for 10 years honda, suzuki, kawasaki and yamaha. I owned harleys and will tell anyone here and yourself the nomad or vulcan 1500 or 1600 is the smoothest riding bike ever! it really is. I would never own one as not my style of bike but its the best performing best riding bike known to the cruiser world. Sorry to off subject aquariums just I know bikes all kinds. Just my .02

The Nomad was incredibly smooth, but I think a lot of that is due to it's weight. I could ride it all day with a stiff crosswind and monsoon-like rains, and it would never wander even an inch. That sucker could track through a Cat-5hHurricane without being remotely intimidated!
Now, the Nomad has absolutely lost out to the Cross Country. If you've not had the pleasure of riding one yet, make a point to do it, but only if you're in a position to drop $20-25k without batting an eyelash!!! It's very commonly being referred to as being "quite possibly the most perfect bike ever built"". These aren't just my words, as I've seen it on forum after forum from people who test rode and then immediately bought one.
I've already done a little bit of performance work to mine, and am at just under 100hp!

What a build! For a tank this size it appeared to go rather quickly too. Did you add any additional fish to the tank?

im trying to convice the elders to upgrade to something BA when we move, post some FTS's so i can convince em! ill skip on showing them the behind-the-scene shots
one question, ive been getting into and reading about turf scrubbers for tanks. i have one on my 75 reef while i have a SWC 120 on my 55 fowlr. im getting the same results with the ATS compared to the skimmer and it has half the price so im curious why you havent tried a scrubber. never heard of them or something? dont blame you, a freind showed me his a few months ago lol. im thinking of trying an ATS if i get a tank as large as yours.
why did you go with the 36" height instead of the 30" height glass cages also has for offer? if i upgraded it would most likely be a fowlr (cheaper), but im not sure if the extra 6" in height is neccesary. thoughts?
