A Reefaholic's 1000+ Gallon Mixed Reef System Build

[Dustin1300]

Based on above, if you have experience with Vibrant let me know. I'm willing to give it a chance as I want Cyano to DIE. I'll try to get an updated DT shot, I suck at taking them!

Think this was from earlier this year after some neglect.

Congrats on the kids. They are in a tank all on their own. (I have a few)

What model pump? I am looking at items for my upgrade/build.

Dustin ever consider an ATS for algae control?
Tank looks great man.

That's a pretty nice sucky shot.

That took me a minute to comprehend. Mine says 47. Then I realized that I modified my default back when I started and doubled the page length size. Makes for easier reading and pre-caching.

Yeah I guess it is quite a few pages. Full of all sorts of information.

Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing page 48.

Been a long time since I posted, or even logged into RC. Who still has large tank up from along the same time?

Lies David! At least you've got wide range of spectrum with all those Radions

No really I sold everything. Guppies and Platy's.
And plastic plants. In spring I'm going to get rid of Platy's. They keep eating my guppy fries

Your tank is nearing the 6 year mark, don't start thinking about quiting!

David, I need to see pics!

In regards to my tank, I'm a minute away from tearing down. I was in accident in September of 17... Tank was on cruise control for almost a year and was not even able to make it down to basement or able to carry out maintenance. I've lost good majority of livestock and just need to sell the quarter I have left. Had a few times where I've got into mood to try to turn around but had ups and downs of turning back around and not worth it! Likely not going to stay in current house more than a couple years, so hard to put all the effort to rebuild just to read down! Large build in future?

Sorry to hear that, hopefully theres enough people around to take what's left and hold it for you.... I won't lie, I'm happy that I took a break, and from all my experience, I'm able to do things smartly. However you didnt have many hiccups with this build. Sad to see the old timers lose interest.... it makes me have second thoughts with all this money I put into my current build, I'm dreaming of the days that I have large colonies of acros and being able to sit back and enjoy the cruise control stage.
