We will have to set it up. I think I have your number, so I'll text you.

It all looks great Chris! New growth color varies on SPS, some are pale/white on the growth tips, some have the most color on the new growth. Just give it time, if it's growing and has PE it's all good!

Looks like you have a blue thumb! :thumbsup:

The tank is looking good.

Chris,

Do you have any pictures of your algae scrubber that we discussed at the frag swap?

 

[Chris Abbott]

Have to do some maintenance tomorrow I will post some pics of the sump then.

 

[Chris Abbott]

just a pick of the overflow fed waterfall scrubber for Tradewinds. I put disposable filter pad in the basket below, in addition to providing some mechanical filtration it makes everything extremely quiet.

 

[Chris Abbott]

the overflow is a three pipe BA style. The third dry emergency drain is not in the photo. He water spray is abnormal an dude to the screen not being cleaned for two weeks. as you can see the growth at the slot is over a half inch thick cause water to shoot side ways a bit.

Chris, thanks for sharing the photos, looks like it works great.

Does the algae scrubber produce much salt creep?

 

[Chris Abbott]

If left to long without cleaning like in the pics above it can be an issue. Designs that have the screen lower in the sump prevent this issue. When the screen is not overgrown very little spray is produced.

 

[Tradewinds]

It certainly appears that your tank and coral respond well to the unit.

Also got my mini reactor online for when I want to run carbon for a bit. I don't use it all the time. Still working on mounting the controls. I took the swinging doors of and am adding a single panel to make for better access and have to get some double sided tape to move those were I want.
