This tank is new. 2 months and it's an upgrade from my previus tank. I have always used LED since 2008.
Started with the awesome Ecolamps KR-92 and then jump tp AI SOLs in 2009.

Thanks again and visit my tank.

Feel free to send critics as well. I love to learn.

Not really hydra realted, but I almost lost my yellow tang today. I found him sideways in the sand today when I was doing my b/w water change. I freaked out and scooped him with the net, and put him in front of the mp10 . Somehow I reoxiginated him and he came back to life. Omg wife would have killed me. I mean he was out, 0 breathing and saw him go into fish shock. Now im proud to say he is swimming like nothing happened .

Roberto, sorry but I have no clue what ORP means brother sorry. Please explain

Organic Redox Potential. it is how we read how clean the water is. the ability of the system to dissolve organics in the water. If I understand it correctly.
