Yes, I run pure Zeovit system, and the additives tanks were custom made by using acrylic.

It's a fine tank, I guess. I mean, I would have gone with 26 chromis...

Kidding...Beautiful tank!

p.s. - I do love how no one makes a peep about "bioload" or anything like that. A newbie who wants to stick 36 fish in tank like would get crushed. BLUE TANG IN A 4 FOOT TANK!!!!!

great tank!!! do you have a blue tang AND a powder blue tang? Saw them in the pictures but only 1 in the list, same thing with the hawkfish in the pictures (not in the list).

I think many SPS tanks have more bioload then mine. Technically, my tank size is more like a 6 foot tank since it is 3 foot wide, instead of 2 foot wide normally.

You are right, I think I copy my fish list directly when I posted in Sept 2015 since not aware fish dead, but forget new fish in.... and I do have two hawkfish and powder blue tang after Sept. 2015.... My mistake.

Beautiful tank. Well deserved TOTM. I read the write up over and over. Couldn't find your lighting schedule. Would you mind sharing how long you run your T5's and LEDs. And par values?

Sorry. My T5 combination is all ATI tubes and they are B+......C+......ABS......B+......LED.....A.........B+.......C+......B+

T5 light up 30% at 2 pm gradually to 100% from 5 pm to 11:30 pm, then gradually turn down at 12:00 am.

My new Kessil LED only turn on 70% from 8m to 11:00 pm, but for Kessil, I am not sure it is the best light schedule yet.

I don't have par measurement after adding Kesil, but there are some par readings when the tank set for about one month. Hope it help.

Tank looks beautiful. Any feedback on the KHG lab3 automated alkalinity monitoring device? I'm very interested in the unit. Do you have any more information on its release, price point, etc.?

Awesome tank!
When out of town for a week or more, how do you deal with the foam pad mechanical filtration? I have a 180 gallon with 2 filter socks that I need to change every 5 days to keep them from overflowing when they reach their capacity. Do you have that problem with the foam pad?
