Looking good. Are those new reflectors in the canopy or did you have them on the previous tank? The Elites.

Looks great Mr President. Like I told you before, "once you're a president, you're always a president." Just like Bill Clinton, George Bush, etc are still called President Clinton, President Bush, etc, but I don't think you get to keep the secret sevice & bodyguards.

LOL. Ide rather consider myself from now on as Eddie. Tomorrow marks my last day as President, and we have a very capable crew taking control.
I will now be The MACNA Guy, and trust me, the new BOD and I will give FMAS the BEST MACNA EVER!!!!!!!!!

Since on another thread ther have been questions, i might as well answer here since this is the current tank. the other thread was from 2008.
OK... update.... The corals where growing out of the water until maybe 8 months ago. Thats when my FULL attention had to go to MACNA 2013.
Most of my SPS started suffering and I could not quicly fiqure out why. Instead of loosing them, since i didnt have the time to fiqure it out, I GAVE them all to one of my friends. He has them in a holding tank and nurturing them. I wiull eventually get frags back and grow them out again.
Regarding microbubbles, i still have them. Im almost sure the culprit is the return line sucking up air just before the water level in the Loc Lines. I already have SeaSwirls ready in my garage to replace the Loc line returns. Hopefully this will resolve.

Bring it back from the grave yard. LOL, your micro-bubble could be more of a pump issue if it's an external. The seals could be pulling in air instead of pushing water out.

Could be RPS. I already installed the SeaSwirls and still have microbubbles.
However for one reason or another i disconnected my skimmer for a day a few days ago, and noticed less. Was in a hurry thought so dont know for sure. Im going to check that out.
By the way the Reeflo is less than 1 year old, and from the beginning ive have micro bubbles. Although i bought reconditioned fro Reeflo with full warranty This could of course be a problem anyways, just not sure how to resolve.

For those that havent seen, I just installed an automatic water-change system. Check Dr. Thompsons thread for that info.
I will be doing daily 1-2% water-changes automatically.

Less doesn't mean it's not there. LOL, see how much a rebuild kit is. Might as well give it a try.

After helping bmanzie take his MONSTER tank to his house, and hearing Gasman is coming back, I remember my build.
Take a look at post #94 to see what real colonies look like. Colonies INHO are not these 3" things other folks frag from. Colonies are what you see in post#94, page 4 of this thread.
