Cardiffgiant's RedSea Reefer 525 Build

Dialed in my schedule for my three radion G3 pros with TIR lenses. This is the schedule that battlecorals used to use.

Female anampses lineatus. I think it was listed as a black tail tamarin. I've never seen one in a store before. She's eating frozen and nori. I'm mixing pellet with frozen to get her acclimated to that as well.

I got the wantanabe angel and the wrasse from Coral Corral, which is an awesome shop! I got the Davinci clowns and assessor gobies from Drysdale aquarium, which is also an awesome smaller shop. I went with live aquaria for the purple tang, a two spot bristle tooth, and the foxface.
 
Well now I know where I can come visit those clowns. They were inches from becoming permanent residents in my DT, but I like my Euphyllia garden...
Great looking build - and that's really understated! The thread was just pointed out to me.
 
Thank you!! We're loving the clowns. They're color and pattern are brilliant. They're doing really well in the new tank. You've got some fantastic pieces. We'll be back in, and these guys might end up with a euphyllia garden after all.
 
We got it on Saturday. They had a similar one with stripes, but it wasnt as blue. Very cool addition. It's very social and very mellow.
 
Wow - this build looks excellent!

What a great looking skimmer - congrats on being awesome!

Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks Bobby! I'm still loving this skimmer. I put the varios 4 on it, controlling it from my apex, and the performance is incredible!
 
Did you get reimbursed fully from AMEX? I read that AMEX does $1K for their regular card and $10K for their elite cards.
 
Some photo updates.

I was wrestling with low Ph, so I decided to add a CO2 scrubber. I also added a solenoid (and a nylon keynar Y) to shift to regular room air when the Ph is above 8.2

Tough to get good pictures with an iphone. I picked up some light filters on ebay for $3.

I also received a shipment of a dozen or so pieces from my old system in Buffalo. A good friend was kind enough to babysit corals for me for nearly a year!
