Ah, so automatic, 12 times. How much time does it leave between dosing the other elements when setup like that?

See where it says to always dose at 12am?
That's the first dose, so for each additional pump I add 30 minutes. 12:30, 1:00, 1:30.

I want to run the new radions so bad. But I need atleast four for my tank. So I'll just enjoy yours I guess. Thanks for the new pics. I've been waiting for those.

When you view your tank are you usually standing or sitting on the stools in the kitchen? I'm curious if you'd be blinded looking at the tank from your sofa or something?

I'm usually standing in front of it.
When we're on the sofa watching tv the tank is behind us.

Sir, I'm curious about the Triton results. Could you provide some of your experience with it so far?

Anything specific you'd like to know?
Right now things are just humming along.
Tested today. Alk was 8.1, Calc 430 and Mag 1280.
Everything is dosed in equal amounts. Easy peasy!

Tank is looking great! I know that you are using a LIfeReef skimmer again, SVS3-24 if I am not mistaken. Question is, which pump do you have connected to it?

Still using the Mag 9.

Dennis, am I right in the G4 doesn't have the typical heavy shadowing of LED. From the photos it looks far more diffuse than it would normally appear.

I won't speak for him but if you look at the first couple images to me there is apretty big halo / splash on the wall g4 side.

It does seem to alleviate some shadowing.
With the light over two completely different halves of the tank, and still having mostly small frags, I can't say it was a HUGE difference yet but there did seem to be some.

As saf1 pointed out, the light on the wall shows how much more spread there is before the light even hits the water. It's still going to be a cone shaped beam of light, but imagine chopping off the top (pointed) section of that cone. More "diffused" is probably a good way to put it.
