Did some work over the weekend setting up the mounting board over the sump. Mounted the dosers and energy bar for the pumps and lights that will not make it all the way to the main board.

I also built a tempirary light stand for the refugium. Im having an aluminum stand welded that will straddle the refugium and support my deniteator. Ultimatly i will end up mounting the light to the bottom of the stand.

Lastly i put all of my mangrove pods through styrofoam and now have a floating mangrove island....

So i still have quite a few things to get set up on the tank but for the most part im feeling better about where it stands. I checked all my perimeters this afternoon....

SALINITY: 1.025 (RED SEA REFRACTOMETER)
PHOSPHATE: .25 (API)
NITRATE: 10 (RED SEA)
NITRITE: 0 (RED SEA)
DKH: 7.5 (RED SEA)
PH: 7.8 (RED SEA)
CALCIUM: 420 (API)
MAGNESIUM: 1230 (SALIFERT)

With a few minor adjustments im hoping to start adding corals in the next two weeks.

I would like to get some par readings in my tank and was considering buying the Seneye for that function alone. If anyone has a par meter that i could borrow to take some readings i would greatly appreciate it. Beers are one me!

With the foam for the island, doesn't that stuff have a metal lining? Just mentioning if it does may want to use "regular" styrofoam. Otherwise, looking really good. Loved the video.

It does have a reflective surface on one side. I'm not sure if it was metal or some kind of plastic. I need to reorganize And re shape the island anyway so I'll change it out. Thanks for the heads up

Been a while since I updated. I have added a few zoas, some LPS, and two RBTA's. other than a phosphate spike a all has been well. I did a little wire management and cleaned up my control cabinet. Here's a few pics
