Nice Tank!
Well the crash since the last update continued and I lost some nice sps including the tenius I was so excited about. I'm now running a sulfur denitrator and keeping NO3 under 10 and feeding like I used to. My colors aren't anything like they were in the old system. It was so easy before I'm a bit thrown off now that I can't get sps to grow and color like I used to. Life is busier now and the time I had for taking pictures is now used for testing and water changes. The rockwork as much as I like it is killing the flow though, if I did it again I would have it all set up a bit higher. I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

This pump placement works best for the scape. On long pulse anti-sync 100% otherwise the water just doesn't get pushed far enough. With the gyre running constant speed on the back to lift up the water column.

Using a tip from an old TOTM I have the skimmer exhaust collected by a funnel and piped outside. The sump room is small and smells much better now. Cuts way down on the humidity as well. And the skimmer intake is fed from a pipe to outside as well. Also adding a sheet of plastic over the skimmer outlet quiets down the splashing completely.

I cut my light fixture in half and put the AI's in the middle like they used to be in the last setup.

That tenius I really liked. Not a great picture but I thought it was neat to see how many pores are in it.

Thanks Pauly! That acro that might have some yellow is doing ok. About time to move it higher and see if it colors up.
