Are you still running your Reeflux 20ks?
Yes, I am.

Following build, setting up my 180g tank. Any updates?
Nice plumbing! I have to ask, when you first fired it up, did you have any leaks? If yes, how did you fix them (remove the section and replace, or something else?)? If no, how did you achieve this? No matter if I glue 24 feet or just 4 feet of PVC I end up with at least one leak.
How many VHO's did you replace with how many AquaVue LEDs ?? Were you using only the actinic blue's or or whites aswell !?!
I replaced 2 4ft HO VHOs with 2 - 28 LED models. They are only the blues.
Thanks, I suppose it gives you a full length coverage. How do you see the difference from the VHO's
I just received 1L of the new Warner Marine EcoBAK pellets to experiment on my personal 180gal display. I have been intrigued about the solid vodka dosing for some time know and with the a company like Warner Marine entering this market I just had to give it a shot. With work and summer activities my tank has taken serious neglect so effects of this product will be easily noticed and I plan to keep everything controlled for 4-5 months to evaluate this very promising product. If it works like I imagine it will this will be added to the list of common reef necessities like GFO and activated carbon.
A little about my tank, equipment, livestock and maintenance.
I have a standard AGA 180 gal with a 75 gal sump. The sump contains a DSB of about 8" but I no longer have any macro algae. I have a Reef Octopus XP3000ext on the system and only use activated carbon on occasion. The systems circulation is provided by 3 MP40 Vortechs. I will place the new Warner Marine EcoBAK Pellets in my ATB media reactor and will feed it off of my manifold that is fed off my Reeflo Dart return pump. I plan to test the water parameters tonight and place the media on line.
Here is the most recent shot of the 180gal with the LEDs on. I will get a more up-to-date shot tonight to document the results.
