The octopus is the 200. I havent done any mods just yet. Not sure if I will or not
I buy it by the gallon for the tech. I have started now to do the kalk shot glass method. Cup of cold water and 1/8 of kalk and just dump it into my tank at night in the sump.

A little update:
Over the past few weeks I have had random bleaching problems going on with chalice, lobos, donuts, and a few lords. I could not figure it out. Well last week I found the cause I believe.
My lifeguard digi thermometer was reading 78-80 but the tank felt alot warmer. So I got my temp probe from downstairs in another tank and my tank was sitting at 83 when the old thermometer said 80. So it was 3 degrees off and sometimes would hit 82 which means 85. Im really ticked I didnt catch this sooner I lost some really nice corals from this.

Beautifull corals man! Top-notch!
Hope everything works out from the heating issue. Another reefer on Michigan Reefers I know had a very similar problem. Makes me inclined to put a couple extra cheap thermometers in my tank, just in case.

Thanks guys.
Well the corals that were bleached are recovering now and regaining their zooxanthelle.
I have added some new fish to the tank over the last month including
Male Flame Wrasse
8-line Flasher Wrasse
2- Sunburst Anthias
The 2 wrasse seem to have developed some flukes so I am looking into seeing if prazi pro is coral safe.
I will have some new additions coming thursday I think all of you will enjoy.

flow question for you - you have a vortec and that large return pump yet it seems like your tank has very low flow because of the overall expension of your corals. are you taking the pics with the pumps off thereby making it look like there isn't much flow or do you have everthing dialed down that much
about what is your turnover?
