first, thanks Shtefan for the complement. There is a "how to take aquarium photos" thread, part 1 and 2, in the photography forum here on RC and it REALLY helped me a lot.
Second.. Update time!
I've been concerned about the dosing setup in my system. I think I mentioned it before but in redoing my sump I wanted to drop several of the power-heads that were feeding reactors and skimmer and what not and use some of the "over power" that was coming from my return pump to feed these... might as well get the electrical bill down a bit eh?
So as it turns out, that part of the plan worked very well! However, the coral nutrients/amino acids and what not, which are being dosed into the sump are now being fed back into the display, AND back to the skimmer, reactors etc... basically reducing their effectiveness.
I picked up another 4-pump dosing pump for my GHL (bringing the total to 12now) and I plan to put it under the display and and dose directly into the display...
The Challange: For those following, you know me... you know that Form leads Function.. so i need to find a way to run 6 dosing lines (yes, more on that later) from under the tank, into the tank over the euro-bracing and not have it look like a pile of wires/tubes... that would be tragic given everything else is hidden...
The Plan: I cannot call it a solution until I try it... but from old photos on this thread, I can see the stud-work in the walls..
I think i can open up a wall without crazy work/fixes, and get all of the lines hidden inside the wall... then they can come out at the top of the tank, from the broad-side of the 2x4 stud and feed quitely into the top corner of the tank ...
I'm not sure I can get to this project this weekend, but it is my goal. I'll up some photos of the project... which will include (for now), 6 dosing lines in the wall and 1 GHL pump 25feet away from the head-unit, some kind of rack/stand to make it look pro..
