Awesome tank Greg! Can you post your equipment and regiment on the tank or is there somewhere I can find it possibly your past totm feature. If your equipment/regiment is on that link can you update us on any equipment changes and regiment changes?
Thanks! Bill

. Here is a fun question; what dose in (ml) off Ca and Alk two part based on say a Randy Holmes 2-part would you guess it takes per day to feed a beast display like yours? Anybody in touch with their inner chemistry ego care to make a guess.... Not looking for Ca reactor as answer, more a ball park quantified consumption guess..... Awesome system, thanks for sharing ....

Thanks very much.
Equipment is listed in that article but here is the updated list - there are just a couple of changes but still very basic.
Return pump - Reeflow Dart
Skimmer - Euro-reef RC500
Powerheads - Vortech - 4x MP40WP & 3x MP60WP
Lighting - 3x 250 watt 14K HQI, 2x 150 watt 14K DE, 12x 4 watt T5's, 1 Radion LED fixture (used in an area of approx 2 feet square to replace a previous 250 watt MH pendant)
Doser - Fauna Marine "GHL" stand alone (got rid of the GHL controller -had issues so I traded it in on the stand alone doser since that is all I really used it for anyway) I dose Randy's 2 part recipe except I use better quality chemicals than he lists, I still use Arm & Hammer to make my "soda ash".
RO unit - BRS 300 GPD
I took out the closed loop along with the Hammerhead Pump - replaced the flow with MP60's and the water temp dropped 3 degrees F.
I have been forced to change salt from Reefer's Best to H2Ocean due to a lack of availability.

I'm not up to the consumption I had a few years ago with lots of big colonies - back then I was dosing about 2 liters (quarts) per day each of alk & ca. I am only about 1/2 that right now.
I don't have a 'designer' name for it - I believe it to be M capitata.
Hey long time no see. Thanks for looking and I look forward to seeing you in the near future.
