Thanks, yeah I got flagged a few times on YouTube for using copyright music, so I chose one on their music list, and they're all pretty generic

Can you give details on your QT setup and process? Also, did you make the SW mixing station in the garage?

For fish aquired from the LFS, I do a 4-6 week quarantine. And water changes from my main display, I only medicate copper if I have to, but always use prazipro for 7 days. Before I put in the main display, I use safety stop 2 part dip for 1.5 hours and do a 10 min freshwater bath, then onto a acclimation box in the main tank for another 5 days. Also most of my fish I get from the LFS are special ordered and I instruct them to call me when the fish arrive and have them leave the fish in the shipping bag and I pick them up that way.

Fish aquired from a TRUSTED fellow reefer, I just do Safety Stop 2 part dip and a freshwater bath, then in to the acclimation box.

As far as the mixing station, it's set up in the laundry, which is the room directly behind my display.
 
Awesome build! I'm a big fan of your work. I posted on your FT build about those awesome clips and sent you a PM, so I'm kind of stalking you lol. :)

I'm currently racking my brain on my lights and seeing your path has been similar to mine I'd love to pick your brain a bit and your 2 tanks have the 2 setups I'm considering. Would love to get your feedback!

I started with t5, then went to kessil 360s, then to a combo of the 2 with the kessils being the primary. I now want to change to t5 with led support and trying to make up my mind if I should buy the Power Module or run the Sunpower with my Kessils.

One thing I have really gotten used to with the kessils is shimmer. After watching your side by side videos I was not seeing much shimmer from the PM once all the t5s were on.

My tank is 150G and 62" long. I am thinking about the 48" PM and putting a kessil on each end for the shimmer and also because the 60" PM t5s are not dimmable. Should I care though? Do you use the dimming at all or just use the LED for sunrise/sunset? Or I go 60" and screw the kessils?

Thanks for any help and or feedback you have from your experience!

Thanks,
~Mike
 
Been a while since I posted, did a reboot in March and took out about 100lbs of live rock and sold off over 50% of my sps, cause I was running out of room for my fishes to swim and wanted to buy more fire and had no place to put them.
