Thank you. It has been up since January of 2007, has gone through a few different aquascapes.

really cool, let us know how the sps respond as time passes

Just added the 9:45 am and 8:15 pm timers tonight. It ran a week with just the 8:00 am and 9:15 pm timers. So far so good.

Sweet!

I can see some dark bottom area...Im not sure if the rocks block light...

Do you keep 40* or plan to swap for 70* ?

where do you place carbon pad, phosphate pad?

Is it homemade or order online?

is it worth it?

Are you using a Reefkeeper to ramp your LEDs?

No plan on going to the 70 degrees yet, want to see how it lights up as I ramp up the intensity.
Here is how I set up the rear chambers.

No, using the AI controller.

 

[Fishinfool]

Looks good!

 

[Jakef150]

cool! thanks for pic draw

 

[keithrett]

How do you have your AI sol set up for storm mode? Do you have a controller (RKL...)? or did you just use the stock AI controller?

Hey Spanko,

I haven't been on the other site in a while. Nice to see the LED change.

The tank looks great like normal. You have your tank down patt, that's for sure. Keep up the good work.:beer:
