Edges are becoming darker because of the growing SPS colonies, so I am going to add a fifth hydra 52HD in the next days.
That is one amazing looking tank you got there!
Do you have a build thread somewhere?
By the way, your photography skills are very nice to say the least.

Thank you!
I do have some older pictures but in a brazilian forum (in portuguese). If you'd like I can send you the link (can I post it here?).

Great looking tank man!
Question for you, you said you use a 6000sss skimmer. That is rated for 600 gallons, and you have a 150 gallon set up. Does the skimmer perform constantly or does it sit idle sometimes? Do you skim wet or dry? I only ask because that is a large oversizing of the skimmer, but clearly your tank is amazing.

Still looking fantastic!
Might be time for you to exercise your passion and take some top downs and macros!
please...
Are you still using biopellets?
Are you using any additives? Aminos or trace elements?
Thanks!
I am using pellets in a skimz reactor.
Aminos and carbohidrates every other day and zeovit stopflatworm two times a week (seems that acros extend their pollyps more after I started using it). Iodine and potassium when necessary.
I'll take some photos this weekend, ok?

Thank you Corey!
I usually do not recommend an oversized skimmer, but got this one in a once in a time deal.
It seems to me that 600Gal is way too much for SRO6000, at least for a heavy stocked tank. My entire system is around 200gal and I'm using it 24/7 without signs of overskimming. I prefer a dry skimmate but can't tell you any real advantage of doing it.

Thanks. I'll try to wait until then!

I love bengals
Man I feel like I got punched in the gut! Beautiful system! I think adding another led fixture will be a great step. It looks like everything directly under the lamps has amazing growth but the less light areas didn't grow as fast. Please update a FTS for us after you add the other fixture. How much flatworm stop do you dose every time you use it?

Thank you Piper!
Dosage as KZ recommends: 1ml / 100L or 25 gal.
I have already purchased the hydra but am supposed to have it in the next 2 weeks. I'll update this topic FTS as soon as I have it installed!!
