Updated Apex Firmware
Added More Biopellets
Started thinning out corals and moved to new frag tank
Change salt to NeoMarie to Support ULNS
Added Red Hawk, Achilles, Powder Blue, shoal and about 10 Green Chromes
New equipment apogee par meter, Milwaukee electric refractometer

Future:
DIY C-Channel Cree Led system - looking to go with a multi-color combo.
Add cooling to canopy

Nice Beethoven in the first vid... though I prefer the Chopin in the second personally... How'd you like Great Lakes Aquarium? I'm looking at going to them for a new cube tank...

Looks awesome and thanks for sharing...
 
Absolutely stunning. Look forward to new photos as you figure out the white balance. Santa is bringing me a new camera for Christmas. I can't wait to play with it.
 
Your tank looks amazing. I am getting ready to build out a 300 gallon 10 foot long tank. I am glad to hear you love SRO 5000. I purchased mine a few months ago.
 
I just read through the thread once more and I am pretty excited about my build since it is very similar to yours. Seeing your tank and its amazing colors, growth and number of live stock really give me hope to have something that looks like yours some day. I don't have the room for a fish room and everything will be going under my stand, so its nice to see that you can have an amazing tank like yours without a fish room.

I am curious to know how all of your tangs are getting along. I would love to have an Achilles, but people on RC said I would have a hard time with my Sohal. Do you have any probllems with your powder blue and the Achilles and/or Sohal?

I would love to know more about your plumbing set up. Is there anything that you would change or add about your purchases under the tank.

I have a 6' 180 gallon tank that I am looking to convert into a sump, which would leave me about 4 feet to add all the other goodies. You menntiioned that you can't keep alage in the fuge since your paramenters are so clean. Couild you explain a little bit more about that.

Do you have any build photos or photos of when you started your tank that you could post? Did you purchase larger coral pieces in the beginning to get things started? It looks like you created a lot of places to put your corals in your aquascaping design.

Once again, great job and I look foward to following your thread.

Hi dont mix te Achilies and Powder blue. I though that having them two different sizes it would be okay. the Powder blue destroyed it. It was pretty sad.

Below is my full build thread on another fourm. Check it out and let me know if you have quesitons.
