well been on here ALOt and figured it time to start posting my own build.....
Starting off with my basement. With the new house purchase having a 4 level back split made it a perfect time to get back in the hobby.

Starting off wit my equipment setup..
48x18x18 starphire glass rimless tank
48" 8x54 watt Ati sun power lighting. This thing pumps out the par.
2 Jabeo RW-15 power heads
1 Jabeo doser
42x18x18 3 compartment sump
Vertex 150 skimmer
Reef keeper Elite
TLF 150 reactors for gfo and carbon
Vertex reactor for pellets.

Nice aquascape, I like the mix of two different rocks. Its really hard to do but you pulled it off and it looks original. With good coral placement and considering coral growth patterns it should look great! I also have a thing for t5 and carbon source tanks right now so I am looking forward to how it turns out.

Thanks I've got lots more pictures on e I figure this new camera out.
At the moment I've taken off my bio pellets because a lot of my corals were getting pale. Just figured the tanks was to clean so I remove pellets and carbon and gfo for 2-3 weeks. and thing are looking better now. Just added gfo and carbon again but no pellets yet...

Please pardon my camera skills i was to excited to post my updates before i figured out how to us the dsrl
After collecting and being very lucky to pass the major reef shops here in ontario it time for an update...
After figuring out how to run a bare bottom system I'm finally starting to get some nice colours. i bleached a couple pieces and played with a couple other things. I started dosing aqua vitro and it seems to be working great...

Great pick ups on the RR Canada frags. I'm fortunate enough to have picked up quite a few RR Asia frags from AoA and a local reefer that were already colored up and 8 months later their color is even more intense. Keep everything stable, be patient and yours will get there.
