So today I changed from Marco rock to well cured Bali rock! I did not think I would see immediate results. I might add I also did a 50% water change and used IO reef crystals.

Well since setting...

So for my next trick ;)

Big switch out this week!

Decided to dump the dry rock and go with some very well cured bali left over that Reef Aquatica has, this was a way too good find not to take up. So I am having 70LB...

There is a sticky at the top of the software forum ;)

well the losses became a bit more of a problem so we have set up a full QT which everything fish related goes through.

The system will be an invert/coral system for the next month or so while we...

Nope, there seems to be a myth about high TDS on start up, I personally after various tests never seen this and to be honest do not quite see how this can be, providing you maintain your unit and the...

So here is my auto water top off configuration for the aquarium, controlled by the GHL ProfiLux system.

The water is controlled by a solenoid valve seen in the photo, it is important to get these...

Yes for sure, right now its like a new toy, but will get bored of it, I get over 200 emails a day, I dont need to add to the count ;)

Good advise will set it up in regards to alerts.

Next step...

I now have email set up where the ProfiLux emails me directly (not via the PC) the Profilux has its own SMTP server.

I am getting an email every hour updating me of my sensor values. I will now...

The GHL Mitras LED coral test!

Photo uploaded is of a very sorry for itself looking chunk of what used to be green with purple edges plating Montipora. This is what is left from my huge colony. As...

Yes 36 x32

The mitras has massive coverage 36 x32 is a walk in the park for one unit.

One thing I would like to mention is the ATO and how it is direct feed from a solenoid.

BE VERY CAREFUL here, if you install them the wrong way round they will not work for long, jam open and...

So some pictures finally now things have settled.

The photos show the GHL balling system now in place using the 3 channel GHL doser, Bubble magus 5L containers which will be filled using Ocean...

Quick update then photos at the weekend.

I have a few fish in the system and had to retrieve what was left of my few corals from my LFS who was care taking them, they did not do too well, and the...

Mitras LED lamp hung! Please don't judge the colour! This is straight out the box no setting up what so ever, also crappy camera does not work well in this light.. Too tired. Will dial it in...

The tank is now half full (well nearly) the RO unit even though 100gpd is struggling due to the cold water going in, my water bill is going to be insane! I replaced the cartridges prior to filling to...

More updates to come this week, on the verge of filling ;)

Sump plumbed to tank.

The sump return line has been plumbed using 45 degrees bends to reduce the flow restriction of 90 degrees where possible.

The two drain lines have a 5% drop so there are...
