Are you saying that Reef Octopus is making aquariums now too? I hadn't heard about that.

It's been a while but I have a few updated pictures. Been battling trying to keep my alkalinity up but everything else with the tank is perfect so far.

You mentioned trouble with Alk.. What are your numbers including Mag and Cal?

Everything looks GREAT!! I love your scape, I'm sure your corals are getting a lot of benefit from the flow through patterns. I wish I could get more flow behind my rock structures.

Edit: Is that a $500 Efflo I see?!?

Yeah my tank sucks it up but it's because I'm running a sulfur denitrator. My calcium stays around 460 to 480 but I'm having trouble keeping my alkalinity above 7 dkh. I haven't tested my magnesium in a while but it was over 1300 the last time I checked. Haha I wish it was an efflo but it's just a random table acro.
