Hey everyone, I've decided to take advantage of this free site given to us by Gerwin for all my pics and tank parameters. That way I can keep track of growth and consistency of my tank. I'm going to take a bunch of pics later when my lights reach peak daylight. I'm going to do my best to take biweekly pics. I'm excited to see growth.

List of equipment on this build:

3 radion pros
2 48" t5s with lo ballast
2 mp40s
Reef octopus NWB 200 (hope to upgrade soon)
Brs single reactor for gfo
2 micom dosers dosing 2 part
2 Aqueon 300 watt heaters
Apex with ph probe
Wxm module for wireless control of my ecotech gear
Diy ato with Kalk in reservoir

Tanks dimensions are 72x30x24

This tank has been running for a few months now. I bought this tank by itself used. I cleaned it and resealed it. Drilled it with a glass-holes.com overflow kit. I really like the overflow. Silent and has such a small footprint. Smtwinn built the stand and canopy for me ( with help from yours truly) He has a been a huge help for me on this build.

I'm doing some water tests today. I started using these dosers for two days now. I'm dosing 2ml every hour of calcium and 1ml every hour of alk. Alk is 3.14 meq/l cal 425 ppm.

Eric photos usually have to be written with an r in the img portion of the string to size down so they will show up. I think Doug put a post up on how to do it. Easy once you figure it out

I added the r's to the string. Is that better Richard?

I'm picking up some new sps today. All of them are small frags. Hydnophora, pink stylophora, ad a blue millie.
