WWC Skittles Favia, love this thing. Colors are just awesome.
Few more photos from the girlfriend's tank. It's shaping up nicely!
This anemone is huge not, I've had to move a few pieces around so it wouldn't sting others.

NEW TOY!!! Thanks to @topshelfaquatics in Orlando. Recently got a new car and decided to drive north for the hell of it. Picked up the Apex DOS from them while I was up there. They had a very nice store set up, full stocked with nice corals. Definitely recommend anyone in or around Orlando to drop by them.
I sold my Stenner for this more so due to control. This will be doing a water exchange between my main system and the Cube tank. It also gives me room for expanding my system if it ever comes to. I had to run a new set of RO lines from the pump to the tank, I'll take some pictures over the weekend and upload.

The BUG has bite me again. It's beyond an obsession now for me. I tore apart my electrical panel, changed out the Apex unit for the newer one with the fancy stickers. It's an OCD problem since I gotta have the newest gadgets. As of right now, the wires are a complete mess!
New plans are in the work for a 200G tank. This should be a fun project. Custom stand, sump,... big plans for it. Hopefully it will be a nice grow out/display. I've been good with my tiny display tank.

Been sketching up ideas for the new system. This will be independent of the current system but the cube will be plumbed in with this system.
First custom sump I will be having built. The local acrylic guru Matt Dudely will be building it to spec. I've got my current stand fabricator working on the stand now, it should be done in a week or two. It's going to be a long drawn process, the tank I picked up is used and not drilled as I would like it. New but used tank is 84"x24"x24" which is approximately 210 gallons.

New toy! Too bad I don't have a tank ready but I'm slowly getting the equipment together.
Trying out the Coral Box Cloud 9 skimmer. Rated 200-400 gallons, I should be around the 300 gallon range. Can't wait to see it in action.

Found some lights for the new tank. Picked up a 72" version of the Aquactinics Constellation fixture from a good friend. This should be a fun project! My plans for this fixture is to remove two channels of T5, maybe the second to the outside bulbs and retro in some Reefbrite LEDs or DIY royal blue LEDs.

Few other tanks that are connected to this same system or have been around.
50G cube that is independent but the Apex DOS does a water exchange with it.

Few fish that live in the 56G, they may get transferred to the 210G.

Nice, I want a piece of that Stylo lol! Hurry up and get that big tank going, it looked awesome in person. It will be a sight to see when you start stocking it. Are you going to tie it into the rest of the system or run it independently?

Multitasking again, got working on this mess below or rather it was more messy then what you see.
After:
I MIGHT frag it soon. The 210G will be tied to the 50G cube tank, so it will be two different systems. That way if I have issues with one or the other I can have a back up.
Thanks but I wish I could take credit for building it myself. A local builder does my stands for me.

Another project!
Been had this 40 breeder tank sitting around for oh... a year. Decided to put it to use, I'll be plumbing it in with my current sump on the 56G set up. Hopefully my math is correct and physics work out. Did a quick drill on it and mounted the bulkheads. Same will be done on the other sump once I pull it out later this week. An overdue cleaning is needed on that sump as well. Good thing I have a lot of space to work with now that I have the 210G up and running.
Also picked up a few toys from a local reefer who shut down his tank:
Apex PM2 w/ salinity probe
100G silo for RO/DI, can never have enough on hand. I go through RO/DI like its nobody's business.

What are you going to use the 40gal tanks for exactly? Fuge, extra frag tank, something else, or you just plumbing them in to act as temporary sumps while you clean the actual ones?
