1000S Gen2 we’re officially wet!

Finally got everything hooked up and running as of Friday the 29th! Went with the Redsea 1000S running Radion XR30 pros for lights! So far I’m loving it still trying to get the overflow dialed in along with everything else!

Small adjustments on the valve and wait several minutes between adjustments.

It can be frustration but once you figure it out its easy.

It is in the manual under Main downpipe valve adjustment....

To raise the water level in the overflow box, rotate the valve clockwise. To lower the level in the overflow box rotate the valve anti-clockwise. The main downpipe flow valve provides fine control of the flow rate however making adjustments it takes the system a few minutes to stabilize at the new setting.

I got it pretty dam close at this point. Once I turn the skimmer on then I’ll probably have to readjust it

Still rocking along quite well! On Thursday of last week I did a 16oz bottle of fritz turbo start and added two small clowns and two dwarf angels. Ammonia has been below .3 to non detectable from the hanna checker. Neptune systems stuff has been delayed a week but so far all is doing great! Now I need ideas for this rock in the center coral wise. I was thinking zoas but I may pivot
