Hello guys,

15 years in the hobby :)
Time to share my setup on here

It's a 200X80X70cm (80x32x28") built in wall that I started October 2017 but did a restart with liverock March 2019 as I wasn't pleased the way the tank was running on RRR.
It all started like this :

After a while it looked like this:

I decided to restart the tank as I got issues keeping SPS alive even though my ICP test didn't reveal any issues in the parameters.

This is my tank as it is today :

- Aquarium controller : GHL Profilux 4 + KH Director + ION Director + GHL Dosing pumps

A short story about the tank, more pictures will follow later on

Grtz,
Matthijs

How are you enjoying the GHL system? I’m looking into it as I’m currently running no controller. Specifically interested in the KH Director
I'm very happy with it! I'm using the KH Director since June 2018 and my first ph probe is still functional :)
Measures consistently and asks allmost no maintenance, at this moment it measures 4 times a day.

Grtz,
Matthijs

How do you keep that monty in the top right in check? I imagine with good water parameters it must grow like crazy.. Does it encrust over everything?

You’ve got some nice gear.

What is RRR?

I cut it from time to time like I did today, it's an easy to maintain/cut coral.
