So the reef went through a major update in the last week.
I invested in an Apex Controller and built a custom cabinet for it and my electronics well.
Waiting on a couple modules including the WXM, DOS, and FMM.
But so far the reef is running itself.
What do you think?

Monday Night

My SPS is doing fantastic.

Not bad for someone who knew nothing 10 months ago...

That makes sense, i was going to say there is no way you found the hole covers in orange.

Whole setup looks awesome, nice work. What kind of anemone is that?

Really cool watching this from start to finish and great progress throughout the whole thing. As a beginner myself, it's nice to see that the community is so helpful. Good job!!

It was a hitchhiker on the rock it’s on. It showed up around month 8. Size of a dime. I’m assuming it’s a rainbow. Then again I don’t know.

The tank is coming along great! Thanks for the tag and for using our foods, we really appreciate it.

Ok so I did a thing..
won a frag tank at Reef A Palooza and decided to plumb it to my sump and utilize it in all its glory.

Plumbed using 3/4 Durso with 3/4 pvc to the fuge. Waiting on a few parts for the return and we’re ready to splash.

This 29 has come along way since being just a FOWLR HOB filter tank.

What do you think?
