Im about 2 months in now....hoping to get corals in around the end of the year. On my second week of dosing Microbacter7. Getting the parameters all in check...working on getting the nitrates down a little more and keeping them stable. Plan on adding AI primes or 32s...depends on what goes on sale around black friday

Loving the control board. Did you build it yourself? This really is a pretty tank, sump, stand, and display!

Thanks Neuratox
I did build the board/door....bit of a yard sale behind the door...but Im happy with how it all turned out
I also made the canopy...my favorite part. The light spill prior to the canopy was ridiculous...my nabors stated it looked an alien abduction was occurring in my living from across the street.
