Well I've already met a few of you awesome reefers on here, and have bought a pack from a vendor even!

I have a 65 gallon tank powered by two generation 2 radions (hopefully able to upgrade them to gen 3 if they come out with upgrade capabilities)

I will break down the particulars of my tank for everyone..

Salt

I have used probably every major salt out there, ESV has always been the best in my tank. When it was acro heavy before my crash, I never had a water problem and all of my corals loved it!

Additives

ESV Bionic Alkalinity and Calcium
Thrive Bio stimulant - 1 ml every 6 hours
Acropower - .25 ml every 6 hours
Zeovit Flatworm Stop - 1 ml a day
(No I do not have AEFW, I've experienced other benefits with the product)

Equipment

Radion Generation 2 - x2
Vortech MP 40 - x2
Bubble Magus Dosing Pump
Tunze Osmolator 3155
1/2 HP Chiller

Corals (light right now)

Sticks- Tyree TriColor
ORA Strawberry Shortcake
ORA Red Planet
ORA Rose Milli

Chalices - WWC Blue Sherbert
Jose Casas Super Girl
Tyree Bubblegum Monster
Pink Martian
Rotten Watermelon

Z's/P's - Blood Oranges
Grey Matters

Subscribed, do you have to turn your mp40s down quite a bit? I'm setting up a 67 gallon similar dimensions and I'm trying to decide if 2 mp10s will be plenty for an sps dominated tank, But now I'm thinking of going mp40 lol. Can't wait to see more pics of this build!

Right now I have them dialed back to around 40 percent on nutrient mode, before the crash they were closer to 75 percent because I had a lot of huge colonies. Won't be getting that high for awhile, going all aquacultured frags.

My thought process behind it is I'm eventually going to upgrade and I like a broader flow than a direct flow.

Only okay picture I could get with blues on my phone! This is probably my favorite chalice I've ever had, next to the jelly bean chalice.

My second favorite coral, this baby has been growing for a year in my tank. Ready to frag her!

Will you be getting a dslr camera? I've seen some in walmart less than $300 but I need lot more skills to make that purchase justifiable.
