Took three bigs up to Scheels 16k+gallon tank over the weekend, emperator, yellow belly blue, and a big sailfin. They are rocking!! Coral busters out, SPS frags in!

glad they got a new home and now your coral will be happy to!

Added a wave engine and 4 - 280 maxspect gyres for some additional flow! Hate the cords love the flow!!

 

[dca22anderson]

So I figured out that it’s not going to be easy to fit the 600 in the room where I wanted it to go and with waiting for parts from the builder for way too long I have decided to put that on hold for now... I removed the platform and exposed the two bins so they could get more attention!

 

[dca22anderson]

I love the top down view and I love feeding the fish like they are in a koi pond. This will be fun for now and I can focus on detritus suspension in the bins for cleaner water. (With the platform on top it was hard to see in there and access each corner)

How much time do you spend in your fish room? I'd be in there constantly ! ! !

How do you like the Hydros wave engine, been contemplating one but not a lot of feedback on them?

As much as I can! It’s my wind down place!

Because I wanted to run 4 Gyre 280’s and I already had MP 60’s it was a great solution to get them all talking together. The app on my phone was easy to set up and provides full controllability. I have them all ramp up for the first 10 minutes of the hour on a “Hurricane“ mode then back off for 50 minutes of “Reef Crest“. Easy to set up and easy to adjust the output of each pump from my phone. It’s working perfectly and I really like it!

Awesome stuff man. Thanks for letting us share the ride

Wow!! I don’t know how I never saw this before but I’m up to speed now. Everything is beautiful! How many kids can say they have a fish tank big enough to swim in?! Coolest dad ever!! How many gallons of water are you running? a 720, a 750? Multiple 180g bins, another 600 g being built soon? I lost track! What type of rodi set up do you have? Do you still have the Niger trigger?
