Amazing tank. Do you still get shimmer with the Kessils with the T 5 's? I've heard that T 5 cancels out the shimmer.

Less is really more. Normally I don't like tanks with a small stone structure. But yours grown out just perfect. Love the simple way it's looking. Your reef looks very happy and healthy!
Thanks mate, it's only been running for about a year so should look good in another years time :)

Awesome tank, really enjoy your thread!
Thanks :)

This is one my favorite tanks! I've followed you for a while on Instagram. It's great to see the specifics of your tank. Nice job, Charlie.

Thanks mate, Instagram is always good for quickly putting updates up of my tank :)

From memory it's about 400l all up including sump, I'm a bit slack with the KZ dosing these days. I'm currently doing larger water changes of about 30% weekly which seems to be working better anyway..

'' GO' Reef !!!
Thanks :)

Yeah, still a bit of shimmer, I'm not the biggest fan of too much shimmer and wouldn't like a tank with only LED so the t5-Led combo (with mostly t5) work well for me :)
Looking good keep the pics coming
Thanks mate, I'll try :)
dayyummmmm .. great growth budd!
Thanks mate :)
Nice setup and great looking stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks :)
Wow! It looks amazing!
Thanks :)
question, how did you attach your Kessil lights??
Just with small wire that's attached to the ATI hanging wire and swaged to the right length, I'll grab a pic soon :)
Looks amazing, even for a cheater Aussie!
Haha thanks mate :)
Wow, stunning tank! Less is indeed more.:)
It's true, I do sometimes think the tank looked better earlier on, less than six months old, and that its starting to look a bit cluttered... I'm considering removing a few large pieces soon or at least trimming them right back..

Thanks mate, Alk is kept at 130-134ppm, phos always comes up as 0.00 on a Hanna checker unless I feed heaps then it may read 0.01. Nitrate usually sits around 1ppm, if I dose aminos on consecutive days it may cream up to ~2ppm.

Hi Char lie.
