Right now my return pumps are doing okay. I don't have any coral in the tank yet since it's in QT still and I'm still acclimating my tank to the lights. I picked up two radion g1 xr30s from another reefer on here and so I've started at 10% maximum brightness. Today I'll probably go up to 15% and see where we are at. I'm going to get a par meter and do a bunch of tests and various brightness and see what the par is. I'll post results if anyone is interested. I'm looking to get a Skimmer that will work in the tank. Right now I have a really small Skimmer that I've opted to run in my 16g biocube since it seems that it's a better size match for that tank. The next things I'm wanting to upgrade is probably the heater- or at least add a second one and start making some sort of controller for my equipment. After that I want to upgrade my powerheads to something with variable flow. I don't have a ton of money so it's all slow and steady and finding the right deal right now! I did also add an ATO from Amazon and it works really well. The only thing is that salt creep covers the sensor sometimes and it makes it think that it's full and doesn't refill- better than over filling ! So I might move my return for thr ATO so it flows over the sensor and washes it off essentially. We'll see if it makes the sensor thing that it's full when it's being "washed".
