Very nice. Look like you have great circulation.

Yes there is no lack of circulation that’s for sure! I designed the flow so there are a few different zones. There are 4 different pumps that serve different purposes and different flow patterns. :)

I like them and they are easy to setup etc.... the only thing I would question is super light hungry Acros. I know it’s capable of handling most everything else. [emoji4]

Now this has been up and running for 6 months? Maybe over the long term there might be some, but I wouldn’t think it would be anymore than any other tank. [emoji4]

In 4 years when the tank grows out, the picture will be even better[emoji91]

It might be a bit before that can happen. Right now I’m working 12-16 hours per day ... 7 days a week. [emoji23]

Any chance you can show the positioning of the pumps, their schedule and what you kept in mind when setting up

Do you use the pre-programmed light schedule with these lights and what are your full intensity levels? I am constantantly told that these lights are useless and cant grow anything but mushrooms and algae. Ive been using current for years with some success, but my coral never really have the best color.

Btw, I love the tank! Been following since the beginning and its awesome to see the progress!
