Very tiny update: Today starts the mark of a new adventure for me. Going to start dosing 2 part instead of Kent Marine additives. Going to let Fritz salt take care of minor trace elements, and use the BRS 2 part for dosing calc and alk. Let me know your experiences and if you have any tips or tricks for me :)

I also picked up a new millipora todag. It's the infamous boom corals unicorn snot millipora. It's a shame I dont have a better camera because this coral is absolutely gorgeous!

Small update
I ventured into the great unknown!
I got rid of the power center with individual on off switches and got myself an aquarium controller. Found a killer deal in a reef keeper lite plus. Two power bars, slx module, sl1 module and net module.

It's monday everyone! And I figured what better way to brighten up a gloomy first work day of the week, than with an updated FTS!

Im in the process of slowly removing the sand. The look of bare bottom has really grown on me thanks to @DSC reef
And to think, our next build might have sand....;Hilarious Gotta keep you on your toes:p Seriously though, to think our tank was an inspiration is very humbling. Thanks man.
