So far I really like it. It's been about 2 years now I've had it with zero issues. I have noticed in the last few months that the flow has been slowing down but I think that might be because the pump is in need of a good cleaning. That will be happening very soon.



Haha thanks! If only it was as sinister as bane hahahaha
Thank you for the inside knowledge

Very nice updates, George! Your sticks look very healthy, colorful and happy.

Thanks Tim! I feel they have a bit more to go but everything seems to be trending in the right direction!

Canon rebel XTI. These shots were taken with a Tamron 90mm/f2.8 macro lens.
Nice I bought a cheap dslr off of Craig's list to see if I would enjoy taking photos.

Well I do so how do I convince the wife to buy a 700 dollar camera??

Also what program do you use to "touch up" ur photos.

I picked this one up a few years back from a pawn shop. It turns 11 years old this year, it came out in '06. I'm hoping to upgrade soon, I'm thinking a t7i.

I just use the photo editor that is on my MacBook black. Nothing fancy but it works well I think

Great picture update! Fish and corals are lookin' good...

Thank you! I'll have some more pics to post later today. I have to go to a baby shower (or sprinkle, whatever they call it lol) to help load up stuff.

This piece I'm not sure what it is. I got it from @mdbannister and he said it came from @Battlecorals maybe one of them can chime in with an ID. This piece looks awesome in person though. Pic thru the glass doesn't show how nice it is, top down a little bit better.

Looking great, man!! On that unknown from Battlecorals, I'm thinking it's the Soda Popinski (which is one of the frags I got from Adam back in 2015). I'm super stoked to see it's growing out for you! I need to get a frag from you at some point. :D

Thanks Freddie! Enjoy the thread! It's a roller coaster ride for sure lol.

Did some testing tonight.

Alk is holding solid at 146ppm
20170605_020037.jpg


Nitrates went up a bit in the first 2 weeks of zeovit. It tested 12 on the red sea kit testing with the high range. That's 1ml of tank water and 15ml rodi.
20170605_015620.jpg


So I've added 250ml more zeolite and bumped up the reactor flow a bit. Other than that I won't make any changes. I'll test again in a few days to see if it dropped any and then proceed from there with dosing.

Dude bad butt set up. I really like the idea of calrx incorporation on your fmm. I'm going to utilize that idea as well!
