Introducing my home 17k gallon reef

@Hedgedrew66
Are you running UV? I didn't see it in the YouTube sump visit.
Looking at adding a Pentaire UV 25 watt to my system, hope the wife doesn't see that bill, lol

I just lost my spotted kole and 2 clowns do the ich. Seeing you have a bazillion tangs in there, got me wondering if you are killing them with UV.

Everything looks awesomely complicated and expensive!

Do you have to premix kalkwasser with ATO daily? @Hedgedrew

Are you dosing kalk into the 17k reef currently? How does that effect alkalinity with limited/no consumption? Or is there so much coralline algae growth that it is consumed?

Only dosing like third max dose into 50 gallon evap water. We need to also add some bi ionic alk part too every day for alk depletion of sulfur reactors. Alk stable at 9 ca 450.

Ohh yeah, the sulfur reactors, I forgot those used up alkalinity. Cheers

No we see it. The tangs fight with tangs. And butterflies with each other. Have a whole corner of butterflies who get pinned in corners. Next dive going to try to get them out.
