Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Consistency
Great looking tank! What are your future plans with it?
 
Thanks gumbies originally the plan for the tank was to eliminate 3 separate tanks,include automation wherever possible, and to create ease of maintenance/no bucket water changes now that I have that pretty much accomplished I’m waiting on my first icp test to hopefully move on to adding coral starting with lps but eventually once the system gets older I want to be SPS dominant things are going pretty well so far PO4 is staying consistently low at 0.03-0.06 PO3 is about 11ppm and finally getting the skimmer to break in and function this week so I’m hoping to see a PO3 decline in this weeks tests
