Well, everyone made it. Had a few broken branches of some coral but otherwise all good.

Well, the tank is still doing decent. Had a bout of Cyano that I have been fighting off.. Have also found my love for Mushrooms, so now I am buying lots of them :p

Had to also throw a picture of the German in the mix. Laying in front of the blue lights.

Well, one of my Hydra 32HD finally took a poop. Decided to make the plunge and switch to three Kessil A360X. So far I love them. The interface was a bit different to get used to but that simmer is great.

Very nice setup. I’m in the middle of my 750xxl setup and going to be using the td/a360x hybrid setup that I had on my 120 again. I went back and forth between selling and buying radions but the shimmer is addicting so bout ya bigger t5 fixture.

I got a question about your sump setup. I see you used silicone tubing for the return pump and looks like something else as well? How is that holding up? Also did you use 3/4in tubing? Not sure if the returns on the 525 and 750 are the same though.

Nice shepard. I used to train Schutzund years ago. Was going to get another but had an industrial accident 3 years ago and the dogs out of the picture,.
Im retired and just moved to Citrus Heights. Currently setting up an IM 170 all acro system. I have been at this hobby since the late 80's. Looking to get to know locals.
I have been to only 3-4 local stores and not very impressed. John at Your Reef is great and I will be getting sticks from him.
Just started a build. I have purchased some sticks from Aquatic collection before but dont know much about stores in this area.
Anyway nice system.

Thanks. Im a stick head and they had nothing that interested me. Anyway I will purchase most online. Your Reef had sticks I would purchase but my system is a month or 2 away from starting.
They had a good fish and invert selection so I will use the depot for that.

How did the corals react to the switch from Hydras to Kessil? I went with Radions for my recent build but I am jealous of that shimmer.
