A little confused on what looks like a "whole house" water filter mounted on the right side of the stand. Looks too small to be an RO/DI unit, but as best as I can make out your tubing/routing, it's looking like it's plumbed in to your water line/supply and not your return pump. Or is that your media reactor?

Awesome job on the stand and installation of your componets. Got to love the installed lighting and the dosing meters neatly mounted to back wall.

That on the right side of the stand is the GFO/Carbon reactor and thanks for the compliment!

Water has been running for about 4 days now and parameters are...

ALK 11
CAL 450
MAG 1250
PH 8.39

I think ALK maybe too high and PH should be lowered? What you guys think?

Custom top-off tank 16"x16"x30" about 33 gallons

So i purchased this rock from BRS and asked if they can get the largest pieces if possible and so i got what i asked for... haha this flat rock is HUGE! Now thats great customer service

. I just wish my tank is big enough to put the whole thing in there... now i know where to go to get some rock

So finally... heres the aquascape! It might get changed a little once the corals are in though. I wanted to have as much space on the bottom as possible. Didnt want to put the corals too high either since the light is a little low.

20k radiums are awesome! Right now lights on are 2 20k radiums and 4 t-5 03 actinics. Pretty blue...

Wow, dont u think you have too much frags.. haha.. You still have room, huh.. I have the exact same size a 90g with the flowstar.. I have it plumb externally.. How is yours doing so far? I find mine to be a little on the loud side, with the humming coming from it. You have it submerged in the water, so i'm not sure if yours is as loud.. I have it all open currently and it is spilt with a T-pvc to two outlet.

LOL its actually even more packed as of today! Im stuffing more corals in there slowly...

My flowstar is great! i like it a lot, no noise at all not even a hum! I have a ball valve on there too but only turned it down like 30%. Everything is pretty quiet

Thanks!

I have a frag tank up right now but thats pretty packed to, its a 50g breeder. Im thinking about taking that system down as well but setting up a newer different frag tank in its place. So in the mean time i would have to stuff everything in the 90g until it is set up...
