Well finally cycling up and in ugly brown phase.
This cycle has been rough. Fought a >200 Nitrite battle and excessive nitrates which I'm not sure if it was real or the nitrite skewing results.
Gotta love filling a tank twice.

Innovative Marine 100 EXT

Reef octo classic 152
Helio controller and 2 200watt titanium heaters
Added the magnetic holder for them as the suction cup did not seem like a great way to go
2 x Reefi Uno 2.1
Adding a glow blade it is in route
Maxspect fx350 gyres

The gyres are moving the sand a little so I'm keeping at 30% or less.
Thinking about adding a powerhead in the back wall. Would love an MP40, but this thing blew my budget a couple months ago. May just add a Jebao for the time being.

Decided to use a 15U rack for power control. Added a drawer for test kits. And mounted controllers on a add on board I mounted to the back of caninet.

Well. Got the tank cycled and adding frags and fish. Got my ATO set up, they really should make those wires twice the length, splurged on the Innovative Marine 15 gallon and got a Duetto2.
