output line to directly in the return area. Also insulated. Return a little low on water that day. :). Didn’t top off the top off.

The heater pictured is not used. I just store it that chamber. Lol.

Here are my other additives Ca, Alk and Mg. Plus the UV. I took the Mg offline and used the last channel on the doser for phyto. Water changes keep up on the Mg and I don’t have to add it.

I took the chiller out of the wall space. Didn’t need it.

I no longer dose phyto. So that part of the Cabinet is all the empty flasks. But here’s a top down from yesterday. This is before the daylight came on and from the end of the peninsula.

To share some more, here is my anemone splitting in progress. I was very lucky to get the picks. Surprising how fast it was. It was over quick.

Mg is back online also. Still have the UV running. Got a new bulb after a year. I have also put the CO2 scrubber back in. Huge difference now. I have to admit alk on my trident days 6.5.
