Looking good! What is that thing on the other side of the wall? Looks like a massive indoor grill!

Ha yes it is. 1959 Mid Century Modern home. It has a gas line and hood. We haven't cleaned it and ran it yet though!

Nate, what kind of sump is that? That is very different from my 350?

It is the Reefer sump. It's the Version 2. They updated them.

I love your light setup!! I have an AP700 as well and wondering how you attached it to the fixture?

I took the ap700 screws to a hardware store and bought longer ones. Worked great.

Latest ICP test below. Colors are still relatively pale, but getting better. Feeding 3 times a day, but maybe not enough! Alk has been very stable at 7.8dkh. Growth is good.

I'd like to have a little phosphate, figure out why my silica is high, and manually bump up the calcium a bit.
