Don’t need them yet but went ahead and plumbed in the reactors. Both aquamaxx reactors, one for bio pellets and one for carbon/gfo. Both hard piped back to the main drain area. I’ll work on cleaning up the sump and redoing the apex board to accommodate the aqua medic doser this weekend. Trying to make room for the simplicity dosing container underneath the Apex.

Finally got my switches in the top left of the stand programmed in to Apex. The left 2 switches are constant locking switch, one for shutting everything off and one for the skimmer. The right switch is a momentary switch for feed mode. They are all constantly lit with a separate 12v plug.

Went to the LFS for some r/o and ended up getting some fish and an AFS. Got 6 anthias and a lemon peel to add to the 2 clowns. Picked up a used AFS for $20 couldn’t pass it up. Got a new skimmer stand from reefing art too.

Couldn’t leave well enough alone, had to redo the controller board. Still have to install the dosing setup but I think the new board looks good.

Got a clean up crew and some branching coralline. Also set up the dosing system. Done working in the stand, pretty sure I’m out of room

Today is 5 weeks since water was first added. Down to just 3 anthias and 2 clowns, got rid of the lemon peel. 3 of the anthias have died not sure why though. They look healthy and

the next day one will be stuck to the powerhead. Also have a decent Dino outbreak, turned reactors off for now and shortened light times.

17 weeks after adding water. Had a problem with stray voltage from a ground probe. Finally added some new fish (mustard, sailfin, bristletooth, and naso tangs and a mandarin) and the clowns are in timeout in the sump. Hoping things improve with less stray voltage

Added some rock a couple weeks ago, looked a little empty with the bare bottom. Also swapped the hydra 26’s for 32’s. Had to turn off the bio pellet reactor and shorten refugium light time to try to get some nitrates.
