Inherited 90 gallon MarineLand wave front tank with 15 years established community. Very basic setup when I got it in October of 23. Since then have upgraded to a complete Neptune Apex 3 pro system, 200 gpd RO/DI, 10 gal Trigger Titanium ATO W/ Tunze Osmolator 3, DOS QD performing 6 gallon auto water changes daily from 75 gallon mixing vat. 3 DOS QD pumps for dosing (6 reservoirs) running ALK (soda ash)…no current dosage and ALL FOR REEF dosing 10 ml/day. Lighting is AI Hydra Edge 44 HD (par is questionable), 2X AI Nero 5 on opposing ends, Reef Octo 150 Classic skimmer, Eshopps sump w/ 2X 4x7 rectangle filter socks ($$$) Testing w/ Neptune Trident and Trident NP. I don’t really know what other info to provide but I have so many questions and as I have found…hiring professionals seems to be a throw of the dice. I’m excited to pick the brains of those who are in the trenches of this beautiful but sometimes heartbreaking endeavor.
