Some new items will be arriving next week. Ordered a couple of Zoas from WWC. I got some rastas and some WWC Twizzlers Zoas. As for equipment I have a GHL 2.1 doser, Apex controller, and the Radion XR15W Gen4 Pro with RMS Mount all on the way. I’ll post pictures as items come in and I install. Should be a fun week.

Nice! I ended up going with the XR15 G4 Pro and RMS mount and am very happy with it. One thing I am considering though is the light diffuser as the refractions are a bit distracting to me, but it could also be that I don't have any real color in the aquarium yet as well

Just installed the Radion XR15. It was very easy to connect with my reef link and I’m continuing to run a modified coral lab AB+ setting. Also got the Neptune probe holder put in the back. The rear chamber is filling up. Shouldn’t have anything else to add though. Currently it has a UV sterilizer, skimmer, ATO, Heater, probes, marine pure and floss in the intank basket and dosing lines. A lot can fit in the back of a Nuvo 20 if you are creative haha! I have one more order I’m waiting on to build my dosing containers. I also decided to grab the XR15 diffuser and a Hanna alk checker.

Dosing containers are built and I have the doser finally set up and running. The dosing containers are glass Voss water containers with a 1/4” bulkhead. Inside there is a 1/4” acrylic tube that connects to the bulkhead that draws solution from the bottom of the container. Everything tested great and absolutely no air in the lines. I really like this GHL doser so far. Right now it is just set up for calcium and alkalinity.

Just got back from Reef-A-Palooza Orlando! I picked up some @ReefWeeds art while down there! Also got lots of new corals from @joshporksandwich at the show. I had to stop in to WWC on the way home and ofcourse purchase a coral in the store!

First off, beautiful corals and photos

Second - I’ve been considering putting zoas onto my main rocks in my nuvo 10 (right now they are on a small branch rock and some frag plugs on the sand) but was worried they’d eventually overtake the tank. What’s your experience on fragging zoas off rocks you can’t lift out of the tank?

Some I just leave on plugs that are easy to remove and frag off of. Others are growing on the rock. Yes they can grow pretty quickly. I am just letting my tank do it’s thing and am not worried at this point. This tank is zoa dominant anyways. If you are wanting to keep them in check more I would just leave them on a plug and let them grow out.

Very nice! Following along. What does you light schedule look like?

I run a modified AB+. 5 hours of a whiter spectrum in the morning followed by 7.5 hours of a blue spectrum. I started at around 35% and now I’m at 55% intensity. If you want more detail watch the BRS/WWC videos as my settings for my sliders are exactly what WWC runs. I just run a lower overall intensity.
