Ray
Awesome set up. I thought mine was set-up well. I hi-jacked your thread just to show what I did with mine. I was thinking of adding a third 2 gallon jug for kalk, but after looking at your reservoir, I may have to get one of those.
Do you have any pics of your sump? Curious how you have it set up. Looking forward to the growth of your system.

Aquascape

Well have decided to changeout the liverock. I have given up on dealing with bubble algae and the neomeris. Here is a photo of the neomeris an also a start of the new aquascape.

First photo is the right back corner of the aquascape and the second photo as well. Third photo is the macro from hell!! That feeds on calcium!!
