i got the icecap v3 salinity checker .. always accurate... i was dumb enough to think my old manual refractometer was ok until everything was in check and double checked with a second brand of tests .. ♂ Lessons learned .. the sr-80 is really nice .. the stand is diy from ikea .. i wasnt gonna pay 1200$ Canadian for a aps stand in black .. so build one myself cost me like 280$ canadian dollars with 2x3 wood, screws and the kitchen stand in white... Now im just waiting for the tank to mature.. acans died, torch died, frogspawn died.. still got my zoas and my 5 RBTAs .. sixline jumped.. replaced him with a scopas tang and yellow coris wrasse

That’s an easy one! Kessil!
All kidding aside, the new Radions look nice! Are you planning on one or two XR30’s? If only one, I would go with 2 G5 XR15’s Blue.
I hate the mesh top .. i find it ugly imo ..
i already run 2 x HD Prime for now its fine but wanting less shadows and more par.. Hydra 64HD would be a good choice but dang those new xr30 gen 5 blue are tempting
Dude! The stock mesh top works, but is unsightly for sure. I’m actually used to looking at it now and it does not bother me as much as I thought it would. The cool thing is, when I get the new one that sits recessed, it will look sleek and streamlined. Check out Octoaquatics website for the pics of the lids. Definitely worth the price. Now, as far as the Radions!? They are worth the price too. Ecotech makes top of the line products and we all know it, hence the price lol. I would go 2 XR 15’s or 1 XR30. Just not sure about the spread. Seems like there would be more spread with the 2.
Are you stan reef on IG? LolGood to know thanks for the reply.
Yes hahaAre you stan reef on IG? Lol
Me too! I have an IM 20 on a stand build from ikea kitchen cabinets but with this size of tank I imagine that you would need to reinforce the structure.Nice setup. I am in Canada as well and I am looking into this tank. Would love to get the details on how you built the stand.
Its a 2x3 wood reinforced Ikea corner kitchen cabinet, i dont have mesurements, but i built it so the ikea stand slide fit on it,Me too! I have an IM 20 on a stand build from ikea kitchen cabinets but with this size of tank I imagine that you would need to reinforce the structure.
