Reefer 450 Build

Where do you have the hydros water level sensor mounted for your klir and how are you liking that setup?

I love the klir! It is awesome and kicking myself for not doing this auto changing filtersock thing earlier. It was easy to set up and coralvue has helpful videos on how to set it up if you need help. I have it hooked up to a hydros controller 4, which makes it easy to control. I highly recommend getting one

Any updates on this tank? How are you liking the gyres for water movement?

It has been a while and the tank has had some swings As expected when you set up a new tank. Things have finally settled and I have found the dosing regiment that works to keep parameters stable. Corals are now growing well and getting colors back. Will try to post pictures soonish.

Also I bought a 3D printer and it is game changing for this hobby. I think of something I need, design it and poof it is printed. Plus there is a cool thread on reef2reef that has already made programs that are very plug and print for all kinds of reefing things. Here are some things I made already. Individual shelves for Kamoer dosing pumps, tube organizer brackets and frag plug holders. I love this thing. The sky is the limit. Best $200 I have spent in a while.

Quick update, i added a calcium reactor about 7months ago and everything has been great! Really stable and growth has been good, still working on getting the colors i want out if the corals. But i feel like it is a lighting issue so just wrote a new lighting program for the xr15’s. Wish me luck
