I'm glad I found your build thread. No anemones in the new tank yet? Did I see a CSB in the sump in another photo on FB? It is moving into the DT soon?

Does you ca reactor get water from the manifold? You had a peristaltic pump on the equipment list, I thought people only usually use 1 pump to push or pull for carx, are you pushing w return pump and pulling w kamoer? Beautiful tank btw! Would love to see some shots in white light.

I came on R2R after awhile just to check back on your build.. I am very happy to see them frags getting off to a very good start as can be seen on your Youtube video. Did you start with 100% dead rock or seed with some established rock ? Curious as I am upgrading to my first really large tank and not sure If I want to wait more than 3 months to add acros

Hello, my Kamoer pump pulls from the reactor, works great. Thanks, heres a vid I did with sps under Orphek Atlantiks Modes 10k full spec to Clear Blue (4500nm)

Hi Ashish,

Thank You, I did start with all dead rock. Best to wait it out, and let the tank go through a full cycle.

Awesome tank, really nice corals

 

[YHSublime]

Hey there! I was curious, are the Orphek lights the Atlantik V4 (gen2)? They seem to be doing some work for you!

Awesome to see the difference the lighting makes. Did you use a filter for the blue shots?

Maybe it's just hard to capture in video because of exposure/contrast, but it seems that 10k seems to hide some of the coloration.

Bump for an awesome build and that Walt Disney looks amazing btw!
