New video up on YouTube, good watch if you want to sit back in relax for 10min . 1yr 8month update, roughly about 16 months since I placed my corals in. Time Flys for sure!

Video is sick! Seems like only few months ago you where aquascaping!

Beautiful tank. Do you still using the same light schedule as you posted #212 ?

Hey rob, insane tank! I wanted to go your way with mm, could I put it in all at once or do it slowly? Any other thing I should supplement? With it like a chaeto fuge? I'd be taking my skimmer offline if that was the case but you said in your vid that the skimmer is just there for aeration now mainly

Awesome tank! Another question regarding MM. Should I put skimmer in compartment before MM or after MM. I guess before... Thanks

Rob, can you speak about your choice to go with Orpheks.

How has your experience been with them? Do you like the interface for the app?

I'm on the fence between orphek and radions.

Thanks

Bought 6 Orpheks Atlantik G4 V2, these by far are the best and well built LEDs out there at the moment, they are stunning!!

I am setting up my build now, and i would like to know what you used, to make the orpheks stand off from the wood? I want to do something similar, thanks!

 

[vetteguy53081]

I made cross members out of wood and installed hooks and hung lights off them
Orphek now has brackets to stack them like soldiers. Im liking your board idea

Miracle Mud provides minerals and trace elements,

Thank you for sharing your results experience and wisdom. How and when did you apply your miracle mud please?

 

[Pg1]

Hi Rob the tank looks awesome!!!
what light do you use in your refugium for the chaeto?

what kind of flow do you have through the sump with the miracle mud?

 

[Robs Reef]

Sorry for being MIA, life has been hectic with all this stuff going on. Heres a 2 year update.
Proving old school methods still reigns supreme. Been a wide spread discussions about dry rock, bare bottom, cycling and good ole shrimp to get ball rolling. Takes a little bit more patience but the end results are amazing. I've had tremendous growth the past 2 years and the my reef tank is close to full blown, and being a 600g system, I believe is quite an accomplishment. Enjoy the video!!
