Great pictures and thanks for sharing them with us

I like the idea of the large filter sock to make life easier

And welcome to R2R!

I'm looking at the SCA 66 and would like to get your thoughts, now that you've had it running a couple of months? Are you happy with it?

Been super busy but will update more and more on the 66 serenity, Water changes every 3-4 weeks 20-30 gal. With the new lights hydra 32hd a lot of the zoa aren't opening and the torch and duncan will close up and open up later in the day. Maybe from the lower ph and alk? I tested the fresh salt water and was getting 8.1ph what you guys think?

ph 7.7
tmp 78
Orp 316
alk 8.06
Cal 443
pho 0.07
