If someone asks me about what the top 3 most important hardware equipments are in my case, I would say they are the return pumps, calcium reactor set and the light.

I have pump failure before early in the morning that caused me to panic because the local shops are not open yet which I can't buy a replacement. I had no choice but fortunately I can still use my pump that is meant to mix my salt and water.

Calcium reactor means stable parameters if it is built to last. Many who are dosing can similarly achieve the same result. However, based on my personal experience, cr makes life much easier in terms of testing parameter on kh only and it requires less tuning if it's setup properly.

I think if you use ati, you can't blame the light if the corals are not colouring.

Enough said, here is my full tank shot.

Just back from holiday after 9 days overseas. Sps colours have lost a bit but everything is fine.

Took a picture of my favorite zoas.

Very nice tank! How are the frags under the kessil's doing now? My guess is the sps are not as well as they were before with the MH.

Awesome reef! I would really love to see the sump and equipment set-up on that one. Care to share pics of that?

Truly a beautiful master piece! Thank you for taking the time and sharing with us. Definitely one of those tanks that will continue to inspire me every time I see new pictures or video. Fantastic job!

Corals look healthy, really rich, deep colours.
I notice you dont run your tank super clean.
How many fish in there.
I think I should have about 30 fishes. I am a bit lazy to keep cleaning the tank glass and bottom. In fact, I prefer not because I keep getting my hand and arm scratched by the sps then it becomes very itchy. [emoji2]
