One thing amazing I find with reefing is how we suddenly also become Plumbers with PVC - LOL :)

Very nice set up, peninsula style gives a lot of options on aquascaping, do you still dose or just running the Ca reactor?

No I dont dose anymore calcium reactor holds up the calcium and alkalinity, every now and then I put zeovit magnesium rocks in the calcium reactor and that hold the magnesium steady. Thank you for reading the thread

I use Hannah test meters almost for everything except Mag, Pot, Strontium these I use Salifert. I dose a lot of Zeovit products like Amino acid, B Balance, K Balance, Pohle extra special, stylo-pocci glow, sponge power, Pottasium iodide, reef booster and Flatworm stop.These I dose as per there directions. Then I also dose 5ml of trace elements from tropic marine Trace A and Trace K and Esv strontium 8ml per day. Some times I think that there is no need for all of this cause its expensive but I like the colors and the vibrant look so I think its worth it. I use Tropic marine pro salt which I buffer to 9dkh to match my tank alkalinity caus ethe salt is low on alkalinity. I hope this will help you thx for asking

awesome tank. love the variety of color and coral. love the idea of the probe holder.[/QUOT

Precision marine made that box for me as a proto type. The only thing I had to use an epoxy liquid and thread the adapters together so it don't leak but it works
