Hi Everyone,

I have been meaning to do this for a while now and just haven't gotten around to it. Well, today is the day!

I am 8 days into the cycle of my new bare bottom 100.3 Waterbox SPS reef using ZEOVit and a cantilevered NSA (negative space aquascape). The equipment is as follows:

Waterbox 100.3 display tank
Aquatic Life DX18 Hybrid T5/LED with 4 ATI Blue Plus
2x Kessil A360X w/wifi dongle
Stock Waterbox plumbing and sump
Nyos 160 skimmer
Avast Marine Works Vibe 2L ZEOvit reactor
Neptune COR 15 return pump
Reef Octopus Varios2 feeding the Vibe
2x Maxspect Gyre XF-330 on the back wall
2x Neptune WAV (1 on each side wall, one is low and in the back to hopefully move detritus to the front of tank)
2x 200w BRS Heaters
2x VCA Random Flow Generators
Neptune Apex
Neptune Trident
Neptune DOS to dose BRS 2 part
BRS 1.1ml doser to dose ZEOstart3
Neptune ATKv2
Seneye monitor
Adaptive Reeef controller board
Tropic Marin Pro Reef Salt

As I said, I am 8 days into the cycle, the Seneye is showing .5 ppm of free ammonia (that's as high as the Seneye goes so it is likely much higher) haven't tested anything else yet. Being a BB and NSA I am guessing the cycle is going to take a while, I'm in no hurry. I will take some more pictures especially the stand, sump, and controller board while waiting for the cycle.

In the meantime, here is a video and some pictures of the aquascape... taken with my iPhone so sorry about them being so blue.
