I am terrible at keeping this updated! Things are humming along. I just installed a CPR sock-it thing today but realized after I cut my vinyl plumbing I need some more parts

But it at least is working. I just need something to secure the plumbing into the sock-it guides.

I picked up some Corals today from my friend John today. Here are a few photos of some of them.

A few more photos from this weekend. I swapped out my kessils for radions and I must say, I love them!

I just switched out my lighting and am running two XR30 g4 pro radions and I have to say, I love them!

I’ve been testing daily for the past two weeks as I had a mag issue (low) and have been trying to bring it up slowly. Ive also wanted to determine if I need to mess with the Kalkwasser concentration. Levels:

Alk: 9.4
Calcium: 450
Mag: 1300
Nitrates: 13
Phosphates: .07

I'm building a new SCA 150g tank myself, currently planning to use 3 Kessil A360WE's... Why did you decide to swap them out for Radions?

I honestly felt the light spread wasn’t right for the 150. I had them attached in the canopy so they were fairly close to the water and this created hot spots with the lights. I wanted something that diffused better and had better spread.
