Beautiful tank!! Do you have a doser that replaces the water used by the trident?

Its such a small amount that I just let the ATO add in the little extra. When I do the water changes I'll tweak slightly to reset back to 35ppt if its off.

Also noticed your profile picture is a Venustus Angel. Do you have one?

Man I am so jealous! I’ve been itching to set up a larger tank just so I can get a pair. By far my favorite dwarf Angel

Thanks for doing this Marc. It was fun to have you over to visit when you did a reef talk for our club (PreCovid)

Male threaded Tees

Do you drill any holes into the tee to creat the dorso?

This was the original plan. To have TWO durso drains with a air hole in the top of each tee. After some testing I figured out I could do a Herbie-ish style system with one being a full siphon and the other being a trickle. I achieved this by using moldable plastic on the drain covers (Marc shows this in his video) The siphon drain has the slots exposed on the bottom so no air gets in. And the trickle side has only a few slots at the top to just allow the surface of the water to drain. This one handles the fluctuations and keeps it silent.

Thanks for getting back to me. I am going to try and replicate your amazing work my self. I’m just I love with it. It’s going to have some interesting challenges as I live in Australia but I think it will be fun. I have already brought the low profile bulk heads from Amazon, the drain caps looks a little different then yours do as I couldn’t find the exact same ones you used. I will have a lot of question if you wouldn’t mind, I’ll send you a pm soon.

Bonus entry for Hanna Tester.

I use a Trident for the major elements. 10.18 Alk, 448 Ca, 1466 Mag.

A HR Nitrate Tester would be nice as I haven't tested Nitrate in months... but if the tank is going well do I need to?

In Marc’s video you can see the light fixture. In your recent video it’s not pictured. Are you running the same light and do you have it hung higher or just lifted for the video?

I love this build. Because of this tank I’m going to try to bend PVC using a heat gun. Well done sir.

@eschulist how's this reef doing?

@eschulist I still love your tank after all these years. How many times have you had to re-scape it due to overgrowth?

I am planning my 3rd re-scape of my 120g and in 5 years everything is massive. I did get the same tank and set it up after seeing your tank for the 1st time but clearly not even close to your perfection. Also it is part of my 7 tank 510g system.
