Sounds like you have a good starting place for dosing. Just test like crazy at first and adjust from there. I was testing and manually dosing daily until I got my pumps locked in. Now I test once a week and rarely make any changes. Love the tank. Good luck!

Very nice set up, love the plumbing. Looking forward too seeing more pics

Thanks Steelerfan! I can't take credit for the plumbing though, i bought it from a local reefer this way. He did do a great job though!
Thanks!

Amazing fish tank! Your corals look very nice and so do all of your fish. The idea for the hanging lights was a great little addition.

Thanks taylor!

Love the spectrums!

Thanks! Its exactly why i chose the Radion over the Ai units. I love T5's and the Radion is much closer to T5's with the shimmer.

Thanks for the advice! Sounds like dosing is going great for you! Did you see a boost in growth of your corals when you began dosing?

With all the new electronics, i decided to create a â€œcontrol panelâ€ to keep everything organized. Here is what i've got so far. Room still available for the controller that will be coming soon.

Used bulkheads to run the wires

Steelerfan747 · Jul 1, 2012

Cool idea for the control panel. Will you be building a cover for it or will it remain exposed?

All Delight · Jul 1, 2012

Thanks Benzc01! Love the dimensions! Perfect for a single Radion, and just the right size to easily maintain. Especially love the 14" height!

Will remain exposed until I see a need for a cover. So far it's working great, everything is at my finger tips, no squatting or reaching into my cabinets. Only thing I wish was different was all companies made their products with 12' cords! Some are way too short!
