I know its been a while since my last post. Nothing interesting has been happening. I received a spotted bristletooth tang over a week ago and its in the QT tank. I also received four 250 MH kits with icecap ballasts for free. Since the government wants to take its time refunding my money I will temporarily be using these with 6700K bulbs and accent the MHs with the BML 6 foot 14000k actinic kit. Jake Adams suggested it so I am going to roll with that for now.
I also performed my third and last 80+ gallon water change yesterday. But let me give you the short history first. The first two times it happened the hose from my carbon reactor somehow came out the filter sock and politely emptied the sump out causing both of my main pumps to fail on the first water change. Apparently after Sunday maintenance I left a towel on top of the skimmer cup and out of anger and not breathing I presume, decided to overflow the waste bucket and the next morning I woke up to a dry sump AGAIN. So I guess you can say that was my enjoyment.

It's been a month so you probably already found something but if not I have been considering one of these

Would definitely make sense on your thickness. Good luck and tank looks great.

I have the magnet already for cleaning my acrylic. I have it temporarily holding one of the WP60s. Thanks for taking the time out to look that up for me. I greatly appreciate it.

Well I finally have my alk in the 7.5 dKh. Atleast I thought I did or I just don't know. For two to three days my alk reading was 7.3-7.4. Then I look at my all plants regulator and noticed the gage on zero. So I added a 20 lb CO2 tank and will monitor for the next few days.
