Looks good!
Question, how's that libra working for ya?
Reason i'm asking is that the firmware on it had a lot of fails and it dosed in a lot of cases all alk, cal or mag into the tank.
And as follows, tank crash!
Did send my libra back for a full refund as a lot of libra users in the Houston area.

Here's the male, unfortunately he was chased out of the tank by my Starcki Damsel. I still have the female though.

I love my Libra. It works perfectly and I try to recalibrate the pumps everytime I fill my solutions. It was a lot cheaper than piecing together a CA reactor.

Nice!! Your corals all look Great!! Beautiful Tank!!

Thank you for the kind words. Any perfect tank doesn't have it's hiccups. Over the past few days I noticed a considerable amount of hair algae and cyano (usually non-existant in my tank). I checked the RODI and my TDS was well over 300ppm. Whooooops ;D
