Ok so Huge update, the Radion XR30 pro G4 is no longer on this reef!!!! I have gone back to what is tried and true for me witch is either MH or T5, in this case it is a ATI 8x24 fixture running 4 Blue+ 2 coral+ 1 true actinic 1 purple plus!!!pics will come tomorrow. Dont get me wrong the Radion is an amazing LED but.... it does have the issue of shadowing witch bugs me since one side of my coral is pale........ I did not have the option to supplement with T5 because i dont have a hood, so ATI 8x24 plus im getting a Reefbright LED actinic strip.

Are you using the Reefbrite Strip already? If so, how much better does the corals look with the Reefbrite addition? I am also wanting to add one of these to my Ati later on and would like some input.

Great looking tank. Are you the guy who also has the 220g? I thought the stock list looked familiar.

I know I have som algae on the back wall but it grew when I did not have my macro reactor set up yet. Since I set it up it made a HUGE difference!!!! Pros down to .03 from .3 also nitrate down to 2-3 ppm from 10

What route did you got for a macro reactor? I have a lagoon 25 and trying to figure out a way to incorporate one. The tank is looking great. Thanks for the help!

I just bought a reactor that holds 2.5 liters of water 40$ on sale then went to lowes got a Daylight LED tape strip 25$, zipties 2$, and a Lifeguard quite one 400(100gph) pump. Got the pump in my 2nd chamber and the return going into my return chamber so i dont get reprocessing, tossed on some chaeto and the things a beast!! I feed really
heavy, with that and a heavy bioload i run my skimmer 12 hours a day, the reactor works 18 hours on 6 off. With that i hold 2ppm nitrate and 0.02-0.04 phos of yah and a weekly 5gal WC.

Hey everyone a short update one the Nuvo 40, so far everything is looking good. I am now dosing 25ml dkh daily and 20ml cal so far holding 9dkh and 400 cal, I ended up ordering a Bubble Magus TS1 doser and soon to get the TS2 for the cal. Gsp is getting huge so i will be cutting it in half this Saturday when i do my weekly WC, all the SPS are encrusting over the rock work now. Will post some pics tomorrow!!!
