AWESOME!! Love the scape with ALL those SPS! Can you post some pics of the filtration if you get the chance? Also, how old is the system?

The tank has been running for about a year and a half! The sump is a classic berlin setup with just a skimmer and using my own diy balling mix to keep parameters as stable as possible! In the last 3 weeks i setup a skimz zm150 zeolite reactor with 1L of kz stone for added backup filtration!

Thanks! i'm not running full zeo just using the stone as a added denitrification for the tank.

With sps covering nearly every inch of rock front to back and wanting to add more anthias seemed like a good move to add another source of filtration to the system! The 1L amount is only half of what I truly need but at the present time looks to be enough for the tank! For the moment anyway!
