Budget UK 1200 litre reef.

Soooo... stuffs happened. The feather star is fine... doser set up to feed every 2 hours and is looking good. No arms dropped as yet

Had a hideous alk spike... jumped up from 7.something to 13 following accidentally dumping half a bottle of alk buffer in by accident. A few quick WC and we were down to 11ish. Decided to leave there and let the corals bring it down naturally.

Many thanks to @Vincent100 for some lovely seriatopora colonies, a stylo and acro frag... good PE almost immediately, despite the 100 mile journey! Also added a bubble tip nem from a local reefer.

Lights arrived... along with all the other goodies.

Cp55 is in the tank, great flow. I've switched off the two big 20000lph pumps for the time being, may have a job for them yet...

Ato unit arrived, but without a pump... credit to the retailer tho, no problems, just messaged him to say it was missing and he's sending me one in the post

The new biopellet reactor is yet to arrive.

Pics as I unboxed the light... there's two of these monsters to go on. Will be a good few hours work to mod the lid.. am also going to have a sort out in the cabinet... wires are all a complete mess atm.

Hopefully get around to it on Friday... I have a few jobs to do to keep the wife happy first lol.
