Very tiny update: Today starts the mark of a new adventure for me. Going to start dosing 2 part instead of Kent Marine additives. Going to let Fritz salt take care of minor trace elements, and use the BRS 2 part for dosing calc and alk. Let me know your experiences and if you have any tips or tricks for me

hey crabs where did ya get the pumps on top of those jugs?

Crabs is now practicing what he preaches. I picked up this beautiful little guy from Matt @BoomCorals today. Super excited to see how he does, and interested to see if the clowns will move from their Duncan home to this guy

Actually, the 36 inch fixture is 18 inches width, so it fits my 40 breeder perfectly length and width

Small update
I ventured into the great unknown!
I got rid of the power center with individual on off switches and got myself an aquarium controller. Found a killer deal in a reef keeper lite plus. Two power bars, slx module, sl1 module and net module.

 

[Fudsey]

Nice find

I love your tanks-great pictures, too!

 

[larryl]

Great score for sure.

Where is the spot for that elegant purple acro.

 

[Crabs McJones]

It's monday everyone! And I figured what better way to brighten up a gloomy first work day of the week, than with an updated FTS!

And here are some of the corals that are making a remarkable recovery and growing like crazy

Looking really nice, Mr Crabs!
From your shots, I'm getting a tranquil pastel vibe from your tank. Looks really sharp!

 

[Ruben's Reef]

Looking great Zach. I like the look without much sand.

Im in the process of slowly removing the sand. The look of bare bottom has really grown on me thanks to @DSC reef

And to think, our next build might have sand....;Hilarious Gotta keep you on your toes Seriously though, to think our tank was an inspiration is very humbling. Thanks man.
