What do you try to keep you parameters at? I mean cal, alk, and mag.

I don't test nearly as often as I should but I tend to keep my alk around 8 dkh, cal around 400ppm, and mag around 1300.

Awesome! I keep mine around the same. Maybe a little bit higher.

Got tired of my seeing my skimmer sticking out like a sore thumb every time I look at my tank, so I threw together a "cover" quickly after work. Here's the before

And here's the "cover"

I may put some trim on it to sort of match the doors. After I decide to put trim on or not I just need to sand and paint it. The cover comes off for easy access to the collection cup and with the collection cup off the skimmer, the "cover"slides forward for when I need to do a cleaning of the pump and skimmer body.

So after about 8 months I finally got around to painting the "cover" I made for my external skimmer. Looks much better painted...lol

It's hard to stand out in this big reefing world on R2R, I try to follow as many builds as I can. I shut my 57 down before I could really fill it up with stuff I loved, so I kind of feel like I'm vicariously living through you! That Wellso is looking beaut' up front!

Picked up a bunch of new sps today in a trade. Took a few quick pics of the ones that were easy to take pictures of. These are no more than 5-10 minutes In the tank

One of the nicest sarmentosa I've seen
