Took this picture today while I was feeding the fish. Realestate in my tank is limited. Tell me what you guys think.

Looks good, looks like everything's growing well. Was everything grown from frags? How olds the system

 

[Wolff92]

Thank you! Some pieces were grown from frags. That big colony that's browned out I just picked up its a yellow milli just needs some time in my tank to pick back up. The tank is 2 years old but I had a leak in my 72 bow front and transfered everything to the new tank back in September. No casualties just some broken sps colonies due to my own mistakes.

Looks like ya did everything right on the transfer. I did a transfer not to long ago and lost a few sps's. Fighting just a little bit of an algae issue. But looks like ur doing everything right.

 

[Wolff92]

Thank. Transferring is every reefers nightmare. I replaced the sand bed, replaced 80% of the water with nutri sea water and it seemed to work. Clams made it, fish made it, and luckily so did my sps. No algae issues. But I also feed my fish every other day. So not much in the tank as far as nutrients go. I do not run any gfo or even have a doser. Everything is manual. I'm paraniod of malfunctions.

Thanks guys.

Lighting: two hydra 26 to cover 36" of tank

Flow: one mp40QD, two Koralina(will replace) 1 800gph the other 1200gph

Protein skimmer: Reef octopus

Sump: chateo and rubble in two seperate chambers. I run chemipure in the filter sock no reactors.

I keep it extremely simple. Don't even have an ATO I do that myself as well.

[Wolff92]

Nice! I wish I wish I had the pumps you do! I'll bd getting a MP10 soon. Keep me posted on how the growth Is im the tank!

 

[Brian Kim]

Very nice! I was thinking about getting that same tank, hope you are happy with your selection.

 

[Wolff92]

Thanks Brian I am. I work at a local fish store and we have sold several of the Artisian Series tank and everyone we have sold the customer was happy including myself. The quality of the stand that was shipped assembled was extremely heavy, water proof, and durable. The tanks starfire in threesides is amazing. The overflow is nice and quiet. My only complaint was the return pump it came with was weak. So I installed my old Eheim which has served me well. Their customer service has apparently gotten some what better im not 100% sure but their quality in products had hope this helps

 

[Wolff92]

What does everyone else think I'm rather new to the site.

@Wolff92 If I am not mistake you run undetectable nitrates and phosphates correct? You dose ME Amino and feed heavy?

Stunning tank BTW!
