Looks good bro! What are you using as a pump for the supply on the kalk reactor?

For right now, a maxi jet 1200 that is valved down. The hole in the wall goes through to the kitchen where the mixing station is, I'll have to patch that when I move out.
I plan on a dosing pump eventually.Thanks! The move actually went really well, so I can't complain about that.
I do have to figure out what is making my skimmer go bonkers and overflow every once in a while. I shut it off, clean the cup and fire it back up, and it runs just fine. Weird....
tank is looking good Mike.Thanks Rev!
Here is a fresh "Couch view":
Only blue LED on at the moment.

Time for another update!
It is always fun to post pictures of new stuff. I borrowed a PAR meter from the local club to get a gage on where I am in light output, and the numbers didn't work out, so I sent a simple e-mail to Logan at Reef Breeders, and he was a pleasure to deal with. He suggested one of the 24" controllable fixtures to replace my current fixture, and shipped one out for me the next business day:
Very well packed!
Business side!
Much improved hanging kit, and a REMOTE?
Close up, this is a nice finished look!
And over the tank.
The iPhone REALLY dislikes the LED's, I'll have to get the good camera out soon. I still have the club PAR meter, and I am getting 400ish PAR at 11" under the water, with the blue channel at 70% and White channel at 40%, at the sand bed, I am getting 200ish PAR!
The controller took about 5 minutes to figure out, from there it is a joy to watch the tank fade in and fade out over time. If you haven't looked at this fixture yet, please do so!

Thanks guys!
Most of the corals in the tank now are "new" from the swap. I can see a dramatic improvement in my Gobstoppers already though, I am impressed!

Great video Mike! I love the narration Tank is looking great. You are making me want to try out one of these fixtures myself, but I just love the feeling of having built my LEDs too much. Maybe Ill get one for the frag tank I am setting up. So what was wrong with your original fixture?

Thanks Marv!
Chameleon, LOL! The narration! DOH!!!
The original was not putting out the PAR as expected, Logan at Reef Breeders was AWESOME to deal with regarding the repair/replacement of the original.

Time for a PHOTO UPDATE!
I took the time to get the "good camera" out, and snap a few quickies. Here are some new additions, some that I have had for a while.
Lobo, added 1/27 Lansing Swap
Raptors Peace Coral and Red Acan. Raptors added from the Flint Swap, Acans from Cherry Corals, Lansing Swap
Captive grown green plate, from Lansing Swap.
Male Fiji Lyretail Anthias, from Preuss Pets.
Blue Milli, Lansing Swap
Red Planet, Lansing Swap
Duncans, MMMC Frag meeting.
Strawberry "Something", Lansing Swap
Red Chalice, MMMC Meeting.
Frogspawn, from my friend James. This is one of the first pieces added to the tank.
Left side of the tank.
Full tank shot.
Trumpet Coral, this is a frag of my own, purchased from the Trop about 1999 or so. Cared for by James while I took a break. (Yes it really is THAT green!)
Green and Blue Millis next to each other.
Blue polyped green cap with purple rim. (Flower Pedal Cap)
