Here are a couple of new additions...really loving the RFA so far...

A few updates to the thread...final Sump pic...it ain't pretty but I think even with the small size it is going to work well. Just hooked up the ARID N18 today and we will see how that goes...very impressed with the build quality so far. Also added a couple nice pieces today. So far (fingers crossed) the corals have been doing terrific. I lost an orange watchman to a vanishing act over the weekend while I was working out of town, so that's been the only downer thus far. The clowns are doing great though! And I love the Rock Flower Anemone, which seems to be settling in nicely.

Looking really good, I am curious to see how that reactor works out for you.

Give us a FTS!

I love this tank!
Have you considered making some kind of arm from the wall to mount the light sideways?

Nice setup. I have a love/hate thing going on with my pax bellum. I hate having to open it and shake the cheato off. I want to follow your progress with it.

Slow but steady progress so far...my coral banded is hiding and everything is just waking up. Going to add a couple new pieces next week.

Mark Teitelman · Sep 21, 2017

Yeah I’ll see about the maintenance. I’m 2 weeks in on it and will trim it in a week or two. So far looks like it is working well. Will let you know...

Hey thanks Leah! The light is really powerful, and I’m putting my favorite corals like blastos, acans and Duncans at the furthest part from it. So far it looks like they are getting plenty of light. Good color and extension. So right now I’m going to keep it the way it is. Eventually I may try some SPS but those will be directly under the light so it should be ok.

Hey all here is a quick update now that the tank is starting to fill out...starting to add a few acros and stylos—more pics soon when I get back from out of town.

Following. Looks great. I've placed my order for the N18...

How's the Deltec going with that new pump (aquabee rather than the modified jebaos they were using)?

Mark Teitelman · Jan 22, 2018

Hey there! All going well. I need to post some new updates, adding a few new fish and corals tomorrow out of QT. Love the N18, works as advertised and I have been very happy with it. The Deltec has been really solid too. It can get cagey about water level but as long as I keep it consistent it does a really good job too.
