Long time no updates. I have a 7 week old and the holidays going on (early christmas for folks leaving town) so been super busy. The tank is up and running now. Filled it last week (took a week) and added salt. Transferred fish from old system (purple tang and 2 clowns) and few coral and live rock to temp holding tank. Set up QT system and plumbed both DOSes. Plumbed ATOs, and the ato ATO (video to come). In short, the auto top off reservoir will automatically refill from the garage holding tank, which will top itself off once per day (to prevent constant on/off cycles by RODI system as tank evaps water). Of course, I have a leaky float valve that may need replacement, so right now I'm just topping of my ATO reservoir manually, daily. Also got new lights in, a pair of XR15s gen5, so will pair those with my current hydra 26HDs for now. After coral are in I'll swap out the two Hydras for two more XR15s. I had been cycling two blocks of marine pure in a tank in the garage for a month, so I put the fish in the display along with those two blocks. Bought two new fish, a one spot foxface and a small sailfin tang, put them in QT system. Unfortunately, the sailfin got stuck on the input of the small circulation pump that was in there and didn't make it. Foxface is happy so far. My 7 week old woke me at 5am this morning, so I got up before work and hung the doors. Last things to do is 1) fix ato ATO float valve and 2) finish aquascape. I was 90% done, then I dropped a rock and broke it so now I'm closer to 60% done. Pics to come soon for that, going for NSA with lots of shelf for acros.
