Took a bunch of pictures [emoji2]
Refilled calcium reactor.
One day, I think I'd really like to switch to dosing alk & Ca. Not only is the reactor hard to adjust, but as the media level decreases, and channeling increases, alk and Ca values decrease along with pH. I do like dissolving coral skeleton, as it just seems so logical.
Maybe I just need a larger, better reactor and fine control valve. [emoji3]

Just a cleaner install, and those flex tubes I was having to replace them every couple of months they just became a total eye sore. Im actually right now building a new sump and will be redoing the entire plumbing... so that was a practice run lol.
