Got the skimmer and fans hooked up. Waiting to add water until after the holidays, already got the rodi running. Soon it'll be time to break out the Ole par meter and get some readings.

Horrible about updating but quick catch up.
Added biomedia from another tank of mine and cycled in 6 days.
Started adding some frags around day 18, started with some digis from other tank and those still looked good within a week with good polyp Extention and no signs of stress started adding a fee acro frags.

Only running one light on about 50% since there is no need to blast the entire tank with light. I did order a couple custom aliexpress light bars for mostly fill light and to fill in the spectrum where the AI Hydras lack (380-420nm)

Added on to the existing lighting mount brackets I built to be able to add the light bars I'm waiting to receive. I have set at a bit of an angle since I will have the Frag racks slightly towards the front pane of the glass and since the light bars have an adjustable swivle mount I can adjust those as needed as well.

Oh and according to my apogee 510 that I'm happy I get to breakout again, with both lighta on it reads 175 in the far corners on back right side to the highest point of 500, mostly 200-450 throughout the tank but I know once the bars come in I will get to adjust the settings a bit more.

I am using a dosing pump for autotop off with multiple criteria set up, but basically adding a very small amount of kalk via ato. Right now at the lowest point my ph is reading 8.09 and upwards of 8.35.
