The Amazonas 960 were my first choice and are still in the running. I did see that Andrew has added one or two 960's to his 17,000 gallon for a little extra blue "pop". I hope he does a review on them sometime.

Amazing you’re getting that kind of coral growth with 1.0 phos. I thought high phos inhibited skeleton growth. With lower phos you might go broke paying for alk and calcium supplementation!
I have great results from lanthanum dosed into skimmer. No fish loses. Maybe try at lower dose for a while?

That's a good idea... may run it through the bigger skimmer instead too... Thanks for your feedback!

New round grow 600watt LED light for the Fuge…
Got some SPS from Dr. Neil that I need to put in the display! The colony directly under the left light is an “after party”… it’s huge…
Nitrates coming out of the sulphur de nitrator are at 5… getting there…

Plans for this weekend:
4 tank holding system finish (40 cube, 45 & 45 low boy frag tanks and 65 gal fish)
-finish drain lines-plumb returns
-plumb in pump
-fill and test
Acro colony placement in show
- move low light corals down- zip tie hammers, frogspawn to pillars
- glue frags to strategic spots
- clean up corals on floor
Good luck! By the way, the most cost effective lanthanum, which is cheap enough to begin with, is to buy the one gallon two little fishies _concentrate_. It mixes up to about a decade worth of still very very concentrated lanthanum

Display looks like it needs more medium size fish
You ever get any money back from that crook?!
No, still patching up my filtration to fill the holes in what he didn’t build.
