Meh.

Looks great! You're going to love that ATI! Do you have any ReefBrites on it yet?

HA! Thanks! I love the way it is turning out, I even more love this fixture. Why on earth would I add reefbrites anyways?? haha jk. But to answer your question, no, not yet, maybe one day!

Thanks Andy Man! I love the way the stand and canopy have turned out! Really proud of myself for sure! Hope to make the inside tank match the puuuurdiness of the exterior!

Finally!! Got the RO/DI set up in the new house, replaced filters, and am now making 0 TDS water again! Water station will be set up fresh water in white hose and salt water in black. If you recall in a previous post, I ran 2 x 1/2"hoses under the house to the tank, this will be where they start.

So I think I am going to wait just a weeebiiiit longer before my next couple upgrades. I have put a little over $1,500 into fixing up the house before we list it. I think it would be smart not to tie up the next $2000 in my tank. If the house sells, no problem, but if I get stuck with 2 mortgages longer than a year, Ill probably cry about it. I finally totaled up how much this set up has run me and I have spent exactly what I was looking at, not including the next few upgrades! SO needless to say, I am right on budget! How often does that even happen?

I currently have a good skimmer but it is rated up to only 200g, the SRO-2000int, and I have a total of about 300g in the system. I currently dose with a Bubble Magus Dosing Pump, but I would prefer to have a Calcium Reactor. I have been looking at what I will be ordering when the time comes though... Suggestions and input is greatly appreciated as I have some time before I will need either one!!!

Skimmers:
Super Reef Octopus SRO-5000sss
ATB 1050A
ATB 10.5 Deluxe (Serious Overkill)

Calcium Reactors:
Reef Octopus CR5000
Korallin C-1502
Korallin C-3002 (Overkill)
