Looks great! What is your target KH?

 

[maxwell]

Rev
The Kh target set at 7.5KH and after 4-5 weeks its running an average 7.46KH for 24/7.I run a dastaco calc reactor which I dialled down below the 7.5KH and the Guardian fine tunes it ,I am more than happy with it as I run it for 2 weeks without dosing to see the swings and adj the dastaco .

Really beautiful reef, love the coloration.

Can you please list all the lighting, it looks like you're using T5HO and LED's? I saw the post regarding V3 orphek.

Thank you for the update.

Amazing tank, would love to know dimensions as well as other details such as lighting etc...

Hi Guys
I will try and answer the questions regarding the tank. The dimensions are 54''L x 30''W x30''D its approx. 1000L and I have experimented with loads different lighting the current lights are 2 x orphek V3's across the front on DD rails and on the rear is a radion gen3pro and a Orphek V4 customised with V3 spectrum to match the front 2 light spectrum.I am looking to try something like the new SB 45'' fixture or similar on the back as the fixtures as they are look a bit clumsy and would give even distribution of light. I run a dastaco cal reactor ,reefanatics pellet reactor ,KZ skimmer with a vario6 skimmer pump and also a KH Guardian monitor/doser . My corals(some more than others) grow very quickly and show good colours and polyp extension to the extent I have had to remove some colonies and replace with frags as I had some shading issues a big lesson learned in research the corals and placement when I started the tank .I have a good head of fish 20+ and I previously posted the ICP test results to show the quality of the water.
thanks for looking and commenting
