Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I don't really have an opinion either way. I always though of them as a looking best when looking top-down and none of my prior systems were set up for that.
Yeah
I didnt even consider the kessil or AI. Even $30 I spent on this is a little much for me. I'm used to regular bulbs. For macro they work great.

Just stacked. I dont think I'm going to do any mortar. Its absolutely solid right now. I like moving things around too. Though I might add just a touch here or there just in case

You mention going back in time.
It's almost an identical setup. Except for light, I used a Tek fixture before.
Fingers crossed it will run as well as that system did too

Still have to add sand but I'm leaning towards this. The sand that's in there is only enough to.cover the eggcrate I put under the rock work. I'll be adding a couple inches at most, maybe a little higher in the back.
This is what I have left

Yep is from Amazon right around $35 if I remember correctly. It's the one that Asonitez had the video about a few months back.

So new sump in place, leak/plumbing check is all good. And starting to get equipment set up.
Apex EL in place and rolling.
Refugium light and reactors all good to go too.
ATO Reservoir installed(still need to mount ATO switch)
Cant really get a pic of the Apex. Its mounted on the back of the...
Must have been a while since you went to Allquatics.
They might very well be the worst LFS in the USA.
I can't imagine the saltwater stock(fish/coral) can get any worse.
It's a shame too they used to come around every now and then. But it's been a long time since then.

Fun day today.
First my ATO reservoir came in and it has a cracked drawer.
It is the innovative marine 15g reservoir.
So I need to wait on a new drawer. Marine depot is already on it.
Then in a leak test for the system I, well, found a leak.
90g filled and all was going well then when the...
I'm leaning to replacement but the work involved to pull these baffles I may try to plug first. A glass patch is not possible in that location. Which is why I was thinking silicone. I know the area around the bare glass will adhere just fine. The area where there is already silicone is the...
So first of all my bad for now testing beforehand. It was stupid but I forgot.
And then I paid for it.
While testing system for leaks I sure found one. It's a a literal hole in the bottom corner. It looks huge in the pic of course. I'd say touch under 1/4".
Can I just fill this with silicone and...
My thoughts,
If your dosing, just use Instant Ocean.
In my last run in the hobby I started with Reef Crystals, but tried Red Sea CP and Aqua Vitro Salinity. I liked and had success with all of them. But the more I dosed, the less I wanted to pay extra for a salt that supposedly had more of what...
