This thing is chugging along nicely. I'm pretty excited for the first time in a long time to have a reef tank. It's been a while since I've just sat and watched the tank.

I added all the probes to the apex today. I had to modify the mount a bit to get it to fit in one of the rear chambers.

So happy for you. Awesome sauce.

I picked up a mount from @richiev today. I also moved the tank. I think it looks pretty good here.

You enjoy your porch often. When you do, leave the door open for natural sunlight to feed the tank.

Talk about equipment overkill for a nano.

Glad to finally see a stable tank from you.

Looks good there and nice equipment list! I'm sure you can fit at least 2 more XR15s over that thing!

With the single xr15 running at 50% I have 250 at the top rock and 150 on every part of the sand.

I forgot how well evaporative cooling works. You can definitely tell on the apex the second I installed the fan.

I picked up a bunch of frags from @Yippee yesterday. So far they are all settling in pretty well. I'm almost kicking myself for getting such a small tank, but I am enjoying the ease of this little thing. So far five gallon water changes each week has been super easy.

Everything is chugging along nicely. Keeping up with water changes is a breeze with this thing. This was also the first cfm in a while where I have felt comfortable enough to actually buy anything.

Very nice tank, pictures don't do it justice as it looks way better in person.

I just received a new Nero housing from Kris Clevin. He designs some really good stuff. He's the guy who designed the rfg's and those little frag shipper things. This housing replaced the entire old Nero housing.

Just curious what’s your method to dealing with it, i'm sure it's not a first time for you ?

Shut down and quit the hobby...

Shut down and quit the hobby...

I had it a few months after I first started. I used chemiclean and was gone in less than a week with no negatives afterwards.

This will work.

I changed the lighting schedule a bit. Sucked out what I could and increased flow. I'm going to try that before I dump chemiclean into this little tank.
