Time for a little update.
There will be a "big" update next week. A fellow reefer who had a stunning tank for many many years decided to leave the hobby and was selling off all his beautiful...

Today I tried to make a video from the Elos. It is not the greatest but not that bad either.

It seems camcorder and LED's don't like each other that much and the true colors of the corals don't...

Quick shot to show how nice the coralline starts to grow. There was no LR when I started. Just dry rock.
NO pic manipulation. That's the way it looks

Installed some more equipment to make life easier

Besides the RO/DI storage tank (top) I installed a second one for mixing and storing saltwater. Inside the tank there is a heater and a Maxi-jet...

Think it is time to update my thread again with some color....;)

System has been running for 2 months now.
So far I am really pleased.
For now I only have about only 6 smaller LPS and a pair of Snowflake Clowns in the tank. Once I am back in town next week I...

The LED's are about 3" above the water level and 9" above the highest LR in the tank.
I kept the Wavebox and the MP40 to keep the...

Here are a few pics from the aquascaping. The camera seems not to capture everything very well. Looks like the rocks are piled up but they are not actually. Tons of open space and caves...

On Saturday I started with the Elos Purist Line.
Here is a link to the full article regarding this system: LINK.
What is the purpose of the Purist Line?
A system to feed and improve...

To start the cycle I used a small piece of fresh fish and a very small amount of skimmate from the frag tank.
Started also dosing the Elos Purist Line products.

I was impressed to...

Got the skimmer and installed it.
Really impressed with the quality and little details. Going to borrow a meter to measure the air intake.
Filled up the reactors with carbon and...

Not only does it look very sleek over the tank...
