What kind of LED's are those long ones with the big optics? I missed if mentioned before.

They are Photon V2's

Looks great Adam! congrats on adding 4x the real estate and cutting the power bill to boot. Hopefully you will enjoy the space more with actually being able to see the sun and some green while you work, for at least 3 1/2 months of the year.
Great call on the manual aspect of the water changes, I can't even imagine the heartbreak of a solenoid failure or software glitch with what you have going.

Wanted to fallow along. Love seeing someone in the Midwest growing corals!

Yeah Im just too paranoid about stuff like that. lol Some of the primary focuses of this entire set up on top of efficiency where simplicity and longevity. It's a relatively large system to be sure, but is very simple in design with the absolute minimum amount of "weak links" and unnecessary apparatuses possible.

Great waste of my hour reading this thread! Congratulations what an awesome shop, your hard work and passion seem to be paying off.

So if I understand correctly , it's just massive Deltec skimmers doing filteration? Just light , lots of flow , water changes , stable alk and Deltec .. that's all ..
Amazing how you can achieve such great corals with just simplicity !!!
Am slowly changing to follow your footsteps and see if it makes different with my browned out sps ..

I believe you hardly measure nitrates and phosphates ?

Abhishek

Adam that looks awesome man making me wanna see it in person.

Ultimately yep, only not really a massive Deltec, just an appropriately sized one lol.

Here is the extent of the gear on this system, minus the apex and DKH guardian.

Two heaters, the Deltec 3070s and a GEO 1218 Calcium reactor. Mech filter is for the calcium reactor feed. I just haven hooked it up yet. I also modified the Geo to return into the side, rather then from the top so I can refill it much easier, and my sump lids would fit tighter.

Love that modification to the calcium RX. I might have to do that to my 818. Nice work!

What is the purpose of filtering the ca rx feed and what kind of filter did you use single double or triple ?
I am almost ready to pull the trigger on the deltec skimmer I messaged you about also

 

[G8trBait16]

It is so great to see everything up and running, I know it has been a long journey for y'all. I will be getting more corals from you in the near future. I get my new 240g (96 x 24 x 25)Glasscages tank mid-end of May.

 

[DipSpit]

Have been following along with great interest and, still, the perpetual excitement to order from you!

I do have a question regarding the Deltec (and I know you are a guru of sorts). I recently acquired a SC2060 and was wondering how much value is put into the water level in the discharge. What is the preferred height there? I just want to make sure I'm running at max efficiency.

HI there, Only reason is to keep detritus out of the reactor. I like to top off the media rather than take everything out and refill, so things can get pretty filthy in there after a few years. The filter is a standard 2 high lifeguard with the pleats as well

 

[atlorange]

Wow. Looking good.

Adam, has time to do all of this and STILL give OUTSTANDING customer service. I know first hand!

 

[lakereef]

How did the larger colonies handle the move? Can we see some underwater shots?

I'm starting to think Adam has a twin. Lol

Honestly could not have gone better My systems as a whole were pretty neglected during the course of the construction as well. Lots of 2+ year old bulbs for example and over all lack of upkeep and a fair amount of very unnecessary dust. They spread their wings the instant they hit the new water and had never looked better growth has been visibly much better as well. was a huge relief actually

LOL if only!
