All work and no play is not what this build thread is all about. Today, I treated my Reef Savvy (Felix Bordon) and Sticks N Stones (Chris Benner) friends to a trip to the Newport Aquarium!!!

Visited my friend Joe at Marine Solutions in Waynesville, Ohio on Saturday for another round of salt mix. I will use Reef Crystals for my reef project and the Instant Ocean is for curing the dry Marco rock.

A few new SPS frags arrived yesterday. It will take a while to grow these gems out and is exactly how my reef was built over the years and going forward ... all started off from small coral fragments!

Added my new carbon reactor to my grow-out system today. This is the first time I used carbon since I removed my ill-tempered Gem tang back in March. Love the new media reactor. Thanks, @geo Geo's Reef! I plan to add a larger version for the 600g Reef Savvy tank too, when complete.

Great update Tim! How do you like that carbon? Ever run ROX and if so how does it compare?

Thank you very much! Stay tuned. Many more pictures and updates to follow.

Amazing build so far!!
