With Headaches and Lessons Learned a New Tank Build

[Ditto]

My tank been running very well with little to no issues.

Some updates shots:

This is getting a bit big..

Clam is doing great!’

Started as just 1 zoa..

My clown just relaxing

I did make one change. I was noticing on my tanks my ORP would drop when doing AWC changes. So I am going to try a Venturi on the mixing station to see if it helps. I did send a test to ATI and the results on display tanks and the ATO were spot on, except low mag specifically on this tank and plan to dose it back up.

@Tristren - thanks it been doing quite well.

Yes to oxygenate the water. Even thou my skimmer brings it back tobthe correct ORP level Throughout the day I want to see if this will stop the drop or maybe not have it drop as much when the AWC takes place. It is a a good test to see does it help

Have not done some tank shots for a while so with it being Christmas thought would be a perfect time. From my family to yours have a great and Merry Christmas!!

I know I have to trim some of the coral but just for some reason can not I going to let them grow and then upgrade the tank to a larger one..All the coral started off on plugs and continue to thrive.

Really enjoyed your build. Lots of great points, to start i like the tank height, great for maintenance and specimen feeding. Stand turned out beautiful. GHL controller, while I’ve been an Apex user for years, i found your GHL comments very insightful. Oh and your current split sump, while I’m glad it’s worked for you, installation sounded painful.

How’s the tank looking, any new revelations, we need an update.
