    ill have to state the red sea tests are pretty simple and basic. The only thing I really care about is Ca and Alk since presumably ill be dosing at some point and do rather infrequent water changes. im getting pretty good growth of my SPS right now and Ideally I want to be at 450 and 9 for my levels, but im pretty spot on to NSW so thats not to shabby.

    Next week or tonight, who knows im bad at projects, Ill change up my lighting to a more blue spectrum for color and increase the intensity 5% more. Other than that I need to re program my Reefangel, build my screens and remove my glass tops, and lastly rework my electrical.
    (however perhaps ill just watch my new tang)

    Also my Maxima attached to the rock and is holding himself upright very nicely.

    To be fair, i essentially did a 50% water change over the last 4 months with 30 gallons of new water upgraded, another 15g for the sump, and 7 gallons for the fuge plus maybe another 10-15g from replace water due to acclimation and skimming.

    SO last night I made a small change in my plumbing to incorporate my fuge and reactors back into my return. I also think I decreased my head pressure by eliminating the check valve that never really did anything.

    I went from this:

    Added bonus it that everything screws together for easy changes. The old bit was glued.
