    Nice new build in the future. You can get a Marineland double dimension tank. They say you can get them up to 96 - 120L X 36W X 27H. You and your fish are gonna love the depth.

    Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to getting some updated shots. I have moved a lot around and added some really nice colonies.

    Thank you!

    Exactly!! Work hard and play harder!

    I'm really looking forward to working with more depth on my next system. I want to make it viewable from two sides at least.

    That's an Indonesian Scolymia and is one of my favorite pieces in the tank. Looks great under the Actinics.

    Just had my water double checked by my LFS and found that the Salinity is WAY too high.. over 1.030... My Refractometer is way way off. (my hydrometer that has been unused since the refrac's purchase is still roughly accurate I found tonight)....

    I'm going to start pulling about 3 gallons a day through wet skim with my ATO filling it back up... Is that about right? What's the fastest I should do it?

    What about 10% daily water changes with pre-made water at the salinity level you want. That should get it down gradually.

    Through a combination of water changes and just pulling some water out and letting my ATO replace it, I'm back to 1.026sg and can see massive improvements in my corals. Colors that had faded are coming back, lps are back happy and the tank is back on the up and up!!! Learned a valuable lesson. Never trust your testing fully. I now plan to have my LFS double check my tests at least once a month. So I'll continue my weekly and add an LFS monthly water test. Should keep it from getting this out of line again.

    On another note, I am seriously considering adding some full spectrum and UV led supplementation. The thread is here!!

    I'm glad everything is working out for you. I also plan on having my LFS double check my params every so often as well lol.
