    plumbed the skimmer and CaOH2 reactor with aatoc. also re-routed the Ca reactors effluent into the skimmer. the blue tape is there to hold the lid on until i can get a quick disconnect 90.

    the live rock rubble and sand in the fuge were treated in bleach, the corals were treated in lugols, the cheato was treated in freshwater, i run seachem gel and a filter sock, NH3,4-0, NO2,3-0, Si-0, PO4-0

    i also keep the pH around 8.2-8.4 with 1.026 salinity at 79 degrees

    the only thing living in the tank is the coral and cheato
