-Just added 2-72" 160w vhos. Bulbs are uri super actinic run by ice cap 430 ballast.
-Fuge lit by standard fluorescent in a shop light reflector.

Filtration:
-Roughly 115-150;b of lr.

-Euro-Reef rs135 Skimmer
-Via Aqua phosphate reactor filled with sea-chem sea-gel. I may be switching to GFO.
-Current usa 25w gamma uv sterilizer.
-300w Azoo titanium heater and a 250w stealth heater.
-Precision marine kalk reactor.
-Geo 612 Calcium reactor. 5lb C02 bottle with reef fanatic regulator and solenoid. ARM large grain media.
-20g tall fuge with sand, cheato, and culerpa prolifera. Small powerhead in fuge.

I think that's it.

Flow and Pumps:

-Mag 18 return pump.

-2 Koralia 2's.

Monitoring and Control:
-Reactor controlled by Milwaukee sms-122 ph controller.
-American marine ph monitor.
-American marine temp. monitor.

I think that should do it...I don't think I forgot anything.

 

You're "after" pics are just great! Just a question: How old is your tank, and how long was it up before your algae outbreak?

 

The 125 has been up for about a year and 3 months. Everything was in the 90 for about 8 months before the move to the 125. Algae started popping up around 9-10 months after the move.

 

For a rebounding tank that is very very amazing...The 150's seem to be just right..Looks just fine with no atinics. If ya dont need em dont use Em. I only run mine for a hour before and after the Halides come on(thats two hours a day ) The halides run for 8hrs .

I used to run em all 10hrs a day ..Now im Just using Atinics for dusk before halide comes on and at dawn just before halide goes off .It really is all you need when the spectrum of hlide is just right.
Your PG$E will look good too .

Amazing tank

 

:thumb_up::thumb_up: Tank looks insane...

 

Wait wait wait, you posted the before pics........ we need the other ones.......LOL

 

sorry for your loss, but that tank is NICE!

 

haha no these are the after pics. I really appreciate the support. I am still having issues with my monti's. I can't seem to figure it out but I am going to step up my wc's that I have been slacking on and see if that helps.

I agree b low. I think it looks more natural with just the halides. I will probably get the issue with the actinic's solved just to have the dawn dusk etc but have them off the rest of the time. Who knows.
