    Its OK Cam. Comes with the job.

    I have no tips. I think once everything was stable especially Alk, everything else fell into play. I think getting my phosphates down also played a role.

    Bruh! My man, I've been incommunicado, but like the way this build is shaping out. It will be a great system once it is all set-up. You are gong to build a very happy home for many fish and corals, and do it in a way that works for you bro. I it is going to be epic once it ll comes together.

    Holler if you need any help! I might be able to make a road trip down to help for a few days if you need an extra set of hands.

    More importantly, I hope you are doing well Bruh. I know you got a lot going on, and there is not a day goes by that I don't appreciate all you have done to protect America, and are a pretty cool dude to boot.

    Good luck and let me now if you need any help!

    Thor

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Well I have to say I am shocked Reefbruh, I thought you took the older tank completely done and had no current running system.

    Tisk Tisk for not showing it off until now.

    Beautiful fish and corals hmmmmmm.

    Thanks Thor. Sorry for getting back so late to you.

    I have to set the expectations high and also be humble at the same time. I am not trying to be perfect but want this to be the best build not only for the fish but for me.

    The only thing in life that I have started and finished is pay off my car. I have been lacking everywhere else. This build hopefully will be the second thing I will have accomplished. There have probably been some in between but nothing major as this one. If you make it down this way shoot me a pm and I will see if I can accommodate you as best as possible.

    My health is slowly improving and I have a new doctor that found some faults in my medication that was a big shock to me. Especially my BP medication when he told me it was not effective for African Americans. I'm like, there is medicine that doesn't work on African Americans. Well there went 6 years of taking a medicine that almost could have damaged me for life.

    Thanks for the support and I'll try and do a better job of updating.

    I apologize answering so late. I couldn't take the system down before this setup. It kind of sucks that its been demoted from reef tank to holding tank. I haven't been showing it off because it sorta took a back seat from me recovering and some mysterious coral took over so I have to remove that rock. It has already outgrown 3 of my acros.

    Believe it or not I usually get my inspirations from smaller tanks and try to visualize them up scaled to my build. And your tank was one of my inspirations especially after I was reading about your Red Planet. I said to myself I have to have that piece in my tank. And so far the frag I have is doing well.

    Thanks for everything.

    Hey Bruh, how long have you had the goniopora(flower pot)? And do you feed it?

    I have had it for almost two years now. It is originally neon green but since I have been working on this build I have been slacking on the 225 and I need to change the MH bulbs badly so most of the corals will hopefully color back up.
