    a little update, putting microbacter 7 daily after my skimmer turns off. and feeding the fishes twice a day with garlic extreme. so far no ich outbreaks. and the corals are doing OK. fed them phyto fest today and i can see them feeding off it. SO FAR SO GOOD!!

    i think i need a better return pump, currently using the return pump for the reactor and into the display. its rated for 250gph thats straight through the outlet, im running about 8 feet in hose's etc. really slow but its got my rowaphos to tumple OK.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    It's coming along very nicely.

    Tunze are great IME.

    Are you going to do some sps in the tank.

    Again it really looks great and the corals look very healthy, congrats.

    I thought real hard about a cadlights 70 gallon tank. But, I have to say, im glad I didnt, There customer service just wasnt good.. But if you could get past there service, there tanks are really sharp looking.
