Thanks guys for the nice comments. I am very happy with the UV unit. When I posted the setup I had it just installed and saw some improvement in water clarity but now having it running for a while it is amazing. I always had good quality but never saw the water as clear as it is now. To...

Quick video. Just click on the picture below to watch the vid. It is in 720p HD and might require a fast connection Enjoy

And a couple fish pictures....

Time for a major update.... Maybe some of you remember my tank build I had here... You still can see all my pictures HERE Having to travel more and more for work and a little ALK disaster while I was gone I decided to go a different route for now and for the first time ever I...

Other updated pictures:

Sorry guys for being absent for a while. Been crazy busy with travelling for work. Here are a few updates: The tank is running now for about 9 months and doing is better then ever after a big mishap. While I was gone my buddy who takes care of tank while I was gone didn't notice the Alk...

Time for a little update. There will be a "big" update next week. A fellow reefer who had a stunning tank for many many years decided to leave the hobby and was selling off all his beautiful corals. I was able to get quite a few from frags to colonies. Will pick them up next week and post some...

Today I tried to make a video from the Elos. It is not the greatest but not that bad either. It seems camcorder and LED's don't like each other that much and the true colors of the corals don't always get captured very well. Therefore I included some cool pics to illustrate how the corals...

Quick shot to show how nice the coralline starts to grow. There was no LR when I started. Just dry rock. NO pic manipulation. That's the way it looks

View from the couch... Best I can do now. Will take pics from the other side this evening when the room is dark and no reflections.

Installed some more equipment to make life easier Besides the RO/DI storage tank (top) I installed a second one for mixing and storing saltwater. Inside the tank there is a heater and a Maxi-jet for flow. Attached also another Maxi-Jet on the faucet connector to pump the water more quickly to...

A few new shots. Pics are taken only 1 hour after I got them into the tank. All picked up from a local reefer....

Thank you Al.

I dose Omega and Pro Skimmer and my softies are doing really good actually but I must say I only dose once a week and way below the recommended dosing.

Think it is time to update my thread again with some color....;) The tank is doing great. The Elos Purist Line is doing a great job. Even with heavy feeding it keeps the nitrates and phosphates down to 0. Here are some pics. Stll some issues with the camera and the LED's to get great...

System has been running for 2 months now. So far I am really pleased. For now I only have about only 6 smaller LPS and a pair of Snowflake Clowns in the tank. Once I am back in town next week I will add more livestock and post pictures. I have been feeding the fish and corals quite heavily...

Thanks... I really like the LED's are not to powerful like some others you can't run them at full powers or others who are to weak to keep SPS. I don't think you can associate a particular coral to a particular PAR number but it is nice being able to measure every spot in your tank to see...

Thanks buddy. Note the pictures were taken in the morning with only the blues on. When the whites come on the tank looks more like in the 14k range. I really like the Apogee. Very easy to use and quality build. Little more expensive as others but worth the money

I did some PAR readings today with an Apogee MQ200. The LED's are about 3" above the water level and 9" above the highest LR in the tank. I kept the Wavebox and the MP40 to keep the "normal" environment in the tank while measuring. Without those running the numbers should be higher. FRONT...

You could spot dose and that works also but there might be some between the rocks or in some caves you overlook or can't see and when you don't kill it all it will come back
