Hello Everyone,
With Steve's LED's retrofit weeks away from completion has made my 650 purchase one step closer. I wanted to ask you current owners a couple of questions. I will be doing a mixed reef of SPS/LPS.
1. Did you customize your sump?
2. Do you have Cheato Morpho or some other Algae?
a. What type of light did you install. I was thinking of an LED to not increase heat.
b. I wanted to use this area for Cheato and housing some zoa/paly's that need time to heal before going into the sump and falling off the plug.
3. Did you replace the skimmer?
a. What did you replace it?
4. Do you run a calcium reactor, 2 part, drip?
a. What kind of reactor/s(I want to go with Calc Reactor so any feedback on a quality one would be appreciated)?
5. Are you using Bio-pellets? I have heard mixed results with SPS.
6. Did you increase your ATO capabilities with an additional storage container?
7. My LFS is charging a 500.00 transportation and setup fee. Is that about right?
So many questions. I have gone over many threads but these are some of areas I am not 100% sure of.
Any pictures or videos would be great, sorry a visual guy.
I will not be purchasing it right away; I want to make sure I have everything planned out before I bring in the behemoth.
Thanks for you help in advance.
