Well it's been a few years to the week nearly and the tank is going again. As life and jobs deemed more time the tank sustained but didn't florish. I made an hour move and had quite a few setbacks and lost most of my sps and a few plate sized chalices. But after a led light revamp and a brand new 90gallon I'm finally set back up.
Here is the new diy led revamp 6 dimmable channels cluster form with 10 colors. Running 2 t5 HO bulbs as well

Here is my most recent pic tonight with almost everything transfered from the 2 holding tanks.uploadfromtaptalk1460350751163.jpg

Dosing is dialed In and starting to get some color back I've been slowing re stocking all my fish since initial start Jan 25th.

It's been a while but finally hit 1 year 1 month of the reset up and previous destruction.
Had a bad mag plunge and browned out the tank. Finally picking back up! Upgraded the return to a Red dragon 80w and the skimmer pump to a reef octopus 5500s dcs pump. Both are incredibly quiet just need to re plumb to a herbie to eliminate the sump "gurgle". Scraped the coraline clean and starting tropic marine balling lite system with aquaforest salts. Added a pair of leapord wrasse which ate immediately, And just yesterday the girlfirend got me a deresea clam! Pretty excited!uploadfromtaptalk1487477474631.jpguploadfromtaptalk1487477484166.jpguploadfromtaptalk1487477493732.jpguploadfromtaptalk1487477501543.jpguploadfromtaptalk1487477550662.jpguploadfromtaptalk1487477569262.jpg

Really nice tank, One of the days I would love to have big sps like you mine are all small, lol. Really awesome tank.
Appreciate it! Key to it is dosing and keeping the big 3 consistant. I have up to 1/2+ growth on my monti's and birednest and solid 1/4" growth on some acros. Lol compared to some of the other tanks I drool over its nothing!

Well decided to upgrade to the quiet drivers for the mp10 and the mp40 (actually mp20) the mp20 didn't work and a quick call to ecotech and it was fixed! What great customer service! So I purchased another mp40qd and the neptune wxm and moved the mp10 to the rear wall. wow flow is amazingly random,significant poylop extention off the bat! Anyone have any experience programming 3 vortechs through apex fusion? Too much flow...nahhhh never

Well the time has come, hurricane irma is bearing down upon us! Got bubblers, small powerheads, a small generator and some frozen blocks of ro water. Power will probably be out for weeks. In the direct path of the storm. Got another 12 hrs of power and then the battle begins, evacuated my gf's livestock from her biology tanks from school (teacher) uhhhh.. wish us luck were gunna need it in cape coral. And my sps were just recovering from the move last month :/
