Holy growth Bryman!!

Thanks guys, it's still very much a work in progress. But I have a feeling as soon as I can get the Ca reactor situation straightened out it will take the tank to the next level.
I have another leak in my Aquamaxx S-1, and it was barely keeping up with my Alk/Ca load almost maxxed out. Aquamaxx is going to take my S-1 back to research all the issues I had and are sending me an S-2 to replace it. I have to say they've had good, proactive customer service with all the build/design issues I've had.

Any LFS in the area sell course ARM media? I'm gonna need more for this monster.

Bryan,

First off, amazing SPS tank! I have a 90g TECH, as well, although mine is just in it's infancy at 2 months. I have been slowly adding LPS and what not waiting for the tank to mature a little, before I started adding SPS. I just revamped my aquascape and my parameters are settling in, so I am about to start loading in SPS frags to hopefully someday have a beautiful tank such as yours. If you want to sell me some frags in the near future, I would love to see your tank in person and buy a few! Keep the pics coming!

I just found your build thread on RC. I sure wish I had read it a few months ago lol. Are you still running the reef-octo BP reactor? I purchased the same one and have since taken it offline until I have a larger bioload. Was an awesome read over on RC, thanks for sharing here!

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the kind words. It's still very much a work in progress, but it's coming along. I am still running the reef octopus BP reactor, but only with about 200ml of pellets. I'm letting the refugium do most of the work now instead of BPs and then refugium.

I just found a few frags in the frag tank with redbugs, so I've gotta put my tank on QT for a few weeks. I dipped everything in Revive for 10 mins and watched those suckers fly off. Everything looks clean now, but I need at least 2 weeks to see if any come back and allow the frags to recover. I don't see any in my DT but will keep a careful eye on it. I don't want to use the last of my Interceptor stash unless absolutely necessary!

 

[Reeflogic]

Well hopefully it comes under control quickly, without too much headache! Keep me posted when you are ready to sale off a few frags! After showing my wife your tank, I think she finally "gets it"

 

[bryman]

Cool, when I am confident all is clean you guys can come over and check it out. Redbugs really aren't too big of a deal, but I would rather not run the risk of spreading the little f'ers.

Quick video update -

I have my replacement Aquamaxx Star S-2 calcium reactor set up now, and this one doesn't seem to have any issues. Here's a video of it in operation with my aquariumplants.com electronic regulator:

[madjoe]

Tank looks good the boobies colony got big. U moved some stuff around since last time me and the wife was by.

 

[trackfast]

Tank looks great.

They sent me the bigger S-2 in exchange for the S-1 at no extra charge. I have to say their customer service was proactive and very good between Aquamaxx and Marine Depot. They contacted me first after seeing my post about the issues I had on RC.
