I believe I have 3 x 200 watt heaters or 300 watt (can't remember) all run off of my Aqua Controller.

No, it's still just the one pump running everything. I have the pump choked off upstairs still and it's still giving me about 1200 - 1500 gallons an hour at the display.

My beckett skimmer is still skimming well even with the addition of the 20 gallon tank, and it feeds the 75 gallon water change tank and 40 gallon frag tank as well. I'm pretty happy with the pump so far.

The pump also feeds the skimmer? Interesting. What kind was it again? Dart Gold or something?

Thanks. If you look at the second FTS right behind the big clam is a little mini Milli colony - that's the frag I got from you a while ago when we traded. Looking forward to your build Jason.

Not too much to update here. Just got back from a 9 day vacation. Thank is in great shape. Only thing really happened was that I ran out of C02 for my CA reactor while I was away.

I thought, not big deal, but when I tested my levels this morning it kind of shocked me. My Alk is at 5dkh:puppydog: and my Calcium at 360. Wow, I really did not know my system consumed that much.

So I guess today I'll have to get C02 right away. I did notice visual growth after 9 days though. One of my corals noticeably got brighter and more neon, it was a fairly new addition right before I left.

That's all for now.

:shocked!: Wow! So Jealous :wink:

Ya wow, that's quite the Ca/ALK draw but considering how much beautiful SPS you have its understandable. Glad to see everyone is happy after you came back, I'm dreading my 3 week vacation in the summer because of this :neutral:.
