did you set your custom with a piece of white paper becide the tank so the tank lights are on it? lots of new growth and new corals since I was there last

Looking fantastic. Great pics. I cant for the life of me figure out how to take nice true looking pics like yours. I looked back at several pages of your many many posts to see if you have a thread about the pictured tank but couldnt find one. Do you have one so the rest of us can see whats under the "hood"? I would love to have results like this one day in my sps tank. Great job!
Thanks
Dave

Dave, I don't have a tank thread, just never have the time. It's a pretty simple setup, 180g, 75g sump, ATO, large DIY Ca reactor with Mg media added, carbon changed monthly, use a Zeo reactor and supplements, 3 x 400w Raium MH with supplemental actinic. 50g water change every other week. ER CS8-3 skimmer cleaned often. 1/2hp chiller plumbed remotely to keep things cool, feed at least once a day, usually twice. 2 inch sugarsand on the bottom, probably would rethink that decision
Apex controller to keep it all going (not a requirement, just easier). That's it. Pretty easy.
Look up Dez's TOTM thread, he goes into great detail on his stuff, with a simple lazy approach, and it works really well. Pretty much my philosophy, without the huge water changes -lol

Edit: forgot flow. 2x Tunze 6100 streams. Run different profiles from Apex depending on light cycle. Might add a wavebox if I can figure out how to fix it
