Mudding and tapping is well on its way today! Should be able to paint by mid-week. I am still waiting on the replacement piece of glass for my overflow. If I don't get it from the builder soon, I will go out and get a new one cut at a local glass shop. I am excited to build the sump stand and start working on the plumbing!

And my third Mitras showed up so I will get to work hanging those once the mud dust has settled!

I just picked up these beauties! Avast Marine Works MR5 & MR10 media reactors, a Mutiny II ozone reactor, and the Kraken!

MR5

MR10

Mutiny II

The Kraken

The MR5 is for GFO, the Mutiny II will drain it's effluent into the MR10 which will be packed with GAC. The Kraken is a biopellet reactor I plan on running. I still need to chose which biopellets to run, as well as which ozone generator/air dryer/pump to use. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty stoked though!

Looking good Scott, coming together nicely.

Thanks Steve, I am really excited to put your concept/design into action! I'm just trying to make sure the parts I buy are of a high enough quality that I shouldn't have to replace them in a couple years. With proper maintenance they should last as long as the system is up I hope.

Are you going to upgrade your Mitras' to the new LED configuration? I haven't given it much thought, as it's another $900.

Yes, looking great. I wish I had an open room behind mine, that's the way to go for sure.

Nope, seems rather pointless for that kind of money. I might consider it the new version if I was buying new fixtures but upgrading all clusters for a couple more white LEDs in place of the red and yellow won't make a difference IMO. I don't run the whites full as it is so adding more won't really add any more light in my case. Even though the new LEDs names seem to suggest they are more of a blue white I'm still not convinced. Plus the yellow is nice for making orange sunrises and the extra red spectrum seems to have value as well. So between the two I'm still leaning towards the original.

Great build and Pictures.

I target feed almost weekly. I scanned my phone and was surprised I didn't have any pictures of the pectina in night mode. I will get one for you when I am home in a couple weeks.

Thanks Alberta Reef

How do I embed a youtube video so that it just plays on the thread?

Not possible currently with the version Canreef runs. They do show up embedded in Tapatalk though.

On the other hand, sweet vid! My Pectinia does not put out feeder tentacles except on rare occasion, and then only one or two.
