Nice Rich!
JL is selling these "pre setup" for $200 a pop as well.

Not too sure if those leds are good enough...hopefully it will suffice.

Thanks man, hopefully it's gonna work. I might even throw on some better lighting if those leds aren't good enough.

Algae reactor report.

Working awesome thus far. 3 weeks worth of growth gave me triple of what I originally started off with. I took out 2/3 of the mass and wrapped the chaeto around the pipe and its getting packed again. I must say I am impressed. LED light went bunkers and starts a rave show in the sump so I bought the reefcrest strip from JL, really liking it. I would recommend the reactor to anyone. JL has the whole setup on sale for $169, pretty good deal consider it comes with pumps hose and I think even a little bit of algae but don't quote me on it.

Here is what my reactor look like.



Got a kalkreactor also to combat the low PH I am experiencing.
