Still dont have it all hooked up yet as I want to rebuild our well water room to add water capacity. Also going to add an RO system to make sure that my water for the tank is the best it can be.

I will update with some pics as soon as I give the tank a once over to straighten it out a bit.

Hey all its been a while.....

So made a few changes to the setup as of late with a few more to come. I ditched using GFO and went back to the bio pellets as well as added an algae scrubber to hopefully get my phos down to exceptable levels. I purchased a Mars Hydro 300w LED for the scrubber on Ebay and man that thing is BRIGHT but I am thinking I should put it on a timer to control the light so its not on 24/7. If anyone has an algae scrubber please chime in with what you got going.

Also after several yrs of service I noticed that my DIY LED's where having issues and with Modular LED no longer existing I decided to replace them with Radion G3's.

So I will have the auto water change & top off system installed after I get an RO unit purchased. Now I can here most of you know...."YOU DON'T HAVE AN RO UNIT YET!!!" Well in fact yes I do but its for the whole house to clean the well water which is horrific. The only reason I am adding an small RO unit is just to make sure that my water is as good as it gets beside on the plus side my filters, membrane & DI should last a hell of a long time.

More updates and some pics some.
