miracle tank lol no its not. thanks though 
Paul that Cali Tort you hooked me up with is huge! Its going to turn into a colony hopefully really fast. Thanks man. The turquoize stag is super nice I hope I can keep its blue tips.

400 watters do make a difference in GROWTH!!!
I cant wait to see when the turquiose stag grows out
Sixline = The Devil, they are nasty! I had one bully nearly all my fish even though he was last in the tank. T'was a great day when he jumped and got half eaten by the cat - SIGH -
I have a Lumenbright which is going over my 67gal, you are right though light spread isn't great. I would say 30 x 24 with the large. Still gonna have to use it though. I will just have to aquascape around it.

The only thing the 6 Line is good for is eating flatworms. I think capturing him would be nearly impossible, but im going to try.
Ive got the lumenbright DE which is a mini its only 16x16" so the light spread sucks. Ive got most of my sps situated in the middle so this reflector will do just fine for the first couple of months.

Reef Keeper has been mounted to the left corner.
My T5 ballast & ReefKeeper SL1
My Calcium reactor has its own lil stand
Enough RO/DI water to last a life time for evaporation, 65g!
A huge mess of wires in my stand!! NooooOOooOOOOoo!!!
Does this look normal?? I don't understand why the gauge on the left is near 0 and the gauge at the right is near 50? I hope the tank isn't empty.
A really nice frag of a Cali Tort that Paul hooked me up with. This thing is gonna be awesome in 6 months when its a huge colony!!

I sounds like you are running the reactor really hard for a tank that size. I would drop the bubble rate to 25 a minute and adjust the effluent so you run your PH in the reactor from 6.6.-6.8. start slow or your going to get a huge alk spike.
use teflon on the threads and you have to tighten the compression nut pretty tight to compress around the PH probe

Thanks Paul. I was running it at 1 bubble per second and my ph in my reactor was still not going lower than 6.7 and I put my reef keeper to control it at 6.5. I was following the start up directions on geosreef.com But I guess they base that offa a fully stocked tank. Not an empty one hahahaha.
Ill make the adjustments right now to 25 BPM and a PH of 6.7 on the controller. Thanks man

Hey Paul, is it okay to have my effluent in the water? Right now the effluent is dripping on top of the skimmer pump BUT the gate valve on the skimmer is so powerful it literally blows the water away and into the baffles. I was thinking I could zip tie the effluent to the skimmer pump inlet. lmk thanks
