Loving the crisp blue of 20k halides and the shimmering
Yeah! I talked with Dave Botwin and he's waiting for you to pick up the tank.
Coverage looks great, what reflectors are you running?

I’m waiting on home owners insurance to approve on a tank of that size

I didn’t want to have any issues if shit hit the fan. I know our house is built on sandy foundation and wanted to make sure a tank that size wouldn’t cause a slab crack. So I contacted the manufacturer and my insurance to make sure

The reason I contacted the manufacturer and issue is. When I had my 300g in yucaipa during the 4years that tank was up and running our home had 3 slab leaks. I talked to two other neighbors and they had 1 slab leak each. It seems like quite a coincidence that in 4ys of time that house got 3 slab leaks. After the 3rd leak my plumber was like “hey man , idk what the fuck is going on with this house. I’ve only had 1 other slab leaks in this neighborhood. But yours has had 3 now. I think you should have the house repiped with PEX tubing.” So the house got re-piped. Granted this house is already PEX tubing. But where I would be putting the tank sits 2 feet from the natural gas main.

Thanks. I got it as old school ora tri-color valida. But it could be purple valida
Makes sense. That's a lot of weight in one spot, so it's better to be careful, especially around gas lines. Btw, I somehow overlooked your post about going back to halides, fuck yeah! Welcome back to the club! There's nothing better for acropora (and clams) than halides.
