I'm serious and never had any algae issue

I can't tell if your serious or not... haha

I'm serious and never had any algae issue

Some of my outdoor/windowsill planted stuff has 0 algae issues as well.

Even though I'm comparatively new to reef keeping, I have to assume that with the proper balance of CUC alongside nutrient import and export, algae does not have to be an issue with windowsill reefkeeping at all.

There's a guy who lives in Encino with a huge outdoor setup, and with the assistance of various angels, has absolutely 0 algae.

The water was really cloudy from the sand and the miracle mud in the fuge. I ran the alpha 200 and now the water is crystal clear! I forgot how awesome that skimmer is.

I gutted the T5/ MH fixture that I want to use. The Hydras will fit in there perfectly!

I can't decide if I want to hang the fixture or build a canopy.

Ok! Got the zeo reactor going today and I started the zeovit 14 day cycle. The zeo reactor is being fed by the independent manifold which is powered by a Deep Blue DC pump.

Tank is on day 6 of the zeovit 14 day cycle. No algae yet. I'll add the first fish in 4 days. I opened the curtains so natural light can hit the tank. Still can't believe how clear the water is.

Also got some new toys to build the frame for the canopy.

I've never done wood working before but I'm excited to learn

The second you tell yourself and accept the phrase, "I only get to cut once," you're golden.

Dang that looks good! That water is crystal clear, sun rays look cool. How much did that stand end up costing you, doing it yourself?

I'm interested to see how the colors in my sps will be effected by natural and artificial light.

Decided to remove the backing (I ordered the tank with no backing)

Running siporax in the overflow

What are the benefits of that? Wouldn't detritus settle in between and on the bottom?

Had to put the rest somewhere. I'm not worried. Because of its low flow the overflow will become a refugium for detritivores
