Sump, pic taken after getting everythin in there, wires a mess

 

your tank is amazing...

 

Wow I love the look of your tank, very nice and clean design.
How old is this tank? You seem to have a lot in it if you just got it this past April.

Keep posting the pics,

Awesome

 

Thanks, I ordered the tank in January, and within a week, had rocks cooking in a big tote, I used rocks out of my sump to seed Marco Rocks I ordered. I placed 80% new rock in with 20% rock from my existing 60G custom that was up for over a year. None of the rock i reused was in the old sandbed. And each rock was sloshed in 5 gallon buckets of saltwater to get rid of any detruis build up. Because some of the rock had GHA and BA on them, I began a mild vodka dosing schedule using 2 ml of vodka a day. I also started the tank with 2 vials of Prodibio Biodigest to boost the bacteria in the tank.

Just short of 3 weeks, and my corals are starting to show the tell tale signs of ULN's, so I will start to dose 4 drops of Zeovit AA's every few days. My telltale sign of good parameters is my RBTA which looks better than before since he held onto his rock and i was able to get it into a lower flow area...

The GHA in that pic has disappeared from the tank....

 

Looks great. What size is it.

 

The tank itself is just under 110G, thanks

 

Is that bulb over your sump just to allow you to see into the sump or is there a mini refugium incorporated into part of the sump? I have read that bacteria systems to produce ULNS use a lot of potassium, do you test for this and supplement or are you doing more frequent water changes?
