    You have a beautiful tank! :)

    Looks like an ASM G2 or 3.

    It's an ASM G2 modded, there are newer design skimmers on the market since I bought this one a few yrs back but I think it's well built, does a good job and it's not too hard on the wallet.

    Thanks. I use reefcrystals salt mix. I use to dose B-Ionic 2-part, vodka and amino acids, worked great but too time consuming so I went back to a fuge and I installed the CA reactor about a year ago. In addition to the reactor now I only does Mg and Lugals (iodine) weekly. The CA reactor is great when it comes to cutting down on maintenance, the only down side is that my pH runs a bit low 7.8-8.2 due to excess CO2, my tank being in the basement doesn't help either.

    Over the last few days I noticed my pH is not going above 8.05. I modified the air inlet on my derso stand-pipe to attach a 3/8 tubing with a shut-off valve for adjustment, I then ran the tubing outside...pH jumped back up to 8.2. I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my skimmer air intake, that might get my pH up to 8.3-8.4

    my anemone split, looks like it's splitting every year. Last year it split in 3, yesterday it split in 2. Both of them look healthy.
