    Tank Update

    So I've been spending a good amount of time on the tank over the past few weekends. I was able to get everything up and running except the GFO / Carbon filters which I'm not even sure I'm going to need for a while. The RKE has been updated and I've been playing around with the new Radion's via Echosmart live. I'm planning on using part of my fuge area for fragging and think I may need another PAR38. The ammonia in the tank seems good (Salifert test is hard to read) and the nitrates are around 50ppm. Going to do a water change this week and keep an eye on things. I'm hoping to have some additions within the next few weeks depending on the cycle and bacteria growth. Here are some updated photos.

    I'm thinking about upgrading to the same tank soon and I also have mp10's that I want to use. Have you have any or noticed any issues with the mp10s on that thick of glass... If I'm not mistaken its 5/8ths and mp10s are rated up to 3/8ths
