New Nuvo 8

Yea there not to popular in SW because eventually they clog with detritus and start producing ammonia. Sharp looking canister though!
 
Thanks rosko23 :). I sold my main piece of lr the other day. it was matted with zoas and palys. I miss it, but im enjoying my new scape. The fluval g3 is doing a great job. a bit of micro bubbles, but in surges. Its actually kinda neat. I did a watertest today after another waterchange yesterday and everything is great. 0 across board for basic three and 550 cal, 8dhk alk, and 0 phosphates(api) . My ph holds very steady at 8.2 during the day and 7.8 to 8.0 at night. Ive been working on maintaining the temp. I figured a solution and its been steady at 81.5. This little graph on the g3 is really neat. it shows the crazy swings earlier this week. Im gonna use the old skyy leds to build a fuge light. My next step is the pickup some chaeto, a milli, or some branching monti. Im gonna stock this little guy till you cant see the back background! ill post some crappy evo pics later... thanks for lookin
 
Hey Matt, the next time you're out this way, stop by and grab a bag of cheato...I've got plenty. You may want a piece of this orange, branching monti I have. Let me know.
 
I added a RKL today. Im planning to use the ALC i purchased with it on my diy lighting. I have it controlling my heater, fan, daylight and moonlight. My temp has been between 80.1 to 80.6 all day. I set the rkl to turn heater on at 80.0 and fan on at 80.5. im very happy. i also didnt have to reach behind to turn on my moonlights either. Im planning to get the SL1 very quickly and get an ato setup.

My son has been turning my power strip off so I mounted it out of reach. My birdsnest lost a few branches because waterline fell. My zoas are slowing showing signs of "zoa pox". everything else seems to be doing great. Im gonna start dipping in a few days.
 
Man this thing has become a monster... Lol glad u are enjoying it... Let me know if u want my 16 too!!! Lol
 
Probable not a good idea anyways. I've been drooling over many tanks on here. I've got a clear vision and plan on my next tank. I'm not taking this one down. It's time to let it grow a bit. I'm jealous of those acans.

I thought i should update on the Fluval g3 now that im a few weeks in. I had to change the mechanical filter twice already. I started with the fine and now run the regular one. after 6 days the fine filter was clogged. Almost no water could pass. This other filter went 9 days without showing any resistance. I cleaned it just because its so easy. the filters themselves are a pita to clean and are expensive to replace. Im happy with a little extra elbow grease. I added a ball valve to the return to adjust it down a bit. The microbubbles have completely dissipated unless you change the filters out. I rock it back and forth to free any air left inside. Its still super quiet and i love the notifications. helps me keep on schedule. Overall i feel that they have been out for a while and people who own them love em. nah sayers who support eheim seem to be a bit short sided simply because of price. Ive maintained several pond canisters and an Eheim on my 55 fresh years ago. Not to say its not they are not beast of filter, but i hated undoing it and taking it outside to rinse every month. Its too easy to just twist and pull up the filter cartridges. No water on floor. I don't really use the conductivity often. i glance at it to see if anything has changed but it only rises if i stir up sand or feed with cyclopseez. Otherwise, i wish this filter had a built in heater. That would simply put it over the top. Do you guys think i could run gfo and carbon or is this guy a bit too small. I guess i could try, but im afraid the gfo will solidify or carbon could deteriorate. you cant see if the stuff is tumbling or not. its a shot in the dark imo.
 
Updated Picture

So the tank has been doing really well. I cured all my zoa issues. lost a few frags but it didnt beat me. Ive added a few pieces of SPS. Ive had my hands in there maybe two times in two weeks for like 3 minutes maybe. Im really seeing an improvement in the lps corals. New heads from the Dunkin, Acans, and even my frogsspawn is starting little sprouts. Im really excited about what this tank will look like in six months.
 
a is a huge large colony of zoas. B is a type of paly. Palythoa Cesia? C is a lavender and green acan and D is a Pink acan.
 
noooo i think ou are mentioning the purple green acan like where the box is .. im asking about the one below // the arrow pointed /
