Hello

My names Tom and normally i have been sitting on a UK reef forum which has become alittle slow..

Decided to try Reef Central my tank is currently going through a rebuild process and as of now is currently filling backup with RO.

Tank Profile:

Tank Size 6x2x2 inc metal stand, cladded white and sump

4 x MP40wQD's
1 x Ecotech Vectra M1
3 x Radion Gen 3 Pro's on custom rail kit
1 x Vortex Alpha 250 Skimmer
1 x Apex Fusion Computer, including probes
1 x Aqua Medic Ozone cleaner
1 x TMC Ozone Unit
1 x Vertex RX-C 6D Calcium Reactor
1 x Tunze ATU

I recently had a bad outbreak of bubble alage and was bored of pulling it out all the time. I decided to acid wash the lot, steam clean the rocks, power wash mutiple times and blackout die off.

Recently been re-scaped and RO is pumping in with a TDS of 0.

Some photos of the current rebuild

Nice I like the setup. I would toss some t5 supplement to increase growth and color. How do you like that calcium reactor ? I was looking to go with one and removing the two part

The calicum reactor is one of the most important & best purchases ive ever made, growth is mental.
