Thanks Vince, I don't think they will ever be "brimming" with corals but I like to dream as well.

Right, finally I got all my circuits ran for the tank 2-20amp and 2-15amp should cover what I have now.
Here is a pic of the tank with all the lights on....The heat is really kickin'. What do you all think of the aquascaping? J/K thats just the rock I couldnt fit in the sump.

Here is a shot that you can see the blue tint of the halides in.

An experiment
Well, I lowered my lights last night to about 6 inches from the water. I turned them all on and went to bed. I got up 11 hours later and it raised the temp from 81 degrees to 84 degrees. So, I think that it would not be a problem to have the lights about 12 inches off the water and on for 5 or 6 hours a day during the summer and I bet I could increase that time to 9 or 10 hours in the winter. I am going to do it again tonight but I'm going to raise them up to 10 inches I will also lower the temp to my desired temp (I have it raised to 81 to speed bacterial metabolism) of 79 degrees and see what it looks like in the morning.

Does anyone know where the PH probe goes for the PH controller on the CR-6?

Here is the reactor in action. Everything is good (one leak I see though). I still need to get the PH controller and I still don't know where the prob goes. Any one know?
Don't you just love the Giraffe print table?
Out of all the things I have, this will be my favorite peice of equipment, seconded by the skimmer. |

Way to awesome that is some very impressive equipment. My guess would be somewhere after the water mixes up some. Otherwise if you put it to close I think it will just turn you CO2 on and off all the time. Just my guess.

The PH probe goes on that short effluent line that connects the two chambers. My reactor only has a single chamber, so I'm going to install it in the PVC line coming off of the pump, with a ball valve on each side so I can do probe maintanance without draining the reactor. |

You weren't wrong at all. The water's had a chance to mix well after it leaves the first chamber.
