I just wanted to share a few photos of my tank. I think most of my algae problems are behind me now. The tank has been problem free now for a few weeks and all I can say is about time. I hope you enjoy the photos and any feedback is appreciated.

This is the return on the left side on a closed loop which is fed by an Ampmaster 3600. I forgot to have a hole drilled in the tank for the inlet to the pump so you might notice the 1 1/2 inch pipe in the back which feeds the pump.

This is the canopy. I built this room in my garage around the tank and thought a vented canopy would help keep heat away from the tank. It seems to work well. There is a 6 inch fan on the top of the canopy which blows air through the ceiling. Works well but now I have to have the garage vented because it gets cooking in the garage.

The lights are on a slider which makes it very easy to work on the lights. I still need to do something with the cords. One more thing on my TODO list.

The sump is 55 gallons and the skimmer is a Euroreef 12-2. The reactor is a Lifereef which works great and the return pump is an Ampmaster 3000. The skimmer is a little disappiontment I think that my old Lifereef 36 worked a lot better, but it uses far less power and living in CA the electric bill can be a little steep.

And a look at what's going on inside the tank.

Very Nice! :)

You better check the battery on the PH meter. I can't believe your PH is really 8.80. ;)
