Congrast Adrian, an amazing tank to kick off MR's TOTM. I'm also a big fan of your aquascaping---great use of positive and negative space.

[Sean]

I remember when this was just in the planning stages. The tank is absolutely beautiful, great job.

 

[Awibrandy]

Congratulations MR! MR is truly moving on up!

Adrian, CONGRATULATIONS!! The tank looks absolutely amazing! Even better then when I saw in person! That is something since we all know that pix never do a tank justice. I can only begin to try to imagine how magnificent it must look in person.

Great choice for 1st. TOTM Kat, great questions as well! Glad I wasn't the one that had to answer them.hehehehe

 

[Zuska]

Thanks everyone!

I don't test for it, but I do 2 drops of Luigis/day.
Alk is between 7-8, Cal 400, MG 1400+, Phosphates .03 via hanna digital phosphate meter, nitrates are undetectable

How are you keeping the Mg so high?

 

[strendo]

How are you keeping the Mg so high?

I use bulk reef 2 part that I mix myself and dose a big swig twice a week. That usually keeps it in the 1400 range

the tank looks bananas!!!!! Nice Work

 

[strendo]

Thanks!!
Here's some pics of the sump room in the basement. I'm a little embarrassed by how messy everything is (looks even worse in pics!). I've been meaning to clean up the plumbing and wiring, but just haven't had a chance to get around to it.
