Hey guys, ever since I started using RO water, my algae problem has slowly started to diminish. I still have a few traces of diatoms, but they're going away. Anyways, here is where I am at as of now.

The total tank volume is about 105 gallons with the sump, and I have replaced 50 gallons with RO water so far, and I am preparing another 20 to do at the end of the week.

Well I have a Seio 1500 which pushes 1500 gph a maxijet 1200 @ 295gph and my return pump which is a Quiet one 3000 attached to a SCWD. After head pressure I get about 540 gph. For a protein skimmer I am using an Aquac ev 120 which is being upgraded to the aquac ev 180 in the following weeks. I also uitlize a refugium in the sump. Lighting consists of 2 250 watt EVC 10k bulbs supplemented with 2 110 watt VHO superactinics.
