where did you order your storage tanks from and what are you doing with the old 65s?

He's been asked many times already and has not responded to this question. Why continue to ask?
Besides that, there's the fact that it's no one's business what the cost is.

I replaced the LumenMax 2 fixtures with the Lumenarc reflectors to get a little more light coverage in the tank. I thought the front corners and sides were a little dark to my liking. They make quite a difference.

Wow, it does make a difference. They reflect a lot more light, huh?

This picture was taken Sunday night before I changed the reflectors. Using the same bulbs & ballast, the tank looks much brighter to me.

One of the large Gigas clams was being picked on by one of the fish, (not sure which one), and the net is covering the clam to give it time to heal. Because of the size of the clam, I am forced to leave it in this tank and am waiting for it to heal up before removing the net.

A local reefer spotted this potential cause for the copper in the tank. This brass valve was was connected to the hose I used to fill the tanks. I didn't realize that brass contained copper........

Everything looks great!!! You've probably been asked this already but how do you handle your bioload because it looks like you have A LOT of fish in there? Once again though, absolutely amazing!
