Well, tank is still trucking along. Details in the description.
So I’m going your route finally. I’m getting rid of colonies and putting in frags.Update: 1 year 3 months. Been a bumpy ride. Had a Triton Core7 crash early on. Not the best way to start a tank. It went like this. Started the tank with BRS 2-part and then switched to Triton. Tank crashed and I switched to ESV. After realizing what happened I went back to Triton. Didn’t get the results I was looking for so I switched to ESV after running out of Core7 and finally switched to a Calcium Reactor. It’s amazing I got any growth at all with all these changes! One thing is certain. I don’t feel like a calcium reactor is the end all. The stability is there, but leaving your home to fill CO2 bottles gets annoying. To be quite honest...my ALK numbers were tighter (less swing) when using my GHL dosing pump and 2-part, but the stability of a Reactor is much better IMO. It’s not that 2-part won’t yield results, it’s just gonna take most people longer to get the same results. At the end of the day, both ways of supplementation require tinkering. If I had to pick it would be both. I like have the GHL dosing pump to supplement or as a backup to the reactor, but the reactor is just more stable and this was evident within the first few weeks of observing the corals.
How big is your CO2 bottle? I used to run a 20/lb tank it lasted almost 9 months.
Two tanks is the best way to go-its nice to have a backup tank.
Calcium reactor is the way to go IMO.
Tank made it 1 year 4 mo 15 days.
Tank is being drain this weekend. Just sold the last fish to RR-MAN and corals went to everybody over the last couple weeks. I’m smoked. I think 15 people came yesterday. It was brutal but it’s done.
Till the next one!
I think he just enjoys building systems more than managing them. I’ll give it six months and he will be planning a new one! Haha

You’re real good about setting up and taking down...what happened?

I would just assume that is pricey especially since there is no way you can get back what you put in it..

New build coming soon I’m sure [emoji4]
And you suppose that’s quiet? HahaHaHa...I doubt it. I may get he itch later, but it honestly feels excellent not having to worry about another task.
My house was DEAD Silent last night. It was nice. No water trickle, no Calcium Reactor cavitation, no Carbon Doser click click click. NO STRESS of having to test.
I just spent $750 on my wife for a Karaoke setup.

See I hate that. I have experienced it couple of times. Without the reef tank noise I feel like something is missing. [emoji4]
