Alright, that brings us up to today. Please feel free to comment or question on anything in past posts. I realize there are gaps and things I just forgot to post about. I'll try post more consistently moving forward.
following this build. Love the scape!

I see clowns in that last picture... I think we need an updated Full tank shot, as well as a stocking list. Also what lights did you settle down on?
No corals in this tank, yet. (Sold off my softies 2 tanks ago when considering taking a break from the hobby)
As for the lights, I ended up keeping the AI Hydra 26HD (for now). I miss the shimmer and Apex integration of my Kessils, but while I FOLR, the Hydra is more than enough.
Sorry, a couple more blasts from the past.

Step 1 was to add a 2nd RO/DI chamber to ensure absolute 0 TDS.
Decided to try a couple of flexible sprinkler hoses for my fill hose. I'm getting a few drips of a leak at the coupler in the middle. Not sure why. I may just switch back to a 3/4" barb and flexible bilge tubing.

Picked up a new (to me) toy. A friend of mine gave me a great deal on his extra Amcrest PTZ IP camera. It lived on a tripod for a few days until I picked up this suction cup mount today.

Glad to have you documenting your build here!

Nice. I got some used reefsaver rock, "power washed" it with a hose on the jet setting, and soaked it in bleach/water for 10 days. The rocks looks amazing now! but it smells like a swimming pool. I dumped the water and soaked it in RO-DI water for a day. dumped that, then added tap water with a decholrinator. smells a little less like a pool now, but I'm soaking it in RO-DI water again. After that should I just let it dry outside and I should be good?
If I recall, I did 3 100% water changes. Each with a triple dose of Prime. They still had a slight bleach smell untill after they dried in the sun. I think the remaining bleach gasses off while drying.
