I don't use a Ca reactor. I use the Balling method.

"Balling method" is adding two-part solution (or 3-part), like alkalinity and calcium (and Mg). Or were you just kidding, Tanya?

Iwan, is there a name for the type of reef ceramics you have where the powerhead is held in the top 'box'? Was that something custom, or is there a special name for it? Im thinking about getting something like that for my tank.

So they just call it a 'stream rock'... and did you bond it to the other pillars then, or did they do that for you?

No, I did it that's not a big thing. Reef Bond works pretty good for that

iwan, you use to have the korallin ca reactor on the other tank, how did you like the brand, which model did you have, and did it keep up with the ca demand?
thanks

I have a question for you about your bulbs, do you run them in 1:1 order?
As in:
Aquablue Special
Blue Plus
Aquablue Special
Blue Plus
etc...

Amazed as usual Iwan. Do you ever take on brownouts and watch them color up in your system? Or are you really particular about what you put in?

beautiful, I went to medical school in Switzerland, I know how compulsive and exacting things are done there, no surprise to see a reef tank so immaculate, very nice

Thank you. Your color looks spot on so I may just change out my KZ bulbs for some ATI.
Beautiful pictures, as usual! Thanks for being such an inspiration

Iwan, why aren't your original build pictures loading? All I see are red X's. Hopefully it's temporary.

He's either moved or removed them from where they were hosted. Once that happens he'd have to put them back in a new post.
