Talking Classroom SPS System - Post Summertime Update - Pics!

Well folks, another 11 weeks of summer passed without major incident...

> zero water change in 11 weeks (top off RO/DI of course)

> temperature spikes (bought a new JBJ 1/5 HP chiller)

> toxic caulerpa outbreak = bleached corals

> 'over-did-it' on the phosban

...back on the right track now

FULL TANK with NEW TUNZE 6100x2 + Multicontroller

No, it's still there on the left hand side of the display - it lost it's amazing blue color over the summer - the tips are starting to return to a bright electric blue - I think in another month or 2 it will return to its full glory....sad to see it lose color though...the brian is Reefermadness too...
