Nothing noticeable...more testing this weekend...
I have also added 200ml of purigen. I cant believe I have ANY nitrates.

Yea, that seems to be the consensus I am getting.
Just realized how thin the cash flow is right now...the university is not paying me...again.
We will see. Hopefully they get their **** straight, and I can get the last batch of fish in this tank, so I can take another video for you guys to see!

Alright, a couple updates.
Update number one: Extreme financial crises due to the university changing the way they pay their staff. Fortunately, I think that I have the new system figured out, and I should start getting paid again...in the next two weeks. Lets hope that they make it rain with some of the cash they owe me from when the system was down.
Update number two: Last weekend I hit 0 nitrate...vodka, chaeto, purigen...who knows? The thing that kinda stinks about that...is that now I dont know what I have to keep doing. I am cutting the chaeto I think...especially if it starts to die off, which I am assuming it will. My 200ml of purigen doesnt seem to be moving much, and completely blocks the reactor. So I need a mag 12 or so to get some good flow through those suckers.
Number Three: Going to try to buy either two mp40's or two mp60's to replace the koralias...I need the more diffuse flow, and I also need the space, those things are huge in my tank. Hoping to also grab two mag 18's...one to get my flow up to the 1200 return rate I should have to match the overflow, and another to overdrive this EV400 skimmer.
Number Four: LASTLY...another DIY project.
Some of you might be familiar with the "SeaSwirl" http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-...glebase&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=feedexact
Now the question is...how do I DIY one of these...cant be two hard...I can make it sit on the edge of the tank, and get build the barb...I plan on using flow accelerators for the outflows. I want two outflows, and I need the 1200gph that my new pump should be putting out.
If anyone has any ideas how I could get this thing to rotate 90* so I can put one in either corner...that would be sweet. I am DIY'ing one of these if it kills me.
Hope that is enough to spark some conversation up again, cheers, Fleshy

Got all the parts I should need to finish my seaswirl build.
Nitrates still at zero for the second week.
Hopefully getting an order of fish soon:
3-5 anthias
1 multiple colored BTA
1 sort of bottom dweller/goby ish thing
1 tomini tang?
Possibly another wrasse...halichores?
Will be taking pictures of this build...so there will at least be something up here in the near future.

What are your thoughts on anemones being ticking time bombs? I see you're planning for a bubble tip. I suspect them to be the most forgiving and easy to care for, I am just now sure what the long term success is and would be interested to hear your thoughts. I personally would love a rose bta.
All anemones need proper lighting, water flow, feedings, and most importantly.... a mature tank. BTAs are, imo, the most forgiving anemone you can get. They are easy to feed, seem to tolerate a large array of lighting, and will host most clowns.
I want a BTA, but I am almost sure my maroons will love on it to death... literally. My tomatos were so desperate for one that they would hide in my fuzzy mushroom garden, love on them too aggressivly, and constantly force them to split.
