looks good, are you going to rust that reflector for your fuge? It looks as if it would make contact with SW.

Thanks, and no its like 4 or 5 inches above the highest point water will go, plus the reflector is aluminum so it wont rust

I run gfo and carbon in a next reef reactor for about a month to a month and a half and I dose kent reef code A and B 2-3 mill every other day. As for water changes I havent done one since I wanna say march? I dont like to do water changes too often because If I get off schedule it seems like algea just goes crazy and my corals start to lose color.
