    Hopefully several pieces at a time. Like 10-20. After my 180 is stocked it will be a frag tank. I already have a 40b hooked to the 180 system that I use for a frag tank and fish observation tank. It will be nice to have a separate system incase qt or just more space for corals.
    You can never have too many SPS.

    So you have to lift the whole canopy off to get into the tank?

    No, the canopy will hang on a cable mount. And hang about 8-10 inches above tank.
    I will be able to raise it up for maintenance if needed.

    And I better add that I am switching from 2 Part dosing to a Calcium reactor.
    I have a Geo cr624 coming next week. I need to get an aquarium plants co2 regulator, a feed pump, a co2 tank, and a module for my apex to control the ph in the reactor.
    If anyone has any spare stuff around let me know. I am going to run the TLF Reborn reactor media and some magnesium to put in there too.
