Some Equipment shots. Using Kalk for my topoff now that my bioload is consuming more than a water change can handle. Just plucked a bunch of cheato from the fuge so their looks like very little in the pics below. Now running a 12watt T5 unit on my fuge. We'll see how that turns out....thank you Reefstock 
See post below for my lighting updates.

Thanks man! Yep, I use my RKL for all lights but I cannot control spectrum or anything special...these CAD LED's arent that special. The RKL is basically just turning them on/off. I do however run a RKM-MLC Moonlight module which simulates a day 30 day moon cycle. I use 1X Blue Pod with 2 tiny LED's from DA.
Early on I added 2 12" 453n Stunner Strips for Dawn/Dusk and just added the 24" Magenta/Royal Blue Stunner I won at Reefstock. So I have ALOT of supplemental light on this thing and the coloration/spectrum is getting better. I'd like some green and maybe 2 red diodes but I'll just wait till I upgrade to a bigger unit
Soon I'll move on from this unit and go to an AI Sol Blue or if I'm lucky something like a Radion. I want to be able to control the light with my RKL and my Mac.
I'm pretty happy with my lighting for now and all my stuff is thriving!
No I dont use those because they are manual only. My ramping is done with my supplemental lights and then the main fixture is run at 100%. My schedule is the following:
2- 12" 453n Actinic's on at 12:00pm
1 -24" Magenta/Royal Blue on at 1:00pm
Main ON at 100% Blues/Whites at 2:00pm
Main OFF at 100% Blues/Whites at 11:00pm
1-24" Magenta/Royals off at 12:00am
2-12" 453n Actinic's off at 1:00am
2- 12" 453n Actinic's on at 12:00pm
1 -24" Magenta/Royal Blue on at 1:00pm
Main ON at 100% Blues/Whites at 2:00pm
Main OFF at 100% Blues/Whites at 11:00pm
1-24" Magenta/Royals off at 12:00am
2-12" 453n Actinic's off at 1:00am

Ok, got it. I've been flipping mine manually, so it's not very precise. Need to look into a better solution
GL let me know if you have other questions or if you want help, I'm always down to help! Do you have a CAD Tank? Not many of us out there so I'd love to see some pics!
Well, the tank was torn down due to a move about 4 months after I started it. BUT its back up! Same equipment minus a few changes with totally different rock. Most of the coral was sold off but I still have a few pieces. The new setup is approx 1.5 months old. I'm working on trying to get funds together for my Big Boy Build 75g or 90g. I hope to have a project in my garage by November I'll take some new pics here this week! Thx for lookin
