688s 100g Thread

I just wanted to say that my tangs colors look so good today that water change did them justice

 

My power blue must be feeling better from the nitrate his colors looking bright and he started being a bully again

 

so would you say the ozone is worth it, im not planning on getting one soon but i want to know if it should be on my wish list.

also the ozonizers do they require any maitinence to keep working

 

Do you have a way to track ORP in your tank??? That will tell you if you have too much dissolved organics in the tank. I run a O3 generator and love what it has done for the tank water. I keep my ORP at 390 and I notice that the skimmer works less when I keep it at this level. You will hear all kind of horror stories that people read repeat so be ready when you start to research. I run a very large 220v Del Ozone Eclipse 1 unit for swimming pool because those little Red Sea jobbies would run 24/7 to keep up with my tank.

 

I know i shuldent run 03 gen. with out orp ctrlr. but the unit I have is way under rated for my tank I runt at night and its a 25mg model. But im planing on getting that Aqua3 that we talked about soon

 

Just read through your thread. Although I had posted towards the beginning, I had not visited in awhile. Nice job dude. I am jealous of your tank being in your bedroom. I have a 10g nano I more or less snuck in there when my wife was away with her sisters.

 

Thank you

 

My Shopping list before I start adding more coral to my tank

5 Stage RODI systems – Setup with a float in my sump
Aqua Controller 3 – So I have ORP Controller & Wave Maker Upgrade + Kalkwasser Mix setup
Build a Denitrator
Expand my test kits
Switch Crushed Coral to live sand

Any Ideas or suggestions pros/cons agree/disagree with these changes Im thinking 600$ is the most it will cost me.

Also I raised my sump level to about 2/3 so I’m thinking about adding more LR to it
