Powered up my return pump & installed a filter sock & walha, I got a clear tank in 4hrs I got a clear tank!! ;D
Limpit it was YOU!!! I built my sump/refuge on your design example. One problem it has a SERIOUS flaw that I learned at my expense. Silicon will NOT...
Wow that's a lot. Having that much calcium in your water right now, then it should look like it's snowing in your tank.
Ah, that sucks!!! I know how you feel. I just filled my 90gal with saltwater & sand for the first time & my tank looks like a snow globe right now.
Great read. K+ for you my friend.
Ok thanks.. So how long should I wait before I can start up my return pump. I shut it down this morning to see if I can get it to settle faster. I...
Oh God?? Hmmmm.. I mixed a bag of CaribSea Aragonite Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand 30lbs fine & CaribSea Aragonite 15lbs coarse (not sure which one off...
Hmm, the hole is odd. From the pic the hole looks big.. I have see some fish, crabs, mantis, & pistol shrimp do them as well. Here's an idea....

Drained the test freshwater out of my entire system & wiped down the display & sump/refuge tanks. Mix my sand & rinsed it. WHAT A PAIN THAT WAS!!!
I purchased my Instant Ocean salt in bulk 4 50gal packages. Wow now I know what Tony Montana felt. "Say goodnight to the bad guy." LOL.... ;D...
I was getting to much vibration up the wall from the basement, so I replaced the rigid PVC to flex PVC after the return pump. A lot better now.
Bogie, Thank you so much!!! I couldn't find this answer even on Instant Ocean's website. I bought mine in bulk & was just shy of 10gal to start up...
Silicone will not adhere to acrylic, it's too smooth. Trust me I learned the hard way when I built my sump/refuge. I would use glass or plastic, with...
Well I have a 3gal pressure storage tank on my RO/DI system so it's not that crucial, plus a 32 & 66gal tanks. Just right now when I need to make 130...
