    Rocketman's 370g 5'x5' Square Build

    I don't run miracle mud and I run my skimmer 24x7. I had a fuge on my previous system, but haven't put one in on this one yet.

    Rocketman's 370g 5'x5' Square Build

    My Second Generation DIY Kalk Reactor

    My Second Generation DIY Kalk Reactor

    My Second Generation DIY Kalk Reactor
