Interesting, and all along I have been hitting the "pause" button on my reefkeeper 2 to stop circulation between the sump and the tank for 5 minutes...
I see you have created a little wet/dry filter.... We extended the end of the overflow tube so that it was below the water line in the sump, this...
I found that a new rubbermaid 30g garbage can fit with a float valve has been very convenient for storing the water. To get it out, I have used a...
There are pros & cons to doing that... it seems best to have the refugium light run in a cycle opposite of the main tank lighting... this helps to...
As asked earlier, do you have test results from the effluent of the CDN as well as the tank to see what the delta is? I'd run some additional tests...
That is tight. It will likely limit your choices for skimmers and refugium lighting and other equipment. I suspect that you will need to spend time...
I don't know how well that would work. I think I'd still be concerned with the substrate and live rock as there is normally, a very slow turnover of...
Good day, Welcome to 3Reef... You will find many good ideas documented into the forums on this board which you'll want to consider as you work...
While we use calc reactor today, before hand we used C-Balance and were reasonably happy with the results...
Good description of the processes, any example photos of the molds you have made and what the finished product looks like?
Morning, How wide will you be able to make it, 18 - 24 inches? What stock are you considering for the Fuge? If that second leg on the left...
I have gone the road your considering, we nuked the rock as you indicated but chose to pitch the sand... a small price to pay to ensure that we are...
I'm using one of the Reef flow pumps coupled with the Ocean Motions valve with the same insert your asking for.... but this is much more than $400......
We are setting up the 120g peninsula... maybe we can make more rock....
As has been said, after much trial and error, once you get it the way you like it, you will find a reason to move something and the cycle will start...
For us, the decision to move from a 75g to a 120g display tank gave me the opportunity to start over with my live rock. Near the end of running...
Don't know about your setup, but if you could allow evaporation to lower the operating water level a bit, and maintain your filtration, you can raise...
I have read about this method on other forums. You are doing a very good job. One of your future challenges will be to keep the floor section from...
Welcome, You'll find we do like to share pics...
Another thought, if the center hole with the strainer is set low in the tank, it was likely used for a closed loop recirculation system. This would...
