If you do go back to a skimmer and no longer have one, I recommend looking into Eshopps PSK-75H that I run on mine. Very happy with it, and you can...
Wow! All of this in 3 months! What an amazing transformation :) Looks great!
AKA Spaghetti Worm I believe. I found a couple in my 55 :) Good members of the CuC.
At that point I would just buy a manufactured unit. I myself have an Eshopps 1000 GPH box. Through 7 months, and hundreds and hundreds of start &...
Because both sides (PVC inside the tank, and PVC outside the tank) retain water after the pump turns off. That is the key. The way the siphon works...
Those are some beautiful corals, thanks for sharing!
Green Slimer is a good "beginner SPS", but still requires a lot of flow, light, and a stable tank (no Alk swings).
More than mine ;D But his is more of an extreme example, and to show what you can do with a nano cube.
I keep all 4 of my tanks (2 reef, 2 FOWLR) at 1.025-1.026. Figured it made sense to keep fish at the NSW level as well.
Sorry, I should have elaborated. You NEED the box on the outside, as that is what keeps the system primed. Both sides of the box have water in them...
I have 2 QT setup currently. One is a 46 gal bow that has live rock, sand, skimmer, carbon reactor, powerheads w/ wavemaker, and a heater of course....
If your pump output is 1", I would personally run the entire return line in 1". Do not bush it down.
Only if you drilled, which I think you said you can't. Otherwise, you have to siphon the water to the other side of the overflow box.
Just to let you know, the TDS meter's resolution is 1 PPM, so that read 6 PPM, not .06.
Love the BSJ; mine does the same, following me around the room :) Tank looks great!
Beautiful tank! Love all the activity as well. Thanks for sharing!
I use HydroCarbon 2 and have been happy with it so far.
I am not sure exactly what you are asking. Not any more Cheryl! They stopped making them a little while ago. I think you can still get a...
I added all LR at the same time. Very quick cycle doing it this way. Nitrates were below 20 after 2 weeks, and 0 after 3. I had tons of life on the...
Eshopps makes a nice overflow box. The 1000 GPH model has dual outlets on it.
