    water clearing up real good and reactor is kicking in too. i have it dial in about 700gph just tumbling around the media and trying not to stir it up. i had to shut down my skimmer since there was nothing left to skim.:D except the water..:D also did some cleaning today and all i can say is the magnavore 10 is truly amazing piece. will be finishing up on the chiller this week, but i might just take a break for few days or not :eek1:

    Ok I know it's a personal question but I have to know what this whole set up costs? This way I can save up my entire life and maybe be able to afford something half the size lol.

    ok here are some more updates, finally after so many days finished the chiller and rest of the plumbing.
    sheetrock was cutout then bulks were installed. ball and gates valves were used throughtout the plumbing for fine tuning.
