Louy99's 29g Biocube LED's & Sump

Welcome.
Tank looks awesome, great build!

(FYI, if you do decide to throttle back that phosban reactor eventually, remember to put the valve on the intake side. If you put it on the exit side, you pressurize the reactor which will likely cause leaks)

 

Update: tanks has been doing awesome! I have been using Kalk in my ATO water so I don't need to be dosing calcium and Alk anymore. Took a few weeks to get the right dosage but got it right now.

The Chaeto has grown a lot and I have trimmed it several times. I'll be posting pictures soon!

 

I've done a few changes since the last update. I made a little corner table to slide behind the tank to hold my ATO water. Bought 2 BRS Dosers to dose my CA and ALK, using B-Ionic jugs for this. Purchased an MP10 powerhead and extra Apex 8 bar extension. There is pretty much nothing else I can do now lol.

 

Congrats!!

Looking good, you will enjoy having the pumps, makes reefing easier.

 

Thanks Chris

here are a few more pics of the tank with my F3

 

Biopellet Reactor

 

Nice pics, love the Sea Star.

What biopellets are you using and how many? Also how long have they been active?

Please share as much info about them in your system.

Thanks

 

I'm using BRS bio pellets in a phosban 150 reactor powered by an MJ900. Using about 1 cup in there. It's been running for 2 weeks and I think it takes about 4-5 weeks for them to be active.

I was carbon dosing with Dr Tim's Waste Away Baceria but was running out and didn't feel like buying more to I chose pellets. IMO it's the easiest way to Carbon dose. FYI, a skimmer is needed when carbon dosing. I'll give an update in a few weeks.

 

I've been needing some tube holders for my dosing pumps but refuse to spend 15 bucks on something that took pennies to make. This is my DIY tube holders that were free

Made out of PVC and took 1 min to make

 

Cool idea!!! Might ned to try that out when I build my sump.
