    Pumps

    I will be getting two of these and will run one on each return and additionally putting a manifold on each one for GFO, Carbon, Biopellets or fluidized sand bed.

    RLSS Waveline DC10000 Six Speed Pump w/Controller

    I like the controllability with these pumps. I can set them to any speed and they also have a feed mode on them.

    that's a real cool pump. Is it controllable from a whole system controller too?

    The fluidized sand, is that like a media reactor full of sand acting like a sediment filter or something?

    Yes it is. It is only controlled with its own controller as shown here.

    Yes. Basically another storage filter for bacteria.

    Build Temporarily on Hold Because of Summer Vacation

    Unfortunately no. I will be moving stuff out of the room so it can get painted, and thin put the new floor in. Waiting on the stand and then reef party for the move. Actually looking at around September the latest for move. Plus chilren will be here for the summer so I do have some help with the work.

    Tank Build on Hold

    My best reefing friends mom died this morning. When I was going through a low point around this time last year when my younger sister suddenly passed away, she was there for me and took care of my tank for the month that I was gone. So I will be putting my build on pause and be there for here in her time of need as she was for me. I am sorry and will get back to the build as soon as I can. Thank you all.

    Bruh, don't worry about the build. There is no need to be sorry. The tanked can wait. Take care of your friend. She will need you through these hard times.

    Tell her for me I am sorry for her lost. Her mom is in a better place looking over her.
