Seano's 29g FOWLR to a full reef build[UPDATE 2/10/11]

how many gallons will you be doing for water changes after the cycle ends?

 

That's the thing...I think I had a short cycle and it already ended. With no source of exporting nutrients, my NO3 levels can only go up, and keep going up. Two weeks ago my NO3 levels were 10-15 ppm. This week I test and now they are at 15-20ppm. I need to keep up on the water changes. \\

I am doing 10% weekly water changes of 3g. But with 37 lbs of rock, my 29g tank is more lik 19g. The sump will be an 11g(metric dimension tank) will probably about 8g of water when I get the equipment in it. SO taht puts my 29g DT + 11g sump at actually only equaling 27g.

 

Looks Great. Couldn't sleep, so I read all 29 pages. lol

 

haha. Thank you.

 

I want to trade corals. Ahhhh. I wish I could speed up time like in that Adam Sandler movie with the remote (can't remember the name).

 

Well, I could have the skimmer by now, but I got the erg to set up a 75g...haha. Withot even a complete set-up, I already wanted to go bigger.

I guess I should probably start a new build thread, but here is what I have planned...

75g Display tank
29g sump/fuge
10g return

Mag Drive 9.5 return pump
Eshopps In-Sump Skimmer PSK 150
Phosban reactor running ecoBAK
Koralia 1400X 3, plus the 3X koralia 425s I already have.

Aqua Controller Jr w/DC8, temp probe/pH probe and Lunar lighting module

I will still be going with LEDs on this build...3 of the Orphek PAR bulbs instead of 2.

 

I will transfer everything over from the 29 to the 75 once set up and I will add 25 lbs of dry rock.

 

Click ;D

 

Yea, nice.

 

I will be getting my lights as soon as they are available...no word from Orphek yet.
