this just in.. CO2 really helps plants :P

K well, since 48 hours ago ive had my reactor's effluent entering the system between an over/under baffle in my 'fuge. The end of the effluent tube just hovers there above the cascading water so I can monitor it's drip rate. From there it mixes with the incoming water, gets dragged under the 2nd baffle and gets pulled through a dense Cheato block, Red Grape bushes and Shaving Brush. In two days there is a trail of bright growth leading up to the overflow. This stuff is growing back almost as fast as I harvest it. I removed over a gallon of cheato from the fuge over the past 3 days. After 2 nights with the effluent its full again and the Grape's have doubled in size. CO2's some pretty crazy sht.. lol

 

Thanks for the tip. I hope to finally hook up my reactor early next week. I was going to run the effluent into the center portion of the sump but what you say makes perfect sense. I think that I'll try putting the effluent into the refugium side of the sump instead.

 

kewl bro.. let me know how it works out. Youre gonna love that reactor once you get it dialed in.

 

Actually judging from your equiptment list this probably isnt uf first experience with a CA reactor. That tank must be somethin, gonna check your page for pics

 

There are a few pics on my build thread but it's a new tank. I previously had reef tanks from '92 to 2000. Not too many calcium reactors around then. Most of the corals in my tank wouldn't have been found in a LFS either.

 

fantastic tank. Yep pretty much my dream tank right there. Perhaps one day.
