yes finally getting to where the fish and corals will be happy and grow..This has to feel really good. Well done sir!
I do need to catch up but did see you changed plans for sump for more flow. Did you go to one non split sump?yes finally getting to where the fish and corals will be happy and grow..
I build a new sump also 60x24x18
yes I planned the split sumps with two returns, a refugium and once it was running did not like the flow. I also did lots of research about refug and then decided to do away with the refug. Built a sulfur reactor, aragonite reactor and needed space for two 5 gallons of rodi and kalk. I did not want the sulfur / aragonite reactor out of the two sump design. So I got more 1/4 acrylic and built the 60x24x18. Everything is in the sum and I have more room to put stuff if needed.I do need to catch up but did see you changed plans for sump for more flow. Did you go to one non split sump?
yes...one big single sump. 60x24x18..Have a Ecotech return pump in the last chamber and a mighty jet xl pump with flow controller and display for my UV also in the last chamber. The UV pulls pump pulls water from the last chamber and returns it to the last chamber where the Ecotech send it to the main tank. Yes I know that some UV treated water may get sent to the UV again but my thought here is the UV pump is not being strained to send water to the main tank. Also when we feed the ecotech shuts off, but the UV keeps going and the chamber 5 that they are in never dries out.I do need to catch up but did see you changed plans for sump for more flow.

What salt are you switching from?So far with todays 40-gallon water change, I will have 120 gallons done. I am doing 40 gallons each weekend. Till I get to 300 gallons done. I know there will be still a small percentage of the old salt in the mix but not 100 percent as when I started. Used to use a salt made over sea's but now with all these oversea prices, I am switching to Brightwell Neo Marine Salt. I have been using a lot of Brightwell stuff so switching to their salt was a good choice for me. SO far tanks numbers are changing and getting better than they ever where. For once my Ca is below 500 and ALK is holding at 9dkh and MG floats between 1270 to 1290, so I do not have to dose much MG anymore. Also started dosing Brightwell Aminos and Aquaforest Manganum (manganese) by hand and tank is responding. Learned this practice from a fellow reefer.
TM to Brightwell Neo Marine.What salt are you switching from?
