Installed a valve that drains the pipe lines and both salt water mixing tanks for cleaning and disinfecting.

Did a couple of leak tests and filled the tank and drained it out again because there were a lot of dirt and dust at the bottom of the tank.

Still waiting on:
-Carbon Reactor
-Calcium Reactor ( with Co2 tank,
-Pressure reducer fitting for RO system
-Dry Rock/Sand/live rock for seeding

Then I should be able to start the cycle. I was on the ZeoVit forum and they suggested to set up all the reactors from the beginning to make adjustments. What do you suggest?

Dude, I failed at zeovit... more of a timing thing, so I'm no expert but having everything from the get go is not a bad idea... just not sure you need the Calcium Reactor from the start???

Yes thats what I was thinking because I figured it would be overkill especially when Im not stocked with corals yet lol at least until I finish the cycle process.

Gotcha. More manual dosing right? im trying to do research on how to automate the dosing schedule. I know that the supplements would need to be diluted since its small amounts.
