150 Deep Dimension...sumpless closed loop filtration

I like that big halide in the middle.

The halide is doing the heavy lifting while the Radions top out at 40%. The Radions at 14k/40% look pretty good and would surely do it all, but that halide shimmer o_O

I’ve long struggled with low pH, and have been having large (0.6ish) daily swings lately. I haven’t done much to address it other that using a fan over my former sump and running my former skimmer intake to the outside. Neither did a whole lot and I decided to hook up a kalk reactor.

I installed the kalk reactor in my basement and am using a DOS essentially running an AWC program to move 100 ml/hour of kalkwasser to my display. I started it on 3/24 from midnight to 10 am before testing my alk, then going to a 24 hour program.

You can see how my pH has been trending higher for the last few days, and my anemones and gigas clam are looking much better. I expect that my alk consumption will begin to increase quickly as the pH improves and stabilizes. I also plan on getting a quiet fan to blow across my display as my halide warms the water up more than I want. It’s only getting to 79ish degrees, but Latz clowns do better with cooler water and I want it to stay between 76.5 and 78 degrees.

Let that upward march continue :)

One must look not only at the obvious, but at what is hiding in the negative space.

Unfortunately, the tank started leaking and had to be torn down.

What? No way. Are you going to try and reseal it?
You got me scared now.

It was just a slow leak. I was considering resealing but got a 220 and 180 instead. They both need work, but will fit in our dining room nicely.
