1K Reef.... Miracles custom 1000 gallon aquarium 120”x60”x30”

[Queen Anne's Corals]

That is gorgeous looking. Can't wait to see the finished tank, but judging from the attention to detail on the exterior...holy crap! Keep it up!

Any suggestions on the best new tank cycle starter? I’ve been looking around but needed some suggestions.

Real live rock?

Real live rock?

I’m worried about introducing pest, I currently have dry Marco rock and dry aragonite special grade. I was looking into dr Tim’s but 1000 gallons will be around 400 bucks to seed tank.

Please tell me you r joking right? Lol

I used Brightwell microBacter Quikcycl and Brightwell microbater STARTXLM. Took 8 days to cycle with one piece of live rock. But it can be done without any live rock. Follow the instructions and you will have a cycled tank without any pests.

Not reef related, but please keep ur security systems updated. Cameras, safes, gun lockers, watches….whatever it is. Keep your valuables locked up or in safety deposit boxes.

I lucked out, they only took box, watch band and papers of my Rolex and my Audemars Desk clock with box. Thank goodness my whole collection is in safety deposit box!!!

No reef gear missing lol, I would’ve nabbed my lights lol.

Look into hydrospace. I use their bacterias and I'm so thankful for them. They also are great at responding to questions.

I ended up getting microbacter xlm, clean, and quick cycle

They are supposed to be very good. I just don't trust "proprietary blend" that's doesn't mean anything. But I hope it all works out for you

 

[748S911]

I just needed something under 400 bucks to get this thing filled up with something lol.

Taking advantage of pre Black Friday stuff, I would turn on my lights but the tree was compromised the day it was put up lol smh!!

The culprits

Is that a 7 stage rodi?

I’m not sure it’s 300 gpd, aqua fx great white with booster, I’ve only used air water ice rodi units so it will be intresting to see the differences.

I have a technical question, the uv/ozone aqua ultraviolet calls for a Venturi ozone unit. Does this mean I need a separate ozone unit and separate air dryer? Also would I need an air pump?
