Love the shirt

Tank looks great. Thanks again for documenting everything. Your NYOS is so clean.

Long ago in a YouTube video you said you couldn't run the air 100% open. I can do that fine on my NYOS 120 on my reefer 170, how do you run the air intake now?

I've ran my system without the skimmer for a week now! To answer your question I did open the air up all the way, the only adjustments made on the skimmer were with the open/close knob to adjust water level!

Scrubber after one week as main filtration, I did clean the screen Sunday. Still no skimmer! Sunrise tank shot!

 

[pelphrey]

Time to try this stuff out!

 

[pelphrey]

Soaked 5lbs of miracle mud in 2 cups of tank water over night. Dropped mud into sump this morning, sump wasn’t cloudy long. Display got cloudy and some of the corals reacted.

I know you were considering a replacememt sump. Synery’s offerings look nice. Check these guys out too if you’re still debating it.

I’ve had that sump open in a tab on my phone for a few weeks now. Thanks for the heads up!

Checked Hanna standards, came back good. Tank registered 1 phosphorous, zero low and zero high range nitrates. Dosed 5ml of nitrates, will test again shortly.
