Thanks. Make up water only needs to get to 71 and it's 68 now.
@X-37B ,Well first disaster I have had in quite a long time.
When I put the other 9430dc in I did not notice that the 2 front suction cups came off the return pump.
The pump was at an angle and the zip tie did not hold.
I got up and heard a noise and the hose had come off putting 20+g's all over the floor.
It shot the water straight up.
No issues with equipment.
The tunze high level alarm shut the ato off.
The sg was still 1.026, in the tank so that was a gift.
Temp is at 71.
I used the wet vac to clean it up but it probably ruined the laminate floor. There is still water under the stand. There was a puddle of water in the kitchen too.
This is the first major tank disaster I have had in 30 years so im lucky. If I was not home it would have been a total loss.
So I am making 30g's now but waiting for temp to come up.
Everything in the tank look ok so I think it will be ok. It may take a few hours to get the temp up.
It does not look to bad in the pic but time will tell what happens to the flooring.
Yea this house was built in 1984.
your tank is coming along quite nicely. this last pic has some great coloration!I ran all parameters for the new year.
Going to send out icp next week to compare. I will run all parameters again before I send in the sample.
No3 is now down to 10 so the no3 reactor is working well.
I need to get some better pics with my camera soon.
SG 1.026
Temp 77°
Alk 7.8
Ca 440
Mag 1260
K 430
PO4 .1
NO3 10
I got a new Indo colony and proceeded to break it. I now have 4 pieces in 2 systems.
I am mixing one scoop of esv dried phyto to 3 cubes in a cup once a day to see what if anything it may do to the system.
I have noticed better polyp extention on many corals so we will see what it produces down the road.
This is a frag I have had for a couple months. It's starting to color up now along with others.
Which shop did you go to?No3 was 4 today. I turned down the reactor from 22mlm to 5mlm.
Looking for <5 so it's good. I will tune the sulfer reactor to maintain <5 now.
It took about 2 months to go from 40 to 4 running the reactor.
Colors look good.
Po4 was .147 today. Feeding phyto with fish food so it contributes.
I added a 1/2 cup phosgaurd to the sumps basket area.
New Indo coral I got a week ago.
Aqua Life in Rocklin is where I got the last one.
what do you use for phosphate control? i always seem to have higher phos/ low Nitrate. the different tech methods you use are intriguing to me, just not sure if i watn to take the plungeNo3 was 4 today. I turned down the reactor from 22mlm to 5mlm.

I use 2 skimmers now and run ozone through one for 5-6 hrs.
My whole house would smell if I fed that much frozen lol. I wish I couldI use 2 skimmers now and run ozone through one for 5-6 hrs.
Ozone reactor was taken offline. I get good water clarity with less ozone and equipment.
Nitrate reactor keeps nitrates in range and is simple to run.
Minimal WC at 10% every 2-3 months.
300 micron mesh socks.
I feed rather heavy around 7+ cubes a day mixed with phyto.
Phosphate control, when needed is done with phosgaurd in a mesh bag like this.
I started the Deltec sulfer reactor about 2 months ago. No3 was 40+ after 150lbs of GLR.
Following along. Nice looking display. However, you can keep the trigger fish.Couple fish pics.
It's a large file fish that's eats nory by hand. I always have one per system.
