GoVols: Red Sea S-400

[fabutahoun]

Looks Amazing !!!, perfect spread and color.I wouldn't change anything !!

 

[fabutahoun]

I love my Radions, but I had few issues with spread and color mixing, all resolved now by adding the diffusers

 

[Amoo]

Not going to lie, my OCD would definitely demand 3 more in the front.

Thanks, Fadi
It looks good and had to dial back the a80's.

Just made an pattern and used the a80's screws that you use for the a80 right angle mounting brackets.

We'll leave it be.

Well, Jeffery
Thanks for the help, but I run the AP700 to Dana's settings.

And... complete!!

Now that's led spread... ;Woot ;Woot

It does look good, well done!

 

[Amoo]

Freddie, what are the dimensions on your tank again?

Thanks, Pancho

Your S-500 looks great!!

 

[GoVols]

Freddie, what are the dimensions on your tank again?

Outer glass is:
41" long x 24" deep x 24" tall

Thanks brother, for some reason I didn't think you had a "standard" 48" tank. That and I think RedSea just decided to put random numbers on everything so that never helps

@GoVols which Carx do you use?

We are in America where more is better

Beautiful pictures Freddie, the tanks looking stunning!

 

[GoVols]

@Alfrareef

It's an 2 stage GEO.

Did a lot of research in 2017 on the other stuff with it, but it was always going to be GEO for the reactors.

 

[GoVols]

Lol!!!

Thanks. That’s a “standard” model or a “new generation” like the PacSun or DasTaCo?

 

[Flippers4pups]

Freddie, does the two stage really help with degassing effect on pH? What's your take?

 

[GoVols]

Freddy, does the two stage really help with degassing effect on pH? What's your take?

Yes,
That's what the second stage is for.
I've never been lower than 8.0 on ph since we brought the GEO online.

It's a standard model.
I talked with @2una and he said the DasTaCo's have a super low media melting point.

So, He told me to stay on coarse with the GEO, so that I won't have to dose kalk for ph re-bound.

I use the Sicce 1.0 for the feed pump, but run the reactor like this video that @hybridazn shared.



Hybird's output stream.



So, we're both streaming and not dripping.

Beside the Apex to control the reactor's melting point went with these.

https://www.geosreef.com/product/smc415/

And went overboard with this regulator.

Per GEO:
I run the large reborn media with 10% ZEOmag in stage one / and the small ARM media in stage two.
GEO said that the small ARM media is best at gassing off the Co2 and provides different trace elements that the reborn media dose not provide.

Hope that helps.

Okay, coping what you just said for later reference!

DasTaCo's pH melting point is what?

Don,
I think it starts at about an 6.5 melting point, but you use man made media for those, and the man made media has a lower melting point before it kicks in.

@Janci
Runs one like 2una, and he could explain a DasTaCo's better than I can.

I think @fabutahoun is running an Reef Octopus cal reactor, but I can't remember if he has a second stage.

Right now my Apex Fusion averages at 7.0 (inside the reactor) for the melting point with the GEO.

When we started the GEO, the reef was taking in .6 of alk per day and it's in-taking 1.1 to 1.2 of alk per day, now.
