Man, rough start. Sounds like things are turning around, though. I the aquascape--particularly how you are allowing room for coral growth along the top.
Okay, is the standard better somehow? Just curious as to your thinking
Thanks,
Jake
Awesome start so far on the tank! And you did end up going with the standard ato? I’ve had mine for a couple weeks now and hasn’t failed me yet. Every time I reach into the tank it beeps high level instantly and is very effective keeping a perfect water level.
Thanks for the help man! I'll try out the floss idea when my custom caddys come in.A large water change at end of cycle is something I would always recommend. As far as the cloudy water throw some filter floss in your media basket and the water will clear right up in a couple hours. I use pillow stuffing from the craft store it’s cheap and works awesome and when it’s spent I just grow it away and replace with new. I love that ATO container just can’t justify the $100 right now lol
Nice setup!
I am getting my IM25 Saturday and hoping to set it up in the next couple weeks.
Was going to do dry rock, but found a local guy selling good quality cured rock. It all has magnificent purple coralline algae on it. Hard to say no to that.
Anyways, how much of the 40Ibs of rock you listed on first page did you use? Also, I like your sand level, how many pounds is that?
Oh wow you've been really busy the last week or so. Glad BRS took care of the light. Do you know what schedule your going to be running? Everything looks great. Aquascape gives you plenty of options for coral and swimming room for the fish. Glad the bigger tunze works out for ya. I'm sure the extra $100 will be money well spent. I think your stocking list looks good. I would add a few conch for the sand bed. It's pretty cool when you get your diatoms outbreak and all you see are trails from the conchs. Not sure but top shelf aquatics close to me has aquacultured tomini tangs that are the size of clown fish you could add. They had a 2.5-3" yellow eye kole tang I wanted but didn't want to add to many fish at once.
looking really nice Jake who makes the dosing bracket ?Hey guys!
So today I received some stuff in the mail.
New IM variable flow return nozzles:
New IM Custom Caddy, which I fitted with MarinePure balls. The caddys would only fit 4 balls, so I used a dremel and cut them in half or into quarters to fit more. Check it out:
And lastly, a new bracket to hold my dosing tubes:
I need to get filter floss in the top chamber of the caddys...water is still yellow-ish from sediment. I received a new reactor today but won't be installing it or running it until the end of the cycle.
Thanks,
Jake
