Is it weird I like to open my sump doors and stare at my whole setup while I surf R2R on the Kindle? Lol:nerd:

Thanks I've been trying really hard to stay on top of my dosing. I've noticed a big difference since keeping an eye on the big three. Calcium, Mag and Alkalinity.

My Dragon Favia and my skimmer hard at work. Lol

I am currently setting up a 125 gallon and was wondering what test kit are you using to check cal, mag, alk. Also would you mind taking a picture of the sump setup and piping because I'm trying to get an idea of how to do mine.
Thanks

I use the Red Sea test kit to test for the big three because it is more accurate then the API kit. I made a t with a control valve for water flow from return pump to phosban reactor. I have two return lines running into tank and back into sump. The previous owner plumbed the tank this way. My sump is a basic setup nothing to fancy but it gets the job done I love it.

I have one more question. How'd you get the pipe to fit on the phosban reactor?

 

[jason g]

I attached a fitting to the connection that runs to the phosban reactor with a valve to control flow to the reactor then I ran the outflow connection to the skimmer. I hope this helps you out. Not the best pictures.
