Nice! Glad to see it's coming along. I wish I wasnt sick right now, or I would come help...but I feel rather contagious right now:sad:

Not sure if I'm going to attempt the dual return or not. Lol but now is the time to decide

Just got caught up. Looks like you made some good progress. I think the dual return is a great idea!

Thanks everyone. The scape wasn't planned at all. It was just get it in the tank and cross my fingers.

Everything is doing great so far. I caught my yellow tang swimming laps last night. I did break my green digi during the move. I can't find the frag but the other piece is still doing good.

During the swap I discovered a leak on the overflow. Looks like when I tightened down the union on one of the pipes it got a little sideways and leaked a bit. Small panic attack later, I got it fixed.

Pic from last night. The glow in the stand is a light for cheato. Since the 10g under the 72 was so crammed I lost a lot of cheato, hopefully I can replenish that soon.

Having some issues with my GFO in my BRS reactor. I can't get it to tumble at all. It could be all gunked up. I should have time tonight to pull it out and see what's up. Does anyone know of you can change the plumbing on the BRS reactor to something else? If not I may sell it and get something else that will work better with flex hose.

How long have you been running it in the reactor? That's not on typical after it has been running for a while you have to swap it out.

This media has been in for about 2-3 weeks. It was the last bit if one container I had. Maybe the small particles are clumped together.

Yeah, that could be the issue. I have to change mine once a month anyway, so smaller media could very wheel clump faster.

Hindsight I should have added what was left to my container and used that. Oh well. It probably won't hurt to change it out tonight.

I have a SMR1 reactor I was trying to use for bio pellets but couldn't fit a big enough pump in the 72 sump. I'd really like to use it for something but I'm not sure what to try to run in it.

That toadstool sure looks happy all spread out and with room to grow even more!

Planning to move the LEDs up a bit today. They are 80 degree optics and the hanging kit we got with them is a bit long.

For a moment I could swear you had mini blinds on the tank. lol

 

[bknapp]

What kind of LEDs are you running? Looking good homie.
