My new 93 gallon cube FTS

[bknapp]

Thanks Brandon. I will check these out. Should look much better. Only thing is I have the corner overflow. Does it fit tight? Maybe it will help keep my stupid snails in also.

I can't answer that, I cut it a little short front to back because of the Synergy Overflow, I don't have the standard overflow. You could square it off around the overflow.

it should work fine with the corner overflow.worst case you may have to put a spacer inside the clips to raise the glass a few mm.

Awesome build Paul

How's the tank doing Paul?

Meh.... I have thought about selling everything a couple times.

Lost a big Monti and a couple birds nest a few weeks ago. Can't beat this cyano without running gfo and I hate paying for gfo.

Weird thing is I am battling salinity issues all the time. Never used to have that problem. Not sure if it is my 2 part or what.

 

[roadrashpaul]

How about yours?

On the Cyano do you have a sand bed ?

How much 2 part you are using ?

Ever considered lanatham chloride instead of GFO? I've never personally used it but I've heard good things.

Is your salinity always low or high?

 

[roadrashpaul]

Yes I have a sand bed and it is old. Been in 3-4 tanks. I am thinking about vacuuming it out but I am not a huge fan of bare bottoms.

Salinity is always high. I can get it down to around 1.025-6 and within 2-3 weeks it is up to 1.028. I have a diy tipoff so I know it's not that. I skim fairly wet so I assumed it would keep it in check with the 2 part. I am using BRS bulk for 2 part.

 

[bknapp]

Are you doing water changes in those two weeks where your salinity rises?

 

[roadrashpaul]

Sometimes but not always.

 

[tdyrkacz]

Do you calibrate your refractometer every time?

Sand bed that's been in several tanks throws up HUGE red flags for me. At the very least you need to get that crap out

Yeah I believe I am going to get it out a little at a time over the next month or so. I am not a huge fan of bare bottoms but I hate this cyano more.

 

[fishdoc11]

You can always put new sand in.

Would you consider sellin the tank?

Yes it's for sale. There is a thread in the for sale forum.
