My Setup

[don74136]

I got some hateful alert that I had been banned from this website because I hadn't posted anything. :(It turned out to be a joke. So my setup up is:
RSM-250 (the older one not the reefer).

A fancy-smancy Life Reef sump & refugium for which I don't like the skimmer. There is a Current -USA led fixture for the refugium.

Removed the stock hood and replaced with two ecotech 15WG3 on a rail system and a custom built black acrylic piece that covers the unsightly filters that show when you remove the stock hood

JBJ Chiller -- I don't need a heater as I live in Oklahoma and I keep my thermostat between 74° and 76°F year round. I should sell the cobalt heater and American Marine temperature controller as they don't get used.

Various salinity/saltwater digital monitors. I need to sale my Milwaukee Instrument seawater digital refractometer.

Bio pellets reactor.

Ecotech Vortex 40W ES for the display tank

Ecotech Vortex 10W QD for the refugium.

I have a Tunze ATO but I haven't installed it yet.

Several Sochting Oxydators using 8% hydrogen peroxide

Other things I might have forgotten.

I consider myself an equipment *****. It is like it's more important to me than the living inhabitants. LOL

All that's missing from this description is a picture! I'm moving this over to the member tanks section as your build thread.

Welcome aboard, Don74136!

That sounds like a pretty cool setup. Those oxydators are a new one to me - what do they do, and how well do they do it?

The oxydators use a stronger concentration of hydrogen peroxide than you normally buy in the supermarket which is just 3%. I purchase a 32oz bottle of food grade 35% hydrogen peroxide from amazon that i dilute to 8%. Most people start with 6% h2o2. There is a small pellet in the various sizes of oxidators that act as a catalyst and then they do their magic. I purchased some of the oxydators from eBay and in the UK. It totally got rid of the cyanobacteria in my refugium and it was quite a lot in there. it took a couple of weeks but that's gone and has never come back I would say Google it and let it make up your mind.
