Thank you Jill for asking, it is going alright. When do you plan to transfer? It will be a wonderful setup.

got my 3rd light and sand is on the way. better get this plumbing figured out. i was wondering- should i move over the ceramic bio media things that is in my current sump? or throw them out? i keep reading about them breaking down over time and leeching bad stuff

 

[smitten with ocean life]

working at the this huge plumbing puzzle. got some of the pieces figured out. but im wondering why would you have both an algae scrubber and a huge uv light? there doesnt seem to be a name brand on the algae scrubber...

Sorry Jill. I’m not an equipment guy but let’s see if we can get you some help. #Smo#Smorgasbord

 

[smitten with ocean life]
