before going on to detail the development of the next Nanoreef, the start is for picoreef 3 lts that later became 18 lts. (5Gal)

painfully these are some of the last photos before the disaster

15/04/2013 started the project this nano to replace picoreef

what happened?

 

[colt]

what happened?

It is supposed to enable email notification, but I do not get any notice some response such as yours.

for the month of May 2013 gave me the little urn that would serve the sump, the measurements are 60 x 35 x 40cms.

pic nstallation the pipe at that point is unfinished.

by the way, this is not Nanoreef at home, wish my wife, is at my mother, but I have a 1000 liter system at home.

skimmer

images of the rear return and double check valve to prevent more water is returned.

detail of the sump with skimmer and return pump which is Resun SP6000 with 2800 l / h could theoretically move 20X.



unfortunately for this date not yet reached the living stone to begin to heal.

[/quote]

beginning of June 2013 , I received the box with the living stone , but not cleaned and not cure.

and as you can imagine it would have to, because as you can see on the picture is full of sand
so we spent several hours brushing , have some pictures of how it turned the water used :

after cleaning was introduced quite flow.
parameters and expect to start aquascaping reduction and income of the sand bed .

Around the same time also came when ready for rocks with a Rhodactis sanctithomae and Acropora cervicornis

indeed the A. cervicornis is totally wild

continue with chronic ...........


The first test was performed after adding 7.2.13 stone, was NO3





removing the skimmer

after almost a week of a lot of movement on the stone and with the help of acetic acid ( white vinegar ) in your preparation of 100 ml and a tablespoon of sugar :

allegedly dropped a bit, but everything was a mirage.
because the next day they were at zero.

it started with 1ml aditar vinegar as it progressed was added 0.5 ml daily over the previous day.
the idea is to reach out to 5ml and watch is kept . we expected that in the course of 3-4 weeks and were able to accommodate the stone to enter the first inhabitants

6/10/13 began to operate the lamp with 24 leds, whose configuration is as follows:


1 White 15 ° K
2 magentas
2 UV
9 royal blue
10 Blue

was the same lamp that had picoreef 18 lts. but I control to enlarge and add more leds.


19/06/2013 I made the order of the following equipment :


Vortech mp10
RK Lite + SL1
refractometer
Magnetic Probe Holder
Titanium probe to land
Substrate KoraLagoon
ReefPlus 1/2 Gal .


but the idea of ​​modifying the two returns later installed in each accelerator nanos came to me vortex


image

but ultimately were not installed


25/06/2013 while the team reached the peak of NO3 following the agenda and the 23/06/2013 and after almost 15 days the NO3 dropped to 5 mg/l

the solution of acetic acid and was completed by other 100ml which I did but now more aggressive.
in the first solution just add a tablespoon of sugar, in this second version I put 5.
aditar they reached 10 ml daily to the water column.
started again but starting 5ml and then build back up to 0.5 10ml , however if a bacterial bloom to keep me as the previous day, with the vodka method is presented.
indeed, the crystals were cleaned twice because they have blanquiscos, good sign


some of the frags that are pending:

NO3 and where are these frags is well maintained with partial updates every 15 days.

27/06/2013 came on board:

and before installing it siphon Vortech was the detritus that was inside .:

already retired , to install the pump:

and is working on EcoSmart Nutrient Transport Mode.


with 7.5ml of the new sugar mixture and acetic acid and apparently to the NO3 dropped , however , the idea is to reach out to 10ml if no bloom and then maintain it.
