Hey everyone, long time listener, first time caller.
Hailing from the land of the ice and snow I’ve been reefing on and off for the last 20 years with a long break in between.
I started a couple years ago again with a 10gal, way too much rock, a 5g sump. Upgraded to a 20 long with HOB and uv etc.
Bought a used Red Sea 525, that lasted 2 weeks before it split and now running a 70 gallon fw with fluval 404 canister.
All my livestock is in the neglected 20 as I am putting them in the 70 this weekend coming, and plumbing in a few things
- brs GFO reactor,
- DIY cheato reactor
- reef octopus 100 hob skimmer
- vevor 660gph canister
- filling fluval canister with rock rubble
- marineland hob filter converted to hob ATS. From the 20g
Some pics!
The stages of the progress. Lol
