Welcome to R2R!

A little update on my progress.

I decided to take a brake from reefscaping for a few days. Beetwen work, family and college I find it hard to concentrate on building a nice reefscape.

I have been working on upgrading my rodi water station. I upgraded the ro from 4 stage to 6 and added an extra membrane and booster pump. I got to give credit to BRS as I used their instructional videos for help. The ro water production has jumped to 1:1 water/concentrate ratio an I now make 5 gallon of 0 TDS in 41 minutes... mayor diference from 1:4 and 5 gallons in about 4 hours; I am very pleased with the results. As far as the tanks I went with two 55 gal Duracast tanks, I got to say, they fit perfectly in the little space I have, now to explain to the wife why is the laundry full of equipment...I hoping she is having a good day at work because I have to brake the news to her tonight [emoji55]. Anyway, I do need to work on a manifold for this set up. I was thinking of basic plumbing with a pump to transfer between tanks and to mix in salt. Any ideas are welcome.

After putting the reefscape in the back burner for a while...because honestly I was getting fustrated, I think I got a nice looking scape for the first time. Whats your guys honest opinion? Please let me know if the scape is R2R worthy.

Honestly, I think it is very good. Good caves, swim throughs and depth overall. I am biased because I personally enjoy two structures. My suggestion would be to make a little more difference in height.

 

[NY_Caveman]

Looking again, perhaps it is, to me, that the larger structure wants to be the taller one. Just my narrow opinion.

I agree. Now is just a matter of figuring out were to add hight while making it look good.

Hello, and welcome to reef2reef!

Hello GluGlu, I'd hate to continuously dismantle tanks repeatedly too. I would probably regress to a fishbowl in that situation

Anyhow, good luck with the new one

The worst part is having a different house everytime ive moved.. imagine how many times I have changed my main tank.
