Looking good! They are space hogs, but I love a nice big monti cap.
Any problems with losing chromis to fighting? They look good as a group.
It will be interesting to see how you get on with the Alage reactor Laith
I tried an ALR2 in my Red Sea S650 for a month or so and it wouldn’t grow anything, just turned to a mush eventually so I removed it from the system.
I love the idea and the natural removal of nutrients, and also tried it using miracle mud in the sump, with algae in a refugium but the light just made all sorts of nasty looking things grow so I removed it.
Hopefully you can report better luck and I hope it works,
... Good luck sorting the pumps.
I really like having a rollermat system for mechanical filtration. It took me a while though to figure out the best way to get the "used" fleece off of the used fleece roll part. The fleece I'm using is 100m long per roll so there is 100m of used fleece that needs to be removed.
At first I was unrolling the used fleece off of the roll. This was a real pain and very time consuming. Now I've settled on this way of doing it:
Cutting the used roll down the center with a cutter. Still takes about 10 mins to cut through the thickness but it's much easier than unrolling it!
If anyone else has a better way of doing this, I'm all ears ;Joyful.
No matter the perceived level of difficulty in doing this, I would never trade this for using socks! Been there, done that (lasted about a month) on my old tank...
I made a device to use my drill to unwind. When my fleece is used up, It leaves me an empty cardboard tube. I attach the free end to that, and use my drill to wind it back up. Takes a minute. I took a 2x4 and mounted pvc spindles to that for the full and empty roll to spin on.I really like having a rollermat system for mechanical filtration.
