Put some time in to it yesterday.
Cleaned out the extension sump, moved the LR from sump into DT and made the divider wall( was missing ) out of eggcrate and added chaeto to the front half. hoping it helps keep the chaeto from plugging up the exit hole on the extension like it had before.
Going to be making a frag rack for the back half of the extension.
Added a powerhead to the extension since it just collects detritus.
Added a Nicrew 100w above the refugium / frag tank
Started rearranging rock in DT and pulling all small rubble and stuff that has been collecting on the sand bed.
Going to try something a bit different.
I pulled the 4x4" filter socks and holder, my Icecap k1-200 is on a 3" shelf and slid it to the left as far as possible, under that shelf is a of rubble and managed to get my old eshopp psk-300 skimmer also installed. I am hoping these two combined will help pull most the waste out, plans are to ad a funnel type input to direct more flow( catch more poop) straight into the skimmer.
Eventually I will build a Direct Fed Recirculating skimmer to sit next to the tank to flow everything from the main overflow thru the skimmer hoping to catch as much as possible and that will then feed into my DIY roller mat.
Worked on the mixing station a bit, bought my ball valves and fittings, thought I had pipe at the house but
I didn't so picking up some today.
Also got dimensions to print a platform to hold the two ocean motion wave makers I picked up a couple months ago. Going to place one on each side of the overflow box and split the 3/4 feed to 2x 1/2 RFG .
I need to print the adapters for the Redsea feed lines to Locline adapters and be able to run locline to the OM instead of hard pipe/tubing.
Tank was a huge cloudy mess from stirring up everything in the sump, both skimmers were going crazy for hours. As of this morning they have calmed down
