What you guys used in socks?

I have the Red Sea E-260 which is the same as yours, I use the 225u felt filter socks. You need to bump your salintity up to 35ppm, Ca to 460 and Alk to 9.0 if going to keep corals. You will get better growth.

Salintity 35 ppm ? 32-33 is max right ?

Hi :)

trident works very well
I bought dos,Ddr will be working with trident :)

If you are doing reef tank then 35ppm on Salinity is the target.

I go to 35 ppm but slowly :)

 

[Phil D.]

it won't hurt anything if you bump salinity quicker. In Nature it changes quickly due to storms. I was at sea on edge of a Typhoon and can tell you A LOT of rain comes down.

How do you like the Trident? Is it accurate? Does it work well with DOS? I am looking to buy Trident too so I can get away from reading colour completely

Jantom - Sump looks great buddy!

I noticed your heater is not fully submerged. This could crack the heater and cause issues.

I swapped out the filter socks for the media cup and use floss inside. Cheap option so I don't have to wash socks. Just toss the floss in trash and replace when dirty. BRS Media Cups
