SBB- Spring Fling Blowout

[ros3to]

You have a bright light on that. What are you using for a culture light again?

It's an old Marineland led from one of my freshwater tanks.

Agree a mixing station with an ato to your tank, so valuable

 

[cubsfan16]

Anyone ammonia dosing? Looking to switch over from Nitrate dosing...Amazon delivered my ammonium bicarbonate today and was planning on mixing up my solution and giving it a go (starting very slow).

Hmm now you got me thinking… I could put my new RODI tank on the wall in the garage closest to my tank inside. Drill a small hole and run an ATO line to my sump.

I was going to use the 100 gal vertical tank for RO and then mix salt in a 50 gal drum I have.

As an added bonus, when I just picked the tank up the guy used to run a live rock business and gave me a box of orange instant ocean salt. Bummer is that I’ve been buying RPM salt water so the IO salt isn’t much good for me.

Not bad for $135

It's so expensive to ship those drums x.x

Yep and you can put an ATO in your first chamber to always fill your first bin. Hehe

Sounds like a solid plan.

You could always mix small amounts, 25% IO in with your current salt. Wouldn't make that big of a difference.

That's a steal. I'm looking for one like that locally.

Someone linked me in an old thread a place to buy them, new they are around 350, I might bite that bullet.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Agree, looks interesting. I see one vendor consistently selling it, but people seem to list it in the personal marketplace fairly often.

 

[woodyarmadillo]

I have one then, traded with @woodyarmadillo last summer, or at least I think that is what he sent me.

Yup princess peech

 

[stoney7713]

Interestingly, my 24k is more

Your daughter must know my son.

I have a 24k, need a bright yellow

Most of the kitchen is “handled”…

That is what I did... I got all my supplies from BRS. Set up RODI filter downstairs from bathroom water supply. Fills brute trashcan with fresh rodi. I drilled the brute for pvc pipe and added a valve... set up right at a 5g bucket height. Super convenient to get water in 5g buckets. I also keep cheap salt at hand, such as IO salt for QT set up. No need to waste money on expensive salt to medicate, dip etc... I purchased 20ft roll of rodi line and drilled a hole at my central ac vent (that way I didn't have to drill my hardwood floor...) passed the rodi line directly to my DT. I do have an 15g ATO reservoir in my stand under the tank... hooked up a rodi flood guardian there... plugged into my apex. Every day my flood guard goes off and on, refills my ATO reservoir directly from my RODI.. set up is worth it to save the headache of it in the long run.

Nice! What did you have to do?

Ha, evidently a partial response was included there.

I was going to say my 24k is more gold/yellow than my 99 bananas. The 24k was in a friend's tank since the January sale and the 99 bananas is from the recent sale, but still, not what I was expecting.

Interesting, my 24k is definitely more orange/gold tentacles. Maybe it is a lighting thing.

 

[billyocean]

Its seems as there aren't any handles

I'll try to do a picture tomorrow to illustrate.
