Hi there!
This is double posting, but I did not receive any answers in my build thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/red-sea-reefer-800-piggyback.779283/#post-8424684
So I am trying to get some help with the following question:
How do I best mix a running ~100g (390L) reef with ~100g (409L) of fresh salt water?
Background on this is: I joined a RSR 350 with a RSR XL 525... yes, I already did that.
(I connected both displays to the sump of the XL 525.)
The 350 is doing really well and its (probably) overstocked with corals.
ATM the 350 already runs on the sump of the 525.
The Display of the 525 is completely "unalive": there is only reef ceramik and coral sand in it.
As soon as I turn on the return pump of the 525 the two waters would start to mix, so currently there are only two Red Sea Reef Waver 45 running in the 525.
Of course I made sure to measure and harmonize all parameters I can, but apart from that:
Do you recommend mixing them as slow as possible or the opposite: something like "full steam ahead" (just turn on the return pump and start placing corals / fish in the new tank)
The Return pump does approx 2880L per hour with 1m of head pressure, I think I can run it as low as 1% (about 30L / h). In addition I could run the return pump at certain intervals to further slow down the mixing process.
Any recommendations on this one? Any experiences you are willing to share?
Thanks in advance!
