yep i agee, i got a new lifegard UV for the 300 and picked up a used (the biggest) Lifegard biopellet reactor. I like them both. I added (which I had from the 140) a Tunze 9430 to handle the output from the biopellet reactor. I made a small acylic box to put the Tunze in and have the output from the biopellet reactor going into the box so that the Tunze can process as much as the output as possible. The box then over flows (all four sides) into the large chamber where I have a the main (huge Reef Octupus ) skimmer.How did you acclimate your magnifica to your tank? Did you temp march then put in tank or something different?
I use the avast ozone and lifegard uv. Both are doing amazingly. Also use a dehumidifier I bought from Costco years ago still works well.
Black sea cucumbers are awesome for turning over the sand bed and keeping it clean. Everything ignores them. They will occasionally (rare) climb a few inches up on the glass but prefer the sand bed.I’m battling sediment on rocks, I will try to get a picture but they are not clean, I don’t have snails or typical clean up crew just urchins. Maybe I need a huge clean up crew, but I love the fact that I don’t have shells all over sand bed, and at night time I don’t have a million snails on the glass any suggestions?
Until they're on the glass, that is.you could get a few Mexican turbo snails. They will do the job of dozens of assorted snails in short order. Then you won’t see a bunch.
Right! But for a thousand gallon tank what would a half dozen or so turbo snails really look like on a beast like that.Until they're on the glass, that is.
Depends on where they decide to plaster themselves, lol.Right! But for a thousand gallon tank what would a half dozen or so turbo snails really look like on a beast like that.
he would need at least a couple hundred of the others. I’ve got over 50+ in my nano.
You’ve got fifty snails in a nano?!?!Right! But for a thousand gallon tank what would a half dozen or so turbo snails really look like on a beast like that.

Between crabs and snails yes. That was my initial order. probably lost a half dozen in a year and half.You’ve got fifty snails in a nano?!?!
If you have stony corals in there, VERY important to go slow on removing nutrients. Hopefully you've heard this already and you are on it. Can get ugly. They have adapted slowly to a high nutrient environment (how high?) so don't rush things.just added some more snails to the 300....I think I have 30 ....doing a good job at helping keep algae down as the bio pellet and gfo begin to work soon....
300 has fish only at this point cause I had to remove all the lava rock causing me issues so all the corals , lps and zoas are in another tank so I can slowly move them over after all the new marco and caribsea rock formations go through their thing...dealing with all the crap the lave rock leached so today another 110 gallon change...If you have stony corals in there, VERY important to go slow on removing nutrients.
