LOL. I need a reef gear layaway plan...but picking up my new tank this weekend and itll be a month or 2 before I can swing new lights

[language filter]...already blew my reef budget for a bit. My timing could have been a bit better. 😐

It looks right. The only place you'd see the flow is the 2nd to last baffle, and the flow is spread over the entire length, and that looks like a good sized sump. First, test by removing s bit of water so you can see the flow, or add some food to the middle chamber of the sump to see the flow. 2nd, I'd add an elbow to the input of the pump to draw water from lower in the return section. The water level in the last baffle section and the return compartment will always be the same as it's an under flow baffle. The water level in the rest of the sump is dictated by the 1 over flow baffle.

I've got a waterblaster HY7000 I can let go for $50

LOL. Took me a sec to figure out what you were talking about...😂😂😂

Would love to have it if it's still available. My 4 year old needs this 😀

Found. Thank you 😁

Looking for a 40W unit but will consider slightly smaller or larger. Let me know what you've got😁

Not much to update yet. Frag tank is still not online as s I got sidetracked remodeling a pair of bathrooms. Half way through tiling the first shower. Had to pull the tub to build a shower to take a bit of space from this bathroom to expand my shower a tad. Takes awhile as I'm learning as I go lol. With that being said, there will be a bit of a change with the tank coming up next month 😁 For now, its back to tiling for me...😐

As I messed up the date and missed the meeting, can someone offer a brief recap here?🙏

Been there, done that. I set up a 2nd system in the garage and moved all stones there. Dipped before they went in and every 5 days for a month, and let those remaining in the DT starve out. Ducked but is the best option

I also had one in my last mixed reef tank. Was a model citizen...

What app are you using to track it?

This is in your post, not PM...

Interested in a rose but you can't receive PMs...😁

BRS is really a 3 part solution, dosed at the same rate, but the mag can be dosed all at once. Not sure that's wise, but can be done lol

Picked up a frag tank. It had a leaky overflow box that was just a bit big to fit the space I had, so it was time to bust out the saw... Then a patch to close up the hole and a few hours of polishing, a new hole in the side for a drain, and voila.. And in place. Still need to plumb it and get a bit of foam under it just for peace of mind and to hide the plywood and give it a cleaner look.

A little more progress. Got the mixing station set up. Now turning a few ball valves will move the fresh RODI to the salt bin. Add salt and the pump and inline heater will get it prepped, then another v salve will send it to the tank. 😁 Also got the manifold installed, my carbon and gfo reactors installed, and built a couple of shelves for the doser and chemicals. Still need to tidy up the wires, but 1 thing at a time lol.

Ah, no. Already have one similar if not the same

I'll take the joker favia, frag b of the pokerstar and mystic montis, the tricolor and left tierra del fuego 😁

Thanks. Playing with the idea of building my own, but would need to find a reasonable glass shop lol

Ron, what are the dimensions of the tank?

I'm officially out. They didn't recover after falling off the plug and visiting my closed loop intake 😐
