Just curious, how may watts is that UV light, and how many GPH flow through it?

I will check wattage when I’m in this weekend. It flows 1100gpm yes that’s per minute 😱 go for 6x turnover every hour

Is this the time where we start to talk about the recent discovery that ich tormonts can live for many months if they are in an anaerobic environment...like buried in your sand??  

 

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm like 70 days into a fish free display while I believed ich died off. My hopes are crushed that I am stress free to put fish back in after another 2 weeks

Admit it...deep down you're just dying to convert it into a reef tank!  🤣

Cool equipment.

Honestly I look at extra equipment around my shop and envision how I can adapt it to my current reef HAHA. Trying to convince them to add a reef tank to our beach room for educational purposes. 

Included are some photos of our filters, uv light, co2 feed, and dosers.

Indeed humans. No QT but we do have a dip station in the locker room. 

I'm an equipment mechanic for an aquatic park. Over 700,000 gallons in water volume, with some of the craziest livestock I've encountered.

I figured as much. I do have a cycled 29 I set up for a qt that has not been used. But I don't have rotifers and can't remove the rock they are on. This batch will be fish food or caught in filter sock. My clowns won't let anything near the eggs. They attack anything that gets close, and anything foreign I put in, like the turkey baster. 

What’s the use for a clay pot that you mentioned you would have put in if you knew?

I bought a bulk set of api calcium tests awhile back. I have since switched to Red Sea test kit. If anyone would like them I’m looking to pay it forward. Free ninety nine

Super cool!

Yea I want the eclectus mushroom rock but can’t get a reply and seems as tho the post was edited yesterday and the price changed on them I’m pretty sure? Could be wrong though!

I feel like the price on the duncans have also gone up since my initial interest

. 

whats the t5 DIY lighting?

I messaged both times posted and didn't get response on the duncans. 

some butes there for sure! The last rock flower I got from ya decided to plant itself against the glass so all I can see is its foot 😰. Tried doing different methods to move it, and it just dug down into the sand.

$80

Love the topic, will be there with our camera!

I have had my sump baffles not work properly in the past (probably due to too high sump turnover) causing bubbles and other items that would have settled naturally in my sump get recirculated back into the display.  

Also, how old is your tank?  IME more established tanks seem to work out things like that on their own as things tend to settle out over time.

I have also had success with carbon dosing (although it is just for general water clarity and has no effect on particulates).

Tank has been running since December, but everthing in it is over a year old.
