Sweet. Tyvm 

Picked it up today and it works really well, you can even see how dirty my tank walls are. Thank you again for doing the drawings

I think these are sponges of some kind. Are there fish that will eat them without eating Zola’s, shroom or leathers?

Where do you get your new rolls from? I got the bubble magnus small(arf-s) and it’s rolls are 102mmx25m. When I do searches I only find the system not just the roll. I will need to replace the roll soon and don’t want to run out 

So my tank / stand came with a unbaffled sump that is 10 gals. So I think for now I will baffle it up and see how that works for a while until I upgrade my tank this summer

The stand has 2 doors that are 19”wide x 21” high. The inside is 16” deep. So not sure how big of tank I can fit in there

Would I need to run a protein skimmer if I’m using a roller filter thingy?

You can find lots out there. A simple 40 gallon breeder tank will work with a few simple mods. I’m sure you can find lots of sump not being used here as well

is your tank already drilled or you going to use a hang on the back style overflow?

 

 

My tank already has a in and out hole in the back upper part of tank

I am seriously considering getting a sump and doing away with my canister filters. I have 55 gal tank. Any suggestions on size or brand of sump. I will be using the bubble magnus small filter thingy, a protein skimmer( have a hob, octo90 I thinking, would like to hang on sump),  refugium, uv sterilization and my heater in sump

That a great idea, I have 1 and know how to get another one free, container not milk jug that is.

ISO dosing container for alk and cal. Also can cal and mag be mixed together so I can use my dos pump instead of needing another dose pump? Or I guess I could dose mag/sort manually 

i really should set up my dos/trident to auto dosBut I need to get dosing containers and probably some bulk alk and calcium. Can you combine the calc and mag Chems in 1 container or does mag also need its own container?

My last chance

I’m guess I got if 3 people spammed their 10 chances we would have a winner

Free corals are the best corals, I’m betting people are waiting till it gets closer and then will spam their 10 chances

Are we there yet???

I’ve lost count of my posts 

My alk is now around 8.3 and calc is 417and mag is 1550. My ph has been running 7.75 -7.95 in a 24hr cycle for a while now. I have co2 absorption media on intake of skimmer.  I’m not sure how else to address the low ph.  Without increasing my alk. Any suggestions?

Any other ways to kill flukes? I tried netting  him but without out knocking over everything that isn’t working. 

Until I get a bigger tank

This is the view from my place in salmon creek

I picked up the Firman from Costco when it went on sale. I think it’s 7500 watts when running on gasoline. It’s a tri-fuel so it can run off gasoline, propane, or natural gas, but there is a performance drop from gas to propane and to natural gas. I have to top it off about every 8 hours at 6-7 gallons (tho it is an 8 gal capacity) 

I hooked it up to a 50 amp breaker in my panel so we can run all the lights we want, all the tanks and equipment, fridge, furnace (gas furnace, but still needs power for fans and controls) and some other minor stuff like TVs and chargers. Range is gas and water heater only runs when I shut power to fridge and furnace off for an hour in the morning. It’s no “whole house” generator but it works in a pinch and for under $800 it is well worth it. Going on day 2 with it on, and supposed to have power back tomorrow night. 

I’m sure this goes without saying but make sure if you use a gem that you have good ventilation and a carbon monoxide detectors in your living areas
