paused for now. will resume soon

Yea seems like that's happening already. Maybe I should make some frags before some of em get choked. It's just hard to frag when they have grown onto the rock

Another photo that shows how much the zoa rock has grown, running out of space soon! I wonder how that rainbow incinerator polyp invaded that pikachu frag...

It's been a while since the last update. Got some more corals in the meantime so now the systems is fully stocked :cool: I did add a few rocks that I got from aqua rocks, they're pretty good for filling in empty space and they do hold frags easily. I like the magnetic branch ones that can go on...

Oh I am definitely not talking about that 3d printed adapter that UNS sells XD. I did buy that one and it does not work at all !!! It will be super noisy if you try to plumb a reef mat with that thing (water will be overflowing from the top of the adapter and falling right into the sump), I've...

Yea the only issue I had with UNS systems is that their sump isn't designed to work with most filter rollers. They are only compatible with the reef factory ones but I believe they went bankrupt a while back. I did contact them about this and they say they are working on their own filter roller...

Had a similar situation last year. Turns out there was brass corroding in my tank and leached mainly copper and zinc. So I would check if any equipment or magnet is failing if none of them were used in quarantine before. For removal I used cuprisorb + triton detox + poly filter. imo poly filter...

sorry currently pending pickup, will update if it falls through

I have a fox face that I need to rehome asap because it started nipping at my corals :(. It just recently started to do that and only shows interest in trachys. doesn't go all in and rip tissue off but it is bothering the trachys so I need to let it go Free to anyone who can provide a good home...

I just used a needle to poke a tiny hole in the tube (anywhere above water line in the reservoir). Worked perfectly for me

Yea I was also confused, but I did email UNS and they said it is a 40mm pipe

Does anyone know where I can get 40mm to 32mm metric reducers? I am trying to plumb the overflow pipe in my uns120 directly into a reefmat 500. What I will need is a reducer with 40mm male and 32mm female ends. Some pictures of the uns120 for reference. Thanks!

yea he's getting a little too big, rescued him from a petco when he was tiny lol, might need a new home soon

Update on the transfer! Everything went smooth and it has been 2 weeks since I completed the transfer. Didn't lose a single livestock and no ugly stage. YaY Only issue so far with the new setup is reefmat compatibility. Using good old filter socks for now till I figure out the plumbing

Thanks! Love its clean look, and the fact that you only have to manage one power brick
