Giving them all to one person. Want to keep them together. Makes me feel less guilty, lol.

Breaking down my tank for the time being. Giving away all my fish. They are super healthy, I haven't added anything to the tank in over a year, with no fish illnesses ever. The hippo tank does have some HLLE from a smaller tank. I kept him in years ago. Although he is super healthy and football...

Ill take it!

Nm, going to pass anyway. Good luck.

where are you located? Picture?

This allows me to put the bubbles per higher, allowing for increased future usage without the worry of overdosing within 10 minutes.

That absolutely worked, thank you. Much easier to tune my reactor now.

I have a question. I have a Apex Neptune with the original probes. They’re about a year and a half old. The PH probe takes a measurement every 10 minutes, is that adjustable? Or perhaps different probes brands have different intervals? I ask because it seems my CO2 for my calcium reactor will...

the older ones do. Not sure if that is an update thing or not but My newer one does not. Never updated any of them, its invasive...

I just added it recently, I think just how quickly it grows. I had three other types of algae in there, and the Chaeto enveloped and killed it all rather quickly. Mice relatively new, and I've been pretty careful about pests. My last tank had to be dismantled because of Aptasia, Mojanos...

Baseball size piece of Chaeto, and now it is a monster, occupying at least a 60 gallon space in a very dense bush. In fact, my current problem is figuring out if growing all this Cheato is stripping my tank of nutrients. For my corals look unaffected, but my pH buffering effect from all this...

Took out the 57 W aqua UV that I had in the maintenance closet, as it was super crowded, and moved it below the display tank. I have a pump in the refugium circulating water through the UV, and into an old-school sea-swirl that feeds the water directly in to my clump of Chaeto. I am currently...

I found someone selling some super cured live rock that looked really clean, so I added it to the refugium. Here is another progression picture of the main tank, as it was starting to get hair-algae, and Briopsis. I used Reef, RX, and it completely wiped all of the algae out. It was Algae free...

This is my closet area trying to become less cluttered, as I remove the two-part infrastructure, and implement a calcium reactor in the next closet over. I got the GEO reactor on marketplace for pretty cheap, also the CO2 cylinders I got for free through the forum. I also used an old free...

This is under the tank. Return PVC was 1 inch pipes that I joined together. In retrospect I should have had them join into a 1 1/4 pipe, but I have not had any flow restriction problems even using a 15000 Jabao pump exclusively to this tank return. Oh,I added brackets to about every joining in...

This is the sand before it became solidified, and I removed it, I also mixed in some old, reborn media, and with it. This seemed to be a big mistake, as much of the detritus got blown into, and trapped in, the porous cavities the media left. I a lot of my problems seemed to lessen when I removed...

I cobbled together a RODI system thanks to people here on BAR mostly. Are used to sediment filters, two carbon filters, two reverse osmosis filters, and two DI resin filters. I also have four probes in various areas to give me an idea of what's happening as far as the TDS is concerned. I'll stay...

This is a bit later, all these pictures are about 7 months old now. The closets a bit crowded, and I have yet to install the calcium reactor in this picture. I ran on two-part for the first 4 months or so. I was having major precipitation issues, so I switched over to the calcium reactor before...

Got the lights up. THree AP 700s I bought used, and 4 24" Aquaticlife T4s. Recently used the club PAR meter, and its about 400 at the top 175 on the bottom.

Ok, cool, this weekend at AC is good. I will update my tank journal. I do have pictures of all the many turns this tank has taken.
