I used raceways like mentioned above. Make 3: Frequent maintenance- items like return pump, gyres or any powerhead, probe lines Not so frequent- heater, UV etc And wet lines- dosing or ato Top to bottom right above your baseboard. It's easy to put a face plate on ot to hide it later on...

Yea..flipping through each disk individually is no fun...I dunked it in a 2 gallon bucket thinking it would be easier but the disc all stick together when in water. The water pressure in my bathroom wasn't enough to dislodge it..well see how the hose pans out in 3 days. If it saves me from...

Next time I'm going to clean it during the day and just blast that sucker with the garden hose...that should loosen things..lol

Installed the disc filters on Thursday am and this is what they have collected up until now. Keeping my cadence of cleaning after 3 days, I found that the filters amazingly held up. I expected them to clog up quick and overflow into itself but that wasn't the case. I doubt it would have lasted...

Yea...the AC one was the loudest thing on my system...couldn't stand the hum

Are you running the DC ones? I'm finding the noise from the air silencer to be louder than the pump. But then again, it's encased inside the body of the skimmer so that maybe helps muffle the sound

The newest resident. Ive been going back and fourth between the blue and red haddoni for a while now. Just got done with a 10 day cipro treatment in QT. It didn't like it all that much plus the lack of lighting on the QT didn't help. The blue is a little subdued compared to when I got it, but im...

First 24 hours in operation and it appears to be holding up well. No overflowing and visibility catching larger particles. I feed quite a bit...reef Jerky 4 timed a day, TDO pellets twice a day, Rods food once or twice a day, depending if I'm home.

Will do. I have high hopes it'll work. Throwing away socks every 3 weeks sucks.

I'm going to clean them out in a couple days then ill post my thoughts on here. Hopefully they don't clog up before then. Yeabtheres slits at the top of the sump incase they totally clog up. It happened to me once with felt socks lol

I had originally planned on using a filter roller with this tank, but after going through half a roll, decided against it from the smell that came from under the tank. I tried a period with no sock and found i was having all sorts of crap settle in my sump so I started running mesh filter...

High precision hydrometers are old school technology, yet serves as one of the best salinity tools out there IMO. Nothing wrong with old...its proven to grow corals..just like all of the other methods.

I think you're on to something here....if we get a group buy going on some growth hormone, in the long run, we'll all have larger tanks. Whos down? Lol My tank/stand sits at 60" high and the rim comes right under my armpit. I've thought of getting a taller tank in the 26-28ish tall range, but...

After experiencing an aluminum stand I don't think I'd go back to anything else. There built tough and weigh next to nothing. Mounting stuff on it is a breeze and it leaves room for customization if needed. Alufab had the best service of the ones I did research on. Mike was very easy to work...

Another one?!?!?! Lol... @SupraSaltyReefer you're a bad influence bro..hahaha

All that would be needed is the mesh and fitting for the tube. If anyone needs the small coated neodymium magnet to mount it to the sump wall I bought a crap load of em and got some spares

I had that issue with some detritus that came off some live rock settling in the sump and getting into the line. I picked up a couple of these and haven't had a clog since.

It helps with the balance lol. That and I got one feeding reef jerky and the other with TDO pellets..anthias get hangry when not we'll fed

Forsure! Thanks again Ian! You going to CFM later this month?

Man than sucks to hear. I've been fortunate with the few issues I've had, but hope to not see the day when things go south for me
