try a longer manual flush before you start producing, the auto flushes aren't typically long enough

thank you @ReyDeFarts and @Slingfox, I'm going to go with the same set-up, I should have got this from the start

Does that water level with the reefmat have any negative impacts? it looks low as they suggest keeping it level with the inlet. I'm working on a custom sump like you recommended and trying to decide on baffle height. Also it looks like you have the skimmer with the reefmat, any issues with that...

I can do that, I'll have a more detailed write up with some pictures in a few days

just to confirm, you have the aquaticlife on a timer and the standard float valve/shut off valve combo.. is there anything else I would need? This seems like the most simple solution.. Dan from Avast Marine is recommending this in lieu of the barrel tender he use to sell...

I may end up selling my aquatec booster and switching to that aquatic life version, ive figured out how to automate it but short cycling without flushing would still be a problem. It's too bad avast marine no longer sells the barrel tender, im a big fan of their ato products.

I tried that and the waste water kept flowing, there is a way to hook up a shut off but I guess I need to read the booster pump instructions, I could also do it manually without much of an issue but automation is fun. Edit, this is the missing part I was looking for...

wowow i wish my tank was fully set-up

I built one myself, super simple, I did have to add blocking in the attic to support the weight, far from perfect but perfect from far! I used 2040 to mount the lights so they can slide around and the top is mostly open to allow for airflow. I also added a noctua fan because the reefi uno's can...

Hoping someone on here might be an expert on setting up an automated RODI system. I've tried watching a few youtube videos and struggle to wrap my simple mind around it. I have an aquatec booster pump that came with a high/low solenoid but no idea how to set any of it up. I'm guessing I'll need...

saved me twice.. for bryopsis I crank just the blue channels, that seems to slow it down

go for the fluconazole, it's saved me twice

I'm looking for a sump for my 200 IM ext, does anyone build custom sumps around here? Ideally it would be around 48x18x18, filter roller - skimmer - return, I've been eyeing this geo sump but it costs a pretty penny: https://www.geosreef.com/product/geo-su46r-afr-uv-coming-soon/#toc_top Thanks!
