Hey Ian are you running the Avast MR5 with bio pellets now? If so, how do you like the reactor and what pellets are you using? How much flow are you using and what pump to get them to tumble?

I am running the MR5 with bio pellets. I am using 1L of ecobak right now. So far so good. I am T'd off my return pump that is feeding my fuge. I am using a mag 9.5 for my fuge tank.

Thanks for the info Ian! I'm gonna order me the mr5.

You may want to consider the tall version. Not sure how much bio pellets you want to run though. Remember 4 cups equal a L.

I plan on getting the mr5 18". I run 500 ml WM ecobaks. Getting the 18" for my future bigger tank.

Nice Peach Astro Chalice?
That from Neptune's?

It's a lot of candy for a dentist !!!

The peach astro came from Alicia. She got it from Aquascene.

Looking pretty spiffy Ian

 

[sfboarders]

Did you add more or is that just the growth of the coral?

 

[iani]

Thanks Mike.

Some of both. Are you talking about the SPS John?

So has your fish population changed much? I see the Black & Achilles tang, few wrasses, couple hiding fish. Just curious because when I do my upgrade I'm going for more than 5 fish, but I don't want to have any more rock/hiding than I already have.

 

[iani]

Not a whole lot Mike. The # of fish is probably about the same as my last tank.
