My New 125 gallons Tank

[SamHa]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share my aquarium setup with you. It is 125 gallons 6 feet long.
My Sump is 40 gallons and I have a Skimz Monzter sm163 inside of that. I am trying to grow cheato there as well
But after a week or two I do not see that growing anymore. Actually I think it happened after diatom bloom I guess. Before getting my Filter Guys RO/DI water system I guess my water quality was bad and that happened. I got some snail inside the sump to get ride of that and it helped but still my cheato does not look growing.
Here I uploaded few pictures of my system.

Thank you very much! I wish I was that expert to go for reef but still I am happy with fish only

looks nice and clean. perk with going fish only is that you can get not reef safe things

Are those sponges or rock slab in the sump where you grow cheatos?

That is true! Still I like the freedom that it give me for medication if something goes wrong like ich!
Can I still use the Cupramine in the main tank if it is fish only or I have to treat the sick fish in separate tank?

They are just sponges. I thought maybe it is a good place for bacteria to grow.

Oh no you don’t want that, replace those with small live rocks or those reef bricks.

Damn! sure I will take it out soon! Actually I have couple of live rocks there as well that I got from friend.
I wanted to remove the sponge slowly in case I lose beneficial bacteria!

look up hyposalinity, in the display you would want to go that route to treat ich. of course, qt is always better

hyposalinity! Nice! I watched a video and loved the idea!

+1 on hypo. Don't run copper in DT in case you want to go reef later.

I wouldn't worry about copper. But I believe puffers are not good w copper

Yeah I think hyposalinity is the best way!
