Wow super impressive tank, you mentioned you picked it up for a grand did you get it from someone local or a store? I ask because I love the tank and the look I haven't seen a tank with these dimensions before

Nice. How often do you feed your shark and what do your nitrates run at with him in the tank?

updates! got a new skimmer off of craigslist! It is a custom 4.5' tall geo dual beckett ran off of a dolphin 3900s pump only 150watts. It pulls mud out of my tank like no 2mro. I also sold my shark he ate about 10 of my fish. my nitrates droped to zero and got a bad cyno out break so I took my ats off line and turned down the flow on my reef dynamics bio pellet reacter. And got the aluminum for my new led build that I will be starting soon.
FIRST 24 HOURS OF BREAK IN FIRST 3 DAYS!!! THE TANK I HOOKED MY SKIMMER UP TO TIE IT INTO MY SYSTEM NEW PLUMBING UNDER MY TANK MY REEF DYNAMICS BIO PELLET REACTOR 500G MODEL

Tank looks much better. Have you dropped your alkalinity now that you don't have sand in the tank?

Tanks is looking good JR. Explain why you removed the sand. I understand about the dinos but again I don't.

As for my build, it is on pause because of electrical work needing to be ran to the room. Plus I will be having alot of doctor appointments in the next couple months so I have to fit in the build as I can. The tank should be setup and running by then. Just trying to juggle health and family issues first. |

i also removed most of the sand in my 150 reef. Since I removed it the brown slime has disappeared! Im breaking my tank down now to move to a new home but when i set the system back up i plan to use crushed coral or crushed live rock for substrate. Should be alot better i believe because water will be able to flow through it better to flush out the detritus.
