OP
What calcium reactor are you using? I'm running 2 part and considering switching over. I seem to have a hard time staying balanced on 250gal total volume system.

I've used a Korallin, PM, Deltec, and to me, it's by far the best. Has a built-in secondary reaction chamber and flow meter as well as pressure gauge. Can be run off a line from your return pump and doesn't need a peristaltic pump to keep effluent steady. |

Looking amazing! I admire your restraint in leaving negative space to keep the artistic aspect of the reef!

Amazing tank, even moreso given that you don't do water changes. I'm sorry if I missed it, but can you tell us what you keep your water parameters at? Also, do you only feed frozen food or do you feed a mixture of things? Finally, do you blast the rocks at all or rely only on your water movement to do that? Andrew

Amazing tank, I love the thought of no water changes. What does your cuc consist of? And how deep is your sand bed?

My sandbed is in the gray area, not shallow, and not deep, at around 3-4". I know it's supposedly "no man's land" to be in between but it hasn't faulted me in this system or my last system for 3 years/piece. Quote:
Sal - 1.025 Temp - 80-81 degrees F Ca - 420 ppm Alk - 7.8-8.0 dKh Mg - 1500 ppm (this I like to keep higher) PO4 - 0.03 ppm NO3 - 5-10 ppm K - 410 ppm I2 - 0.09 ppm I feed frozen mysis, bloodworms, LRS, Rods, live blackworms, NLS pellets (via autofeeder), Ocean Nutrition flakes, and tons of nori. I've never blasted my rocks ever, though I would be inclined to say it probably helps. I'm just lazy. I don't remove detritus from my sump ever either or use filter socks. Detritus isn't as evil as it's reputation makes it. Quote:

So, after seeing another reefer modify his Ocean Revive lights, I figured I'd try it myself.
What was the goal? To remove all the cool white 10k LED diodes and replace them with warm white 3.5k diodes. Also removed the useless red and green diodes and replaced them with 3.5k diodes as well. Why? Better usable spectrum of light and to help fix the Windex look I get from my LEDs as they are too focused on the blues/whites. I missed the warmer colors I'd get (red/orange/yellow) like when I had my MHs. While it's too early to call a success yet, my purples have been popping, my reds look marginally better, some of my green acros have a hint of yellow in them now, and all together, it looks more like my old MH bulbs with a fuller spectrum. Bonus... I learned how to solder! |
