Needreefunds Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Love the scape kat! While I do not run the lifereef on my RSM, I have used one before and I loved it. Very well built and super quiet. Quote Link to comment
castiel Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I'll be interested to see hwo you get on with the lifereef. I still haven't decided whether to drill my new tank, or use a lifereef. Quote Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Kat - BRS reactors are nice provided you have a place to mount them. Two Little Fishes Reactors are affordable, come with a lip to hang on back of sump, come with the ball valve and the 1/2in outter diameter tubing fits most pump sizes you would be looking at for your return pump.

Yeah, I was looking at the TF reactor from BRS, was debating getting it during my group buy order. I didn't but I am not ready for a refugium yet. Need an ATO first! This thing needs almost a gallon top off a day! The BC was a gallon a week if that. Still waiting for my spectrapure. Quote Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Which spectrapure did you get? My tank needs 2 1/2 -3 gallons a day topped off lol. Quote Link to comment

FlCandy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 PH 8Ammonia 0 Nitrite 5.0 Nitrate 5.0 Woot! Almost there lady! Love dotty backs, but I wanted a nice quiet tank, man I wanted one so bad though. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 yeah, can't keep him with my other planned fish and the current ones but girrrl was this fish a beauty. Quote Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I know mine has a neon dotty back there and he is just gorgeous. Wanted him so bad, but I resisted for the peaceful guys. Glad I did since it's looking like I need to find a new Yasha Goby.... Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 i hear they can be real good at hiding, them yashas Quote Link to comment
FlCandy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 i hear they can be real good at hiding, them yashas I know, it's been 2.5 weeks and I have not seen him eat. I had a HUGE diatom bloom but no crazy readings about 5 days after I saw him last (2 Tuesdays ago) and now it is getting better. Everyone else is fine, he looked skinny when I got him so hey I will try to find a female JIC he is alive in there, but I doubt he is. I just refuse to tear the tank apart to find him. Can't wait to see fish in this tank girl! Quote Link to comment
Squared Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 when are transfering everything kat? Quote Link to comment
dmarkham Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thanks Stevie for showing her the OM, (original mod). I tried to utilize the RSM double elbows, but the tubing I got for the ATO pump would not fit. Besides, you only need one of the two elbows. I forgot to mention that I did have to cut out the opening, where tthose elbows go, to fit the PVC pipe in the back. I think this would be better used for a chiller then a ATO. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Contents of the BC will be moved slowly, I probably will start with corals. Fish get moved in March. Quote Link to comment
