pschom Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 That sucks. You think your getting Alk swings or something else is going up and down? Really wonder why that's happening? I'm going to order another MP10 as well. Don't know when. And to battery backup too. Link to comment

brad908 Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 That sucks. You think your getting Alk swings or something else is going up and down? Really wonder why that's happening? I'm going to order another MP10 as well. Don't know when. And to battery backup too. The doser keeps Alk and cal pretty consistent, I've been testing every day for the past week and haven't seen really much movement. I wonder if adding the zeovit reactor is causing problems, sucking out nutrients too fast. Will probably switch to having to go off and on every four hours. I like the Red Sea tests, but ordered the Hanna Alk checker. Heard they are great. Nice equipment, sorry to hear about your milli. :sThanks and yup it sucks lol Post photos of it set up on the tank ASAP please! Thinking about getting one of these or the xaquas.Dropping the tank off this weekend to get drilled Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Won TOTM on my club forum. Good way to send off this tank. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Congrats man. So when is it coming down? Or when is the new one going up? Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Congrats man. So when is it coming down? Or when is the new one going up? Thanks. The new one is at a LFS being drilled now. It all depends when I can get the contractors out to install my new floors. The breakdown and set up will all be done in a weekend. Currently have all the dry rock sitting in buckets, and I think I am going to get the Maxspect Razor 27". I was really leaning towards t5 or another radion, but the Razor is the best choice for now. I am aiming for june 22-23 breakdown/build. Link to comment

Or did I miss it? Was gonna say depending on how you build the stand you could probably do a 18x16x4 frag tank under the stand on a platform and use the radion as the light. Make the sump 18x16x14 or something and you should have plenty of room. Just an idea Link to comment

brad908 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yea, 36x18x18 but I'm using the same stand. I am doing a minor modification to the stand and removing 3 drawers so that I can have a bigger sump. I ordered a 22x12x15 sump. It will have 3 chambers: skimmer, Zeo reactor, and return. I need to find door magnets, I am keeping the face of the drawers and will glue them to plywood, then I need the plywood to attach to the stand. I was going to get the sump with dimensions of 22x16x15, but didn't think the extra 4" was worth the money. Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 NICE! Good thing I decided to drink and not frag yesterday, need these full corals for the photoshoot haha. Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sump guy thinks bottom left is the best option All of these are considered custom. Standard is just a 2 chamber 3 baffe set up like the picture above. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I like the two on the right they offer the most contact as well as spread of flow across each chamber Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 I like the two on the right they offer the most contact as well as spread of flow across each chamber I sent him this. Hopefully as the final layout Link to comment

pschom Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 So what's the 16.25x8.12x?x? area for? Fuge? Link to comment
brad908 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 So what's the 16.25x8.12x?x? area for? Fuge?Fuge is L-ish shaped. If you think of it in two rectangles, one would be 11.75"x7.25" and then 4.5"x8" Looking around for what light I want. 1. Build my led grow light bar http://www.buildmyled.com/all-purpose-growth-lights/ 2. Nano Box by DaveFason 3. DIY...rapid led or led group buy Link to comment

Are you going with that crazy looking green sump? Maybe There is a place in Manassas, VA called Artfully Acrylic/Incredible corals that makes nice custom sumps too. Idk how far it would be for you, it is like 45 min for me. Link to comment
