JamesHL88 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think this skimmer is finally broke in. Now I have to fine tune it. Luckily the controled water level is going to make that as easy as set and forget. Link to comment

JamesHL88 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Oh lol. Just brainstorm it untill it comes to you. Or if your like me just start cutting and glueing things until you have something that works. Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Please excuse the tiny polyp. Its the only frag a had and i wanted to put something on it lol. Time to try my hand at fragging. Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Heck ya! I'm all for a good diy. It gets the job done now you just need some more frags on that thing. It's my second nature to just frag every zoa I come across. Makes me feel like some kinda fish surgeon or something, lol. It's a gateway frag though, next you'll find yourself with a dremel n diamond wheel, then behind the latest wet tile saw then you'll be with the rest of us going to reefers anonymous! Have fun n be careful. Link to comment

metrokat Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Reactor came in today and i got it installed. Does this look correct? Hi James, there is too little media in this reactor. The instructions should say fill it up with carbon but if it doesn't you can google it and read the recommendations online. Your thread doesn't suck. In fact want to start a ghetto DIY thread? I can contribute!!!! Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks kat. I was mostly wondering about the amount of gfo. I didnt want to shock my system by starting off with too much. I heard that can have negative affects on sps. I didnt wanna risk it since my sps are on a slow recovery now. How much gfo should be in the reactor when i swap it next time? About half of the reaction chamber? And should the gfo be sandwiched between the sponges or slightly tumblng on the surface with a large clear water column to the top sponge? Link to comment
GTi Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Your thread doesn't suck. In fact want to start a ghetto DIY thread? I can contribute!!!! I agree totally! I'm subscribed and I always check when there is a new post - I just don't post much these days. Since I switched over to my 55 gallon, I haven't started a new thread. I don't have much to do today, so maybe I'll start one. Link to comment
thehobdenmarina Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 No there's not too little in there go to bulkreefsupply.com for the gfo and carbon calculator Edit What ever the recommended starting dose is use half to start so you don't strip your systems nutrients too fast. Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Kat, if you make a diy thread ill contribute what i can Link to comment
jec11718 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 james, are u still running the ps160? if you are there are a few threads on rc about modding it. I just broke off the return tube that is inside the body of the 160. (the big tube inside the main body). and a mesh wheel mod too. josh Link to comment
