Good luck buddy! When you get back I want an sps pack! Set up a webcam to use with fusion so you can check on the tank often! The new updates are getting better and better!

Thanks dude. I will get you a frag pack for sure in August. I have thought about setting up a webcam. I just don't know how I would do it. I never have looked into it.

Thanks man. Ya, I tried to space things to account for growth but that plan hasn't been working too well as of late. I just had to move my Hawkins colony over because my red planet grew into it and stung a branch. I guess in a fight, red planet wins.

 

Do the webcam,so you can check ont hat thing, it's too nice to risk loosing over the next couple of weeks.

I will look into it. It would be nice to check in on the tank while I am in Peru.

I have been neglecting my, and everyone else's, threads. Sorry people. I have just been busy today. It doesn't mean I don't like you any less!

 

Good luck Indy. :)

Thanks man! I am (almost) sure it will go OK. LOL

I was looking through your thread again and saw you banished your phosban reactor.

 

I am having trouble with a broad leaved algae and was thinking of getting one.

 

My measured NO3 is 0 and PO4 is 0.08. Tossed around getting biopellet reactor vs phosban reactor, as my phosphates seem to be off.

 

How was your experience with it?

I still have my TLF phosban reactor plumbed into my return, but I have it closed off as I don't really feel like I need it right now. I would recommend getting one. They work pretty well for the money. Just make sure you start off slow with the GFO. A quick drop in phosphates can be bad.

Just catching up on your build and read a few pages, I noticed that you have a joe the coral. I just picked up a tiny frag of this from a local reefer, im curious what yours looks like. Would you mind posting a pic? I thought it looked similar to a cali tort.

Here is my joe the coral frag. Seems to be doing well so far. Crappy cell pic

Here is a bad pic of mine. Under the Radion, it gets a really light green at the base of the branches, blue on the rest of the branch, green polyps. It's hard to tell from yours.

I was taking a look at your sump picture, did you use the return pump to pump water the the reactor then back into the tank?

Yes. I have a mag7 that pushed water back up through plastic tubing and back it no the tank.

My mag7 return pump is rattling a bit. I am not sure if it needs to be replaced, but I may take the opportunity to take it offline and get a quitter pump to take it's place. What should I get? I have read good things about eheim pumps. Whatever I get, I want it to have a 3/4'' outlet so I can easily hook it up to my return line.

 

I need to also be able to get it soon because I leave for Peru in a week.
